Title: Quartzite vs. Quartz vs. Granite — Which Stone Is Right for Your Space?

Intro:
Choosing the perfect countertop or surface material can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. At Dynamo Surfaces, we guide designers, builders, and homeowners every day through the differences between quartzite, quartz, and granite.

Quartzite: Natural Strength, Luxury Look

Quartzite is a natural stone formed under intense heat and pressure. It’s durable, heat-resistant, and often mimics marble’s look—making it ideal for those who want elegance without high maintenance.

Pros:

• Natural and unique patterns

• High heat resistance

• Very durable

Ideal For: High-end kitchens, designer bathrooms

Quartz: Engineered for Performance

Quartz is man-made using crushed quartz stone and resin. It’s non-porous, stain-resistant, and incredibly consistent in pattern.

Pros:

• Uniform appearance

• No sealing required

• Highly stain-resistant

Ideal For: Busy families, modern kitchens, commercial interiors

Granite: The Original Powerhouse

Granite is a classic natural stone, beloved for its rich texture and variety of colors. It’s more affordable than quartzite and offers solid durability.

Pros:

• Natural and varied patterns

• Heat and scratch-resistant

• Widely available

Ideal For: Traditional kitchens, value-focused remodels
