Find the right material for your project.

Quartz is an engineered, non-porous surface that never needs sealing and comes in consistent colors. Quartzite is a natural stone with marble-like veining that is harder than granite but should be sealed periodically. Quartz is the lower-maintenance choice; quartzite offers one-of-a-kind natural patterns.

Porcelain and quartz are the most durable for everyday use — both resist scratches and stains, and porcelain is also heat- and UV-proof. Granite and quartzite are very hard natural stones that hold up well to daily use.

Yes. Natural stones like granite and quartzite should be sealed periodically — typically once a year — to resist stains. Engineered quartz and porcelain are non-porous and never need sealing.

Yes. We walk you through durability, look, maintenance, and budget for granite, quartz, quartzite, and porcelain, and show you full slabs before you decide.
