The current furniture - in the home or the office - forms a substantial part of the current habitat. Together with the ergonomic factor (the dimensions of the human body in relation to its working environment) and the increasingly aseptic conception of the rooms are the three determinants of the current design. To meet these conceptual requirements, designers are looking for the most suitable materials. That is precisely what has happened with those that are usually used for the elaboration of floors, counters, countertops and other coverings of environments such as kitchens and bathrooms. Traditional stainless steel, marble and granite lined with traditional melamine or PVC-lined agglomerate boards, which have already been in place for decades, are now in full force. And these materials came out, for several years, a competitor of great category: the quartz. 

Quartz or granite is a choice that many face when we talk about kitchen countertops. If you think about choosing a beautiful, durable material for many years, these are two good options.
