Can you reuse/refabricate granite or quartz countertops?
Comments (3)Hi Shanin, I’ve just discovered your post and in a similar situation, so just wondering how you got on with recycling/repurposing your quartz worktops?! I’m of the mindset ‘if there’s a will, there’s a way!’ (compromise/creativity might be required!) so fingers crossed it is somehow possible! :)...See MoreCountertops Granite vs. Quartz debate
Comments (2)"two black granites that looked the same and the import was cheaper" - I don't believe there is any domestically quarried (north America) pure black granite. Some "black" granite is dyed to make it blacker and IMHO dyed stone should be avoided. Cold Spring Granite does have a color "Mesabi Black" which is a nice color and is quarried in Babbit MN near the Canadian border....See MoreAdvice for new countertops - granite or quartz??
Comments (6)IMO granite beats quartz hands down. Granite is almost bullet proof , if polished even better . No issue wuth hot pots or behind cooking appliances and there are many light colored ones to choose from. Before you choose anything please get rid of the edison bulbs that make everything look yellow get all LEDs in 4000K you will be amazed at how different your space will look...See MoreHELP!What quartz island will match bianco antico granite countertops?
