[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're going with quartzite! Natural stone but more durable than marble. What would you choose and why?[/quote] Is anyone looking at porcelain?[/quote] We did look at the Dekton product. IMO, it felt too much like ceramic tile to the touch and honestly I didn't see the alleged better resemblance of marble than quartz. Plus way more expensive. Seems like an unpopular opinion, but we are doing quartz for the kitchen and laundry in our custom build, mainly because of the durability and ease of maintenance. We have it in our house now and it is indestructible. I am a working mom with a 7 year old pigpen (love him, but he's a mess) and a 9 year old - I would LOVE marble but we don't live that life. We found a subtle, low-key pattern that doesn't scream fake to me. Then granite and quartzite in the bathrooms and outdoor kitchen. [/quote] A few years ago, everyone was doing quartz. Heck, everyone still is. I’m not sure when it became an unpopular opinion, but I’m with you. I prefer the solid color quartz myself because I don’t like it when materials try to pretend to be something they aren’t. I feel like quartz should be proud of being quartz. [/quote]
