    What exactly is quartzite, you might ask? We’ve all heard about granite and quartz countertops, but what exactly is quartzite? It is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone. The definition of a metamorphic rock is one that has been altered by great energy, which might include pressure or heat. Quartzite brings some qualities to the table that other materials simply cannot compete with. It is an extremely hard rock and it is not soluble in water or acid. In its purest form, it has a clear, marble-like white, while together with impurities it can provide the most breathtaking patterns and colors. The uniqueness of each quartzite countertop is one of the main reasons why people pick this material. Quartzite stone countertops can be a great addition to your home – we’re sure you’ve got that by now. Back in the day, they were only made from quartzite in the purest form. Nowadays, it also contains impurities, and thus needs very proper testing in various acidic solutions. Also, the price you might pay for a pure quartzite block can be very high. More often than not, the price of a quartzite countertop will be much higher than the same option in granite. The fabrication process will also be easier and you will never have to worry about impurities and other such issues. If the two options would have the same price, though, there would be no contest. Quartzite is more durable, has a very powerful feeling and the uniqueness of each project and design will surely persuade each buyer to opt for quartzite over granite. The choice, in the end, will always be with the customer and will always depend on the project.

    0 Quartz countertops versus granite countertops

    Here at Michigan Quartz, we are determined to provide the best countertop solution in the Michigan area for our clients. We have, of course, aimed to supply you with products that are a great mix between quality, durability and affordability. When talking about kitchen countertops, these products usually fall into two distinct categories: quartz countertops and granite countertops. Quartz countertops are just as strong as granite countertops, but usually provide more flexibility and are much easier to assemble. They are non-porous and require no separate sealing, which means they require little to no maintenance over the years. All things considered, they are heavier than their granite equivalent, which means you will require professional installation. One drawback of quartz countertops which we wish to mention here is that they discolor when placed in direct sunlight. If one part of the countertop receives UV rays over time and another one does not, you may notice a color difference between the two. Granite countertops, first of all, have a non-uniform appearance. This can be a benefit as well as a drawback, because some people appreciate this non-standard look, while others do not. Granite countertops need to be sealed before they are used in order to be truly stain-resistant. While some argue that is it enough to have them sealed every 3 years, we strongly recommend that you do it yearly, because if the seal is compromised, your countertops can easily get stained. One last thing worth mentioning is the fact that no two countertops are the same, thus bear in mind that the stone you receive will be slightly different than the one you saw in the sample. We at Michigan Quartz  currently sell both quartz and granite countertops.

    The granite vs. quartz debate for kitchen countertops can be added to the list of debates that seem endless, like Coke vs. Pepsi or Canon vs. Nikon. Supporters of both parties are quick to bring studies, press releases, and customer feedback in order to prove that their countertops of choice are better than their opposition’s at any given time. We’re here to give our two cents on the topic today. Marble countertops were a sign of wealth and luxury around the mid-90s. Then, if you owned a natural stone countertop, this was a clear sign of the fact that you are doing well in life. This idea has eroded in time but still has a few followers – although nowadays people can choose from a much wider array of options. The most common options, in terms of price, appearance and quality are quartz countertops. And why wouldn’t they be? On average, these countertops are a little cheaper than their granite equivalents. Being non-porous, they require no sealing and are much easier to maneuver, install or move to a different location. They don’t require yearly re-sealing and need little overall maintenance. Their appearance is also cleaner and more uniform – and there are some brands sold by companies like Michigan Quartz which produce wonderful countertops which will be the highlight of your new kitchen. Choosing countertops made from quartz over granite ones is also an investment in the future. If you ever decide to sell your home or rent it, these countertops will increase the value of your home. Since they have a very long life and don’t require lots of maintenance, their next owners will be relieved to see them in your kitchen. If you need further information, contact Michigan Quartz for more information and more details regarding installation, prices, and models. You won’t regret it!
