I'm installing a pool. The builder tells me a quartz surface is better and will cause less maintainance, not stain nor absorb bacteria and cost less in the long run than marble as it will virtually never need replacement.
Does anybody know if this is true?

less marble will be used and replaced with quartz. marble is a 3 on hardness scale, quartz is a 7. the idea is that the larger, harder quartz will make for a denser (less porous), stronger finish that will be more resistant to the chemicals used in your pool. No plaster lasts forever but in my opinion the quartz will look better longer than standard plaster. The same maintence is required no matter what finish you go with. Well worth the extra money though if you plan on staying in the house.
