Q. Is quartz better than granite?

Answer

Quartz is in fact tougher than granite, and as a result, it is more long-lasting. In point of fact, quartz is quite resistant to damage, and unlike granite, it does not have pores, making it simple to maintain a somewhat sterile environment on the counters. Quartz may be destroyed by exposure to temperatures that are too high; thus, always use heating pads while working with quartz cookware. Quartz, on the other hand, is often less costly than granite, with prices ranging from $70 to $100 per square foot installed in comparison to granite's price range of $60 to $270 per square foot installed. However, the least priced granite is an exception to this rule.
