At a glance, here are the basics you should know about solid surface as a material:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Composition: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Solid surface is typically made with 33% synthetic material and 66% natural components like minerals.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Customization: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These countertops can come in practically any color known to the human eye (and some known only to bees). They can also replicate the look of marble and other natural stone.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Affordability: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Solid surface countertops are one of the most <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/durasein.com\/ca\/choosing-right-solid-surface-material\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cost-effective ways<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to remodel your kitchen or bathroom because pricing is so competitive.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quartz<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the name implies, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/durasein.com\/ca\/best-material-bathroom-countertops\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">quartz countertops<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are made of crushed-up quartz crystals and other minerals, all mixed with resins in natural or custom colors. Here are a few other things you should know as an introduction to quartz:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Composition: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In most cases, quartz countertops are roughly 10% synthetic material like resins and pigments and 90% engineered natural stone.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Customization: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quartz is known for being an easy way to replicate the look of granite, marble, or other types of stone that occur in nature.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Affordability: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite its reputation as a premium countertop option, quartz is in the middle of the pack between these three countertop materials.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Granite<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Slab granite comes mined directly from the earth and has the most natural look of the three types. Here are a few points you should know about this luxurious option:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Composition: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Granite is all natural\u2014while it needs to be honed and polished to serve as a countertop, it doesn\u2019t have any synthetic materials added to it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Customization: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While it depends on the mineral composition of the rock being quarried, granite comes in all types of natural shades, from white to black and even red or green.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t        <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n    <section id=\"dfx-block-7256b952\" class=\"post-text-content-section align-padding-left\">\r\n        <div class=\"post-text-content-holder\">\r\n\t\t\t                <h2 class=\"title\">Durability<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"text\"><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Solid Surface Countertops vs. Quartz<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both quartz and solid surface countertops are known for being highly durable in their own right. Neither option needs to be sealed and they\u2019re both nonporous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The biggest difference between the two is that while solid surface can scratch, some types of quartz countertops can be scorched.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Solid Surface vs. Granite<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019d be forgiven for thinking granite is the toughest type of countertop you can find\u2014after all, mountains are made of it. However, if rock slides aren\u2019t enough of an indicator on their own, granite is prone to cracking and breaking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For some people with granite countertops, these cracks can be expensive to fill. Not to mention, there\u2019s no way to completely fix cracked granite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By contrast, solid surface countertops are less prone to cracking. While they can be scratched, these scratches can be sanded out fairly easily with standard sandpaper. Furthermore, you can also avoid scratching your countertops by not using them as a giant cutting board when you\u2019re preparing food.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t        <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n    <section id=\"dfx-block-a425caea\" class=\"post-text-content-section align-padding-left\">\r\n        <div class=\"post-text-content-holder\">\r\n\t\t\t                <h2 class=\"title\">Appearance<br \/>\r\n<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"text\"><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Countertop Seams<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because of how it\u2019s created and installed, solid surface material is famous for having a smooth, seamless appearance. Countertops made of solid surface also have seams, but they\u2019re far less visible than other materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the other hand, quartz and granite are known for having visible seams due to the nature of what it takes to install them in your space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Touch Factor<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quartz and granite are famous for their smooth, glossy surfaces. Once they\u2019re honed and polished, even touching them can give you a sense of luxury since you\u2019re touching real crystals and stones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By contrast, solid surface has a soft, matte-like texture to accompany its uniform appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall Aesthetics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This factor is pretty subjective and often boils down to personal taste.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Solid surface has uniform patterns, making it ideal for either simple solid colors like Bliss Blue or Arctic White. However, it can also replicate the look of natural stone fairly easily, without having to pay natural stone prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, quartz is a lustrous material with a 3D appearance that can imitate all types of stones. Even more, granite is the gold standard for many people because it has so many natural crystals from its volcanic origins.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t        <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n    <section id=\"dfx-block-485773a6\" class=\"post-text-content-section align-padding-left\">\r\n        <div class=\"post-text-content-holder\">\r\n\t\t\t                <h2 class=\"title\">Maintenance and Installation<br \/>\r\n<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"text\"><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Solid Surface: Easy to Install &amp; Maintain<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re looking for a no-fuss way to make your bathroom, kitchen, or other countertop space more beautiful, it doesn\u2019t get better than solid surface. These countertops are easy to maintain, don\u2019t need to be sealed, and can take just about any beating you can dish out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They\u2019re also far easier to install because they\u2019re usually a few hundred pounds lighter than quartz or granite. If you want your countertops to look and feel beautiful without making your fabricator and installer resent you for the delicate operation they\u2019d have to do, solid surface is the way to go.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quartz: Variety with Vulnerability<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although it\u2019s beautiful to look at and overall a hard material to have as a countertop, quartz isn\u2019t invincible. This is especially true if you put a hot pan from your stove directly onto the countertop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As mentioned, quartz can be scorched with enough heat exposure. Although there are products to help clean up burn marks, they often require the work of a professional to be restored to their former perfection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a countertop, quartz can also be expensive to install because it\u2019s heavy and hard to work with. Most quartz slabs weigh hundreds if not thousands of pounds, are hard to drill into, and are breakable. Needless to say, you\u2019ll need to make sure you hire a professional and be prepared to pay out\u2014if you\u2019re not already paying out for new cabinets that can hold their weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Granite: The Price of Beauty<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s a reason why granite countertops are considered one of the top luxuries in home design\u2014they\u2019re beautiful, but they\u2019re both expensive to install and maintain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Granite is the heavyweight champion of the countertop world, making it even harder to install than quartz. Because of this, you\u2019ll need to hire a professional who can reinforce your cabinets before installing your new countertops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Without a doubt, granite has an unmistakable natural beauty to it that\u2019s hard to fully replicate. However, much like a stereotypical Hollywood diva, granite countertops are somewhat high-maintenance. They require sealing every few years, especially if your countertops are lighter in color.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Otherwise, your white granite countertops could easily turn dingy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t        <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n    <section id=\"dfx-block-8e18cf26\" class=\"post-text-content-section align-padding-left\">\r\n        <div class=\"post-text-content-holder\">\r\n\t\t\t                <h2 class=\"title\">In-Home Function<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"text\"><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Granite vs. Solid Surface Bathroom Countertops<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Granite countertops are great for adding luxury to your bathroom space, especially if that bathroom gets frequent use. However, it\u2019s just as fussy in the bathroom as it is in the kitchen and will require some maintenance because it\u2019s porous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, solid surface countertop material is a popular choice because it\u2019s easy to clean and maintain while still having an air of quality and luxury.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quartz vs. Granite vs. Solid Surface Kitchen Countertops<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Function and form both play roles if you\u2019re trying to choose a material for your kitchen. Your kitchen needs a countertop material that can withstand the wear and tear of meal prep three times a day, potentially for life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need a material that can withstand heavy-duty kitchen usage with straightforward maintenance, solid surface may be your best bet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By contrast, if you\u2019re looking for a more unique option and don\u2019t mind working around materials that are a bit more delicate, quartz and granite are good choices. However, solid surface will almost always be the better option for your wallet.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t        <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\t<section
