Porcelain Vs Quartz: Our Stone Countertop Expert Reveals Which Is The Better Option – House Digest

Speaking exclusively to House Digest,Irakli Khizanishvili noted that while the benefits of quartz countertops are many, there are some drawbacks that might lead one to pick porcelain, instead. Chiefly, he noted, using high heat isone thing you should never do if you have quartz countertops. That isn't the case with porcelain, though.

With that in mind,Khizanishvili explained that anyone with a penchant for cooking hot meals on the regular (and who might not be inclined to constantly popping down something like a trivet no judgment) would benefit from going the porcelain route. After all, your kitchen should be designed around you, not the other way around, so rather than end up with a damaged countertop, or ending up frustrated every time you cook a meal, simply choose the option that best fits your lifestyle.

Luckily, going with porcelain doesn't mean those considering using it will have to sacrifice the aesthetics portion.Quite the contrary, Khizanishvili noted that porcelain is a marble countertop look-alike often used as an alternative to natural stone. Plus, even if it's not being used to mimic marble, he pointed out that porcelain is a natural material in itself, making it the perfect choice for anyone who generally prefers that look.
