How to Choose Kitchen Countertops

Your countertop is where the kitchen actually happens. Here is a simple breakdown of quartz and granite so you can pick the one that fits your kitchen and your budget.

Countertops get more daily use than almost any other surface in the home, from meal prep to homework to morning coffee. The right material comes down to how you cook, how much upkeep you want, and your style.

Quartz: low maintenance and consistent

Quartz is an engineered stone that is non-porous and does not need sealing, which makes it a favorite for busy kitchens. It comes in a wide range of colors and patterns, including looks that mimic natural marble, so you get a consistent, easy-care surface without giving up style.

Granite: natural and one of a kind

Granite is a natural stone, so every slab has its own unique pattern. It is durable and heat resistant, and many homeowners love that no two granite countertops look exactly alike. See our full comparison in quartz vs. granite: which countertop is right for you?
