That's another thing I forgot to mention. Granite as being a natural stone needs to be sealed at least every other year compared to quartz having zero maintenance. What damages unsealed granite the most is oil & most fruits, vegetables, meals ect have oil.

I want a carbon fiber countertop. Everything is better when it's made of carbon fiber.

Quartz is the best top out there. Quartz does not hold bacteria like Granite does. It also is twice the strength of granite. What quartz lacks is the natural beauty of granite. Granite has a natural flow to the stone with most colors. While quartz is made by man it looks unnatural.
But recently Cambria quartz has come out with the ability to make quartz tops look like natural flowing stone. Also Cambria is the only quartz product with a lifetime warranty & is 100% made in the USA.

you're welcome


While you're right about marble and granite being porous (carrera being one of the worst, granite depending on type being better) quartz damages when exposed to any acid or alkaline. Even the lemon juice or coca-cola or bleach can fuck it right up if left on it for more than a few minutes. It's also not heat resistant and you can never place anything hot directly on it, unlike granite, so if it's for counter tops near a stove Granite is a far better decision.

lol. this is something i've never thought about. I remember apartment hunting with my girlfriend and she was so picky about that stuff. I really just wanted to know if there were bed bugs, any sex offenders, subsidized housing close by and decent sound proofing because i shit bricks.
