1. Quartz vs granite, which of them is better?

2. Quartz is more expensive, or is granite more expensive?

3. Is quartz more popular or granite more popular?

In other words, many people are interested in the contrast between engineered quartz and natural granite. Let's talk about them today.

Which is better, engineered quartz or natural granite?

I will say that both of them are good.

Why did I say that? The reasons are as follows:

Quartz Vs Granite: Uses

Engineered Quartz mainly use for countertops, such as kitchen countertops, bathroom vanity tops, front desks in office places, and bar counters, which means that the primary use of engineered quartz is countertops.

Can engineered quartz be used on walls and floors?

The answer is yes.

So why is engineered quartz mainly used for countertops instead of floors and walls?

That is because there are many choices for flooring and wall coverings.

For home decoration: You can choose ceramic or wooden flooring, etc .; the wall can be wallpaper or wall cloth.

For shopping malls flooring: sometimes, artificial marble, natural marble, or granite can be cheaper choices than quartz flooring tiles. 

With so many choices, many customers will consider choosing cost-effective materials.

Granite widely uses for:

Ground floor;

Building's external wall dry hanging;

Various countertops (including kitchens, bathrooms, worktops, etc. ) but need waterproof.

So why is engineered quartz so popular in recent years, and the field of countertops, it has grabbed a lot of market share in granite?

Granite is a natural stone with chromatic aberration. If it is to use over a large area, it is difficult to find so much granite with similar colors.

Natural granite has small pin-holes, "breathing granite." These holes may hide dirt and stains and may leave odors. If there is no sealing, after using it for a long time, it is relatively unsanitary.

Regarding the source of natural granite: many governments from all over the world, they prohibit mining, to protect the environment. Many granite mines have closed, and their supply has stopped. For example, G681, G682, and other famous granites from China have stopped nowadays.
