Which is Better: Natural Stone vs. Man-Made Material for Countertops?

Having been a part of the stone industry for 18 years I still feel the excitement and energy of learning about stone. Seeing new colors, new techniques and more countries becoming involved in such a unique industry encourages that excitement. When challenged with the question "why granite as opposed to any other surface," a thousand reasons raced through my mind and I thought (out loud), "given the choice, who wouldn't choose granite?"


The fact is many people don't select granite for their countertops. Many choose man made surfaces known as "Solid Surface" such as Corian, Gibraltar, and Surrell which are actually plastics. These materials will scratch, but because they are so soft, you can repair them by sanding the surface. However, over time repeated sanding will dish your countertops. When considering Solid Surface keep these things in mind:

-There are about 125 different colors to choose from.

-Solid Surface will burn. You cannot move a hot pot directly from the oven or stove on to your countertop.

-Because it is a softer material, you may save a glass or two.

-This is the only material that appears seamless. The seams will be less noticeable than either granite or engineered stone.

-It will stain. However, abrasive cleaners should be able to remove most stains.

-The seams will be less noticeable than either granite or engineered stone.

-Available in a matte finish only.

-Solid surface will not harbor bacteria; bacteria do not eat plastic.

-Cost: Low end is $35-50 per square foot, and can run up to $85 per square foot.

There is another manmade countertop surface known as "Engineered Stone." These products include Cambria, Zodiaq, and Silestone, to name a few. Engineered Stone is a resin-based quartz material manufactured to imitate natural stone. Each manufacturer of engineered stone produces their own color pallet of approximately 35 colors. When considering Engineered Stone for your countertops keep these things in mind:

-Engineered stone is harder than plastic, however it can scratch.

-Seams are more evident than solid surface (if seams are an issue for you)

-It has a stain resistant surface.

-Because it is harder than plastic, it may cost you to replace a glass or two.

-Because it is a resin based material, a hot pot directly from your oven or burners will affect this material. You should let your pan cool for few minutes before placing on countertop.

-Available in matte and semi-gloss finishes.

-Engineered stone will not harbor bacteria; bacteria do not eat resin.

-Cost: Low end is $45-60 per square foot, and can run up to $100 per square foot.

Granite is a natural product. There are approximately 400 different granite colors from which to choose. When considering natural granite for you countertops consider this:

-Granite will not burn. You can set pots directly from your oven or stove onto your countertops.

-Since it is the hardest surface, you may have to replace a glass or two.

-It is not a high maintenance product. It only requires sealing every 1-5 years, which makes it a stain resistant surface.

-Spots that occur from food and liquid can be removed. There are products on the market specifically to do just that. Available at stone specialty stores and from any stone professional.

-Granite in a kitchen application will not scratch (the only things harder than granite are not typically found in a kitchen).

-Available in polished, honed, brushed and antique finishes.

-Granite does not harbor bacteria; bacteria do not eat stone.

-Cost: Low end is $40-65 per square foot, with special pricing sometimes going down to $30 range. High end is $75-100 per square foot. Exotics $100 and up.
