The Main Difference
Granite is a natural stone, so every slab is unique. Quartz is engineered using stone particles and resin, giving a more consistent finish and a wide choice of colours.
Durability and Maintenance
Both materials are durable, but quartz is usually easier to maintain because it is non-porous. Granite can be extremely hard-wearing but may need sealing depending on the stone.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose granite if you want natural variation and character. Choose quartz if you want consistency, low maintenance, and a controlled colour palette.
