New kitchen countertops can transform a drab kitchen into one that’s the focal point of your home. Granite and quartz countertops are both attractive alternatives to boring laminate counters, but it can be difficult to decide which material is right for your home. Since 1997, Rocky Mountain Granite & Marble has offered bathroom vanities and kitchen countertop installations to Webster, NY, area residents, and they have the expertise you need to decide on a material.

Today, the pros from Rocky Mountain Granite & Marble share a few facts about granite and quartz that will help you make a decision:

• Granite: Granite is a type of stone that is mined from the earth. After it’s mined, it’s cut into slabs that are suitable for bathroom and kitchen countertops. Granite is available in a range of colors, including blue, brown, black, and green. Each slab is unique and has its own pattern of striations and color changes. Rocky Mountain Granite & Marble offers more than 2,000 slabs, so you’re sure to find one that’s perfect for your home. Granite counters are durable and easy to clean. Once the countertops are sealed, you only need to wipe away spills with a damp cloth.
• Quartz: Quartz countertops are made from crushed quartz mixed with a pigment to add color. Because pigment is added to create colors, manufacturers offer a wide range of hues and shades. Quartz is non-porous, which means it won’t absorb liquids that can cause stains. Once it’s sealed, cleaning up spills is quick and easy.
