Cost
Premium branded quartz sits at the top of the quartz price range. Brand reputation, warranties, marketing and import costs all add to the price.
Granite spans the widest range. In FB Marble's list, Pakistani granite starts at about Rs 250 per square foot, imported granite at about Rs 700, and rare exotics reach around Rs 5,000. This means granite can be both the most economical and among the most luxurious options.
Appearance
Premium quartz offers consistent, controlled designs and very convincing marble-looks. What you see in the sample is what you get on the counter.
Granite offers unique natural patterns — crystals, speckles, waves and shimmer — that no factory can replicate. Every kitchen is one of a kind.
Durability
Both are hard and scratch-resistant. Quartz resists stains better because it is non-porous. Granite resists heat better because it contains no resin. Granite can also be used outdoors; quartz cannot.
Maintenance
Quartz needs no sealing. Light granites need yearly sealing; dark granites need little.
Warranty
Premium quartz brands often offer long warranties, but these usually exclude heat damage, chemical damage and improper installation. Read the terms carefully.
Premium Quartz: Pros and Cons
Pros: no sealing, consistent design, excellent stain resistance, strong brand warranties.
Cons: higher price, heat-sensitive, not for outdoor use.
Granite: Pros and Cons
Pros: natural beauty, excellent heat resistance, wide price range, outdoor use, easy to repair.
Cons: light colours need sealing; natural variation between slabs.
The Value Verdict
If your budget allows and you want a spotless, zero-maintenance surface, premium quartz is an excellent choice. For maximum value per rupee — especially in large kitchens or homes with heavy cooking — granite usually wins.
There is also a middle ground: FB Marble's own quartz collection offers high-quality quartz with around 93% natural quartz content at practical prices, without paying for a famous brand name.
