What Is Premium Quartz?
High-grade engineered stone made from natural quartz and resin, with refined veining, consistent colour and strict quality control.
Types of Premium Quartz
- Pure whites and solid colours
- Marble-looks (Calacatta, Carrara, Statuario styles)
- Concrete-looks
- Speckled and terrazzo-looks
- Bookmatched designs
What Is Granite?
A natural igneous stone quarried around the world and in Pakistan.
Types of Granite
- Speckled (Kashmir White, Tan Brown)
- Solid-looking (Black Granite)
- Shimmering (Blue Pearl, Black Pearl)
- Wavy and veined (Brown Wave, Titanium Black)
Appearance
Premium quartz: clean, consistent, controlled. Marble-looks are very convincing. Slabs match closely.
Granite: natural depth and crystals; every slab unique. Exotic granites offer patterns no factory can replicate.
Cost
Premium quartz sits at the top of the quartz range. Granite spans from about Rs 250 per square foot (local) to about Rs 5,000 (exotic) in FB Marble's list.
Durability
Both resist scratches. Quartz resists stains better; granite resists heat better.
