If you’ve visited the Granite Direct Warehouse lately, you may have noticed a beautiful selection of quartz countertops, as well as their custom granite countertops in Sandy Springs. With each of these stones so readily available, you might find it hard to decide on one. If you’re facing this dilemma, consider the following information. The Composition of Granite and Quartz Granite is composed of quartz, so custom granite countertops in Sandy Springs will naturally contain a significant amount of quartz, as well as some mica, feldspar and a mixture of trace minerals. Quartz countertops, on the other hand, are probably mostly quartz with a lot of resins, polymers, and pigments to strengthen and bind the stone. Granite and quartz countertops have about the same level or hardness, both have significantly high melting points and neither are very porous. This makes both options very good choices for kitchen or bathroom countertops. Does Granite Cause Cancer? Lately, some people have claimed that granite countertops can cause cancer. They claim that naturally occurring levels of radon in the stone will decay and get into the air. However, the actual amount of the gas in your beautiful countertops is minimal. You’ll be naturally exposed to more of the radon when walking around outside, so don’t limit yourself based on this misinformation. Consider Your Preferences When it comes down to the final decision between custom quartz or custom granite countertops in Sandy Springs, you’ll have to ask yourself a few questions. Is price a factor? Do you prefer man-made or natural stone? Do you plan to use the countertop heavily and otherwise ignore it? How unique do you want your countertops to be? Discuss your answers to these questions with the professionals at Granite Direct Warehouse to be sure that you’ve made a choice that will satisfy you for many years. Ultimately, there is no wrong choice, so you can be confident that you’ll make a great choice.
