Best Kitchen Countertops in Kitchener-Waterloo & Guelph

Both are excellent choices and the right one depends on your taste. Granite is a natural stone with unique veining and colour variation in every slab, and it is heat resistant up to about 1200°C (2200°F). Quartz is an engineered stone made from roughly 90–95% natural quartz combined with resins and pigments, giving it a more consistent, uniform colour and a non-porous surface that never needs sealing. If you want a simple, uniform colour, quartz is the best choice; if you appreciate natural veining and texture, granite is the right choice for you.
