Complete Your Kitchen with the Perfect Countertops

It depends on whom you ask and what specific products they offer. In general, quartz is more expensive than granite, but there is an overlap in pricing between the two. In either case, it usually depends on the type of quartz or granite you choose. As an online retailer, Wholesale Cabinets saves big on overhead by eliminating the costs of running large brick-and-mortar locations. This means that we can offer the best prices on all of our products by passing those savings on to our customers. Additionally, our experienced designers can help you find the best countertop option for your budget.

Deciding which countertop material best suits your daily life can be challenging, as there isn’t necessarily a one-size-fits-all option for every project. When deciding which countertop is best for your space, consider the following factors: durability, stain and scratch resistance, maintenance, color, where you intend to use it, and price. Choosing a countertop that will stand the test of time is best, so make sure you order a sample to verify the quality of your countertop material.

Overall, quartz is the most durable countertop material, with granite being a very close second. Both materials are heat resistant, scratch resistant, and stain resistant. While quartz slightly outshines granite in overall durability for indoor use, it can’t compete when choosing the best countertop material for outdoor use. Due to the resin used in the manufacturing process of most quartz countertops, direct sunlight can cause it to discolor when used in outdoor applications. Granite, however, can withstand the elements and won’t discolor in the sun.

Maintenance is a significant consideration when choosing material for any home project, and countertops are no exception. With proper care, quartz and granite countertops from Wholesale Cabinets will require minimal maintenance for a stunning surface for years to come. Avoid exposure to household items that contain harsh chemicals and solvents, such as bleach or nail polish remover. Quartz and Granite are both resistant to scratches, cuts, and chipping. However, cutting directly on the countertop surface is not recommended. Additionally, though quartz and granite are heat resistant to normal cooking temperatures, we recommend placing a trivet or hot pad beneath any items giving off high heat (such as hot pans, skillets, air fryers, or crock pots).
