Choosing the right countertop is key to the design and functionality of a kitchen. Porcelain and quartz are two of the most popular materials, but which one best suits your needs?
Key differences between Porcelain and Quartz
- Strength and durability
Porcelain: Highly resistant to heat, scratches and chemicals. It does not deform at high temperatures and is ideal for outdoors.
Quartz: Very resistant to impacts and stains, but sensitive to extreme heat, so the use of thermal protectors is recommended.
- Variety of finishes and colors
Porcelain: Wide variety of finishes, imitating marble, stone, cement or wood, with an ultra-modern look.
Quartz: Available in a wide range of uniform colors and finishes, with a warmer and more elegant texture.
- Maintenance and cleaning
Porcelain: Non-porous surface, very easy to clean and without risk of liquid absorption.
Quartz: Low maintenance and high resistance to stains, although the use of abrasive products is not recommended.
Which one to choose?
If you are looking for a countertop that is ultra-resistant to heat and scratches, porcelain is an excellent option, especially in high-use kitchens or outdoor spaces. If you prefer a warmer, more versatile material with a greater variety of colors, quartz is ideal for achieving a balance between aesthetics and functionality.
