Survey: Granite Countertops Still Preferred to Quartz

Erie Insurance's kitchen and bath design and product preferences survey finds granite is twice as preferred as quartz for countertops.

Despite the rising popularity of quartz as a countertop material, a survey conducted on behalf of Erie Insurance found that granite was twice as preferred as quartz among U.S. homeowners. Two in four respondents said they would want granite countertops if building a new home, while less than one quarter said they would want quartz.

The survey also found that one fifth of homeowners would "definitely" want a soaking tub, compared to 34% of respondents who said they "definitely would not" want the feature. More than half of respondents wanted double vanities in their bathroom, according to Erie Insurance.
