Nashville Quality Granite

Quartz is an engineered material consisting of approximately 95% ground natural quartz stone and 5% synthetic materials like resins and pigments. Granite, on the other hand, is a 100% natural stone extracted from quarries, then cut and polished for various applications. Quartz rates slightly higher on the Mohs hardness scale at 7, compared to granite's 6, making it somewhat more resistant to cracks and chips. However, both materials are considerably more durable than alternatives like soapstone or marble.

A simple water test can determine if your granite requires resealing. Apply water to the surface; if it beads up, the sealant is still effective. If the water is absorbed, it indicates that the granite is no longer protected against stains. As a preventive measure, it's advisable to reseal granite countertops annually to guard against staining and water damage. If you have granite countertops in Nashville, TN that need resealing, please reach out to Nashville Quality Granite for professional assistance.
