The appearance of granite is made up of many colors and patterns that are created from the way it is formed in the cooling and solidifying of molten materials. Granite can have subtle aspects to it, or it can be used to make a statement within the home. There is almost a limitless selection to choose from, and since it is a natural stone, no two slabs are the same — another unique component.

Quartz Countertops

On the other hand, quartz is much more customizable. Quartz has the look of natural stone, but it allows the homeowner to personalize and choose the design. Of course, you can purchase it from a seller just the way it is. However, you can choose to customize the color and pattern for yourself in order for it to match your design.
