Both quartz and granite are excellent options for Illinois kitchens. Granite offers a natural, unique beauty, while quartz is engineered for consistency and superior durability. For busy Chicago families, quartz's resistance to stains and scratches can be a major advantage. We help you weigh the pros and cons.
As a natural stone, granite can be porous if not sealed properly, making it susceptible to staining from spills left too long. However, with regular sealing, which we can guide you through, granite is incredibly durable and adds significant beauty to any Illinois kitchen.
The material often referred to as 'fake granite' is usually quartz. Quartz countertops are man-made using natural quartz particles combined with resins and pigments. This results in a highly durable and consistent product that can mimic the appearance of natural stone.
The price for a 10 ft piece of granite countertop varies based on the specific granite selection and the required fabrication work. Factors like the rarity of the stone and the complexity of edge profiles and sink cutouts influence the final cost. We provide a free phone quote for your project.
