Material FAQs
Does granite need to be sealed?
Yes. Because granite is a natural, porous stone, it requires a sealant to prevent liquids from seeping in and causing stains. Most homeowners find that sealing it once a year is the sweet spot for keeping it pristine.
Can I cut directly on a granite surface?
Technically, granite is incredibly hard and won’t easily scratch, but it’s a bad idea for your knives. Cutting on granite will dull your blades almost instantly. It’s always better to use a cutting board.
Is quartz the same thing as quartzite?
Not quite! Quartz is engineered. It’s made by combining ground-up natural quartz stone with resins and polymers. This makes it non-porous and very consistent in pattern, unlike its natural “cousins.”
Can I put hot pans on quartz?
Proceed with caution. While the stone itself is heat-resistant, the resins used to bind it together are not. Direct contact with a hot pan (over 150°C) can cause discoloration or cracking. Always use a trivet.
Why does marble stain so easily?
Marble is a metamorphic rock composed mostly of calcium carbonate, making it highly porous and reactive. Acidic substances (wine, citrus, coffee) can cause “etching,” which looks like a dull spot on the surface that can’t just be wiped away.
Can etched marble be repaired?
Yes, but it usually requires a professional. They can re-polish or hone the surface to remove the etched layer and restore the original finish. Using a “honed” (matte) finish from the start helps hide these imperfections better than a “polished” (shiny) one.
Is quartzite harder than granite?
Believe it or not, yes. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, quartzite generally ranks higher. It offers the high-end look of marble but with significantly more durability and resistance to scratching.
Will quartzite etch like marble?
True quartzite is chemically resistant to acids (like lemon juice or vinegar) and will not etch. However, some stones are sold as “soft quartzite” which may contain calcite; it’s always wise to do a “lemon test” on a sample before buying.
How durable is porcelain compared to stone?
Porcelain is incredibly tough—it’s nearly impervious to heat, UV rays, and scratches. Because it’s fired at extremely high temperatures, you can practically use a blowtorch on it without damage.
What is the “edge” drawback of porcelain?
Since the pattern on porcelain is printed on the surface (not through the whole slab), the edges won’t match the top pattern. If the edge is chipped, the interior color (usually a solid white or grey) will show through, making repairs more visible than with natural stone.
