Quartz vs. Granite
Quartz countertops are generally manufactured using crushed quartz, which typically forms about 95% of the total composition. The rest comprises binders and pigments that enhance the quartz's natural brilliance or introduce additional color. Also, to add a sparkle to the countertop, recycled glass from environmentally-friendly sources, or thin metallic flakes can be incorporated.
Our Gretna quartz countertops, thanks to the resin used, are highly resistant to stains and scratches. The inherent non-porous nature of these countertops eliminates the need for frequent resealing. In contrast, granite countertops require a protective layer at least once a year. With quartz, your kitchen preparation becomes a simple, one-time process.
At The Stone Gallery, our exquisite quartz countertops provide a plethora of patterns, flecks, and swirls, offering diverse installation possibilities to enhance any kitchen. With a range of finishes beyond just polished – including sandblasted, embossed, or honed – your Gretna quartz countertops offer unmatched versatility. Now, you can replace textured slate, glossy granite, or matte limestone with quartz!
