There is a lot of excitement when a new home is built. One of the favourites with Maple Creek Builders is making your interior selections such as countertops.
This is where the inside of your house starts to feel more like your home. Maple Creek Builders offers a great selection of materials to choose from, including laminate, quartz, granite, butcher’s block, and more. With most people landing between granite and quartz in their decision, we thought we would take a look at what makes these two products unique.
Granite is a 100% natural stone product. It is mined from quarries across the world, and is then cut down to large sheets, and polished to a shine. Depending upon where it is coming from, the granite may travel extensive distances to reach your home.
Quartz is also made of natural components, but with polymers and resins mixed in. Quartz is a mix of approximately 9 parts natural quartz to one part resin. It gets mixed together and is then set in a large sheet.
