Should a quartz countertop be chipped, it can simply be repaired instead of needing replacement.\u00a0 From a \u201cgreen\u201d aspect, quartz uses waste materials rather than quarrying new stone materials.\u00a0 However, you wouldn\u2019t want to install it next to a window unless it was an outdoor rated quartz (such as Dekton), because there is a possibility of discoloration due to UV light.\n\nNormally the decision comes down to one of two things: price or pattern.\u00a0 A common granite is less costly than a standard quartz; however, exotic granites can be much more expensive!\u00a0 Quartz manufacturers have been trying hard to have products that mimic the look of granite, but some feel these man-made stones can never replicate the beauty of a natural stone.\u00a0 Either will be a good choice if you are well informed and know how to care for your countertops!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
