bdpeters Report post Posted October 5, 2018 Hi All. I have seen both granite and quartz slabs for sale and was wondering what the differences, Pro's and cons. I have not used either one as I have a couple of old marble slabs from my dad that i use on top of a hard rubber mat. is one better than the other or better for certain things? thank you.

But once set in place the only difference is it being nonporous. However some granites are so dense they are also nonporous. None of this makes 2 rats butts in tooling or stamping though. One is just as good as the other. The thicker the better though. It will have slightly less bounce and a better sound insulation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
