Granite: It stands out for its extreme hardness and resistance to wear, heat and scratches.
Quartzite: Quartzite is a very strong and durable rock equally recommended as granite in kitchen applications and high wear areas.
The hardness of natural stones is measured through a scale from 1 to 10 called “Mohs”, in which granite obtains a 6.5 and quartzite obtains a 7 comparing its hardness to that of steel. That is why both materials are excellent in terms of resistance to shocks, heat, scratches and the passing of time.
