Common questions
What is the downside of quartz countertops?
Quartz countertops can be damaged by extreme heat. Placing hot pots or pans directly on the surface can cause thermal shock, leading to discoloration or cracks. While very resistant to scratches and stains, sharp impacts on edges can cause chips. It's also important to use cutting boards and trivets to protect the surface.
Which is better, granite or quartz?
Granite is a natural stone with unique patterns and requires periodic sealing to prevent stains. Quartz is an engineered material with consistent designs and colors, is non-porous, and thus highly stain-resistant and requires no sealing. The best choice depends on your preference for natural variation or uniform appearance and your desired maintenance level.
Is quartz a lot cheaper than granite?
The price difference between quartz and granite can be minimal, with variations depending on the specific type of granite and the complexity of the quartz pattern. Some common granites are priced similarly to standard quartz. Exotic granites or intricately patterned quartz can be more expensive than their counterparts.
Can I put a hot cup of coffee on quartz?
Yes, a hot cup of coffee is safe to place on quartz countertops. Quartz is resistant to moderate heat. However, it is always recommended to use trivets or hot pads for items directly from the oven or stovetop to prevent potential thermal shock and damage to the surface.
Is it cheaper to buy or build a cabinet?
For a pantry cabinet, the cost comparison depends on materials and customization. Building a custom cabinet allows for precise dimensions to fit your space in Atlanta or Sandy Springs, potentially offering better long-term value and integration. Purchasing a stock cabinet might have a lower initial cost but may require modifications to fit perfectly.
How does Georgia's climate affect pantry cabinet work in Atlanta?
Georgia's high humidity and heat can affect the drying times of finishes and adhesives used during cabinet installation. Ensuring materials are properly acclimated to the indoor environment before installation is crucial to prevent expansion or contraction issues later. Our team plans for these conditions.
