Huntingdon Valley, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/23/2016 -- In a write-up just released via its website, Cosmos Marble and Granite discussed the pros cons of three of its most popular countertop materials: marble, granite and quartz. The article is titled, "Countertips Part II: Selecting the Right Material." The company responsible is known throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania and South Jersey for its quartzite countertops, among other material types.
The piece, which was the second installment in a series devoted to offering homeowners with general tips involving counter space, urged readers to consider that there are many factors involved in making a selection.
"Granite, which is in our company's name, is unsurprisingly one of the most popular materials we install," said Noula Karagiogos of Cosmos. Her article noted that granite is a fine material for people who want a naturally "beautiful" product that contains ample durability, as well as a variety of color options. However, Karagiorgos warned readers that granite is especially porous, which means it will absorb liquids easily and could lead to permanent stains. "Folks whose kitchens are prone to frequent spills of wine, oil or juice can still use granite, as long as they're diligent about resealing it every year or two," Karagiorgos said.
Next, the write-up discussed marble. It is one ofthe most used countertop materials, because many people consider its polished and multi-colored finish the epitome of beautiful. "It's also one of the most durable materials in world, and is completely heat resistant," explained Karagiorgos. Marble is known for its ability to hold piping hot pots and pans without the risk of damage. However, much like granite, marble is porous and will stain easily if not sealed properly.
Quartz was the final material discussed in the article. Since it is manmade, it does not come with any of the flaws that can be found in natural products like marble and granite. It is also available in virtually any color, and is considered exceptionally attractive by many. On the downside, quartz is expensive, so homeowners on tight budgets may have difficulty finding it to be a feasible option.
