Hi did you finally use nano white? Pl let me know asap as I have to decide for my kitchen. Thanks angela

quartz is a man made product using natural stone and a resin material. No sealing and is stain proof. I have had my granite for 10 years. I have never had a staining issue and set hot pots down on it seldom, but it has never bothered it. I've sealed it maybe 2-3 times over 10 years. granite really doesn't stain. So, compared to quartz, they are very similar. It all comes down to what you like the best.

If your question is around kitchen slabs. Quartz is an engineered stone. Basically wastage/chips of natural quartz stone is mixed with a resin and pressed into form of slabs. Hence the name - man-made or engineered stone. In day to day language they are commonly referred to as quartz slabs. Quartz and Marbles are two common materials used for making engineered stones.

Hello Janani, Granite is cheaper than Quartz. It is easily available. It can stand very high temperatures. Depending upon the color and coating it may be stain resistant. Once in a while it requires a repolish. Quartz comes in a lot of color variations, it is much harder than Granite and it is non porous so stain resistance wise it is better than granite. You should not keep 'very' hot vessels directly on quartz. It is made from recycled quartz so is more nature friendly than granite which needs to be quarried. For a regular use both of these needs a quick sponge cleaning. See what of the above factors matter most to you and decide accordingly. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.
