Quartz vs Granite Worktops: What Works Best in Thailand?

Quartz

Engineered quartz is non-porous, so it resists stains from curry, oil, coffee and wine without sealing. It comes in consistent colours and suits busy indoor kitchens.

Quartz

Granite

Granite is natural stone with unique patterns. It handles heat and sunlight well, which makes it a good choice near large windows and for outdoor kitchens. It needs periodic sealing.

Granite

Marble and sintered stone

Marble looks luxurious but etches with acids, so it suits low-use areas. Sintered stone is extremely durable and UV-stable, ideal for terraces and sunny kitchens.

How to choose

Indoor family kitchens usually favour quartz; outdoor and sun-exposed kitchens favour granite or sintered stone. See large samples before deciding.

Match the stone to the space

Quartz wins indoors for easy care; granite and sintered stone win in sun and heat.
