The surface of highly polished terrazzo is extremely smooth. When it encounters water or other liquids, the friction of the surface will be significantly reduced, which increases the risk of slipping. This phenomenon is similar to the wet surface of tile or marble, which may cause safety hazards in certain environments.

quartz countertops have become the first choice of more and more consumers because of their hardness and durability, anti-fouling and easy cleaning, diversified design, low maintenance cost and high environmental safety.

In 2024, the demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly materials continued to grow worldwide. Terrazzo stone, with its environmentally friendly characteristics, has become an ideal material in line with this trend.

Considering multiple factors such as material composition, hardness, usage environment and daily maintenance, quartz countertops are indeed easier to scratch than granite under certain conditions. The presence of its resin component makes its overall hardness slightly lower than that of granite, especially when facing sharp objects.

● Scratch resistance: Quartz countertops are slightly better than granite countertops, especially in the case of long-term use, quartz countertops can maintain a smooth and traceless surface. ● Stain resistance: Quartz countertops are not easy to absorb liquids or stains due to their non-porous structure, and they remain clean and beautiful for a long time, while granite countertops need to be sealed regularly.
