Granite vs Quartz Kitchen Tops: Pros, Cons and Price

Your kitchen platform takes heat, spills and daily wear. The two most popular choices are natural granite and engineered quartz.

Granite

• 100% natural stone, each slab unique
• Excellent heat resistance – ideal for Indian cooking
• Budget-friendly options like Black Galaxy, Jet Black and Tan Brown
• Needs occasional sealing

Quartz

• Engineered stone with uniform, modern designs (Calacatta, Statuario looks)
• Non-porous – highly stain resistant, no sealing needed
• Less heat resistant – use trivets for hot vessels
• Usually costs more than granite

Which should you choose?

For heavy Indian cooking on a budget, granite is hard to beat. For a sleek, designer look with minimal maintenance, choose quartz.
