Quartz Kitchen Countertops – 4 Things to Consider Before Buying Quartz Countertops

Corian

If you are looking for a premium kitchen countertop material you may at first think of granite or Corian®. However there is another option you may want to consider which is quartz. Quartz surfaces are made from approx. 90% quartz and 10% epoxy resin with some styles looking a lot like natural stone. You may have seen quartz countertops referred to as Silestone but this is actually a brand name, some other brands available include HanStone, Okite, DuPont’s Zodiaq and Formica’s Crystallite

Color and Finish of Quartz

One of the benefits quartz has over other natural material is that there is a massive range of colors to choose from. Which means you can be as conservative or daring are you wish. When selecting your quartz kitchen countertop you will also need to look at the finishes available as there is the highly polished option or a textured stone effect.

The problem that often occurs with natural stone is the fact that they can vary in shade and pattern so much. This is not a problem with quartz so if you order your countertop from a sample you will be pleased to know that you won’t have any nasty surprises when you countertop is delivered.

Durable

If you are going to spend a lot of money on your kitchen then you will want a material which will keep looking great for many years to come. One benefit quartz has over granite is that sealing is not required – this is ideal if you have a busy life-style. However it is recommended that you wipe up any spills to be on the safe side.

Prices of Quartz

The cost is calculated by linear foot and you can expect to pay around $110 to $250 per linear foot.

Other Notes

As of 2005, Silestone have included Microban on their quartz counters which prevents the growth of germs and bacteria. I am not aware any other manufacturer using Microban on their quartz but you may want to check this out.

If you are fed up of your kitchen then replacing your countertop can go a long way to giving you are totally new and luxurious appearance. This is why many people are choosing quartz work surfaces.

How Much Will My Laminate Countertop Cost?

Corian

So you’ve decided to install a new laminate countertop in your kitchen. Whether your home improvement project is to increase the value of your home or to create the dream look you’ve always dreamed of, price is always a consideration. By choosing laminate for your countertop you’re choosing durability, ease of maintenance and customized look and feel at an affordable cost.

Laminate sheets can range in price from $3 to $100 per linear foot based upon color, texture, manufacturer, design and location. First you must determine what type of laminate sheet you will choose for your countertop. You can then determine the material costs associated with your countertop.

Next determine the area of your countertop you will cover, one key point to this is to understand the difference between linear foot and a square foot. Countertop manufacturers build sheets that are customized to a depth of 24 inches the average depth of countertops. The average countertop is between 28-30 feet which means 28-30 linear feet if you measured by square foot your countertop would cover a 56-60 square feet. So measure the linear square feet of your countertop.

Now that you have your price per linear foot and total linear feet to be covered you can now determine your material costs.

[Price per linear foot * Total linear feet = Material Costs]

With your materials costs now known you must now make a decision, will you install the laminate countertop yourself or will you contract out the installation.

Installing A Bar Countertop In Your Home

Corian

Home renovation has become something of cultural phenomenon in today’s society. With more and more television shows and magazine features focusing on rejuvenating the decor and design in our homes, owners have followed suit, looking for new and affordable ways to maximize the value of their home through design changes. When it comes to getting the most bang for your buck when it comes to design and renovation, changing countertops leads the pack.

A countertop can set the visual tone for the room – and often at a very affordable price. Normally when we think of countertops we think of those surfaces that are found in the kitchen or bathroom. But there is another type of countertop that sets a visual and social tone for an entire room – the bar countertop.

An in-home bar space is the modern world’s answer to entertaining; a place over which to serve cocktails or coffee and gather with friends and family. A bar such as this sets a mood for a room – warm and earthy or cool and sophisticated; no matter what we choose our bar area to be chances are that it will set the tone for the much of the home. A bar countertop is the material that we use to dictate this tone.

There are essentially two options when it comes to building a bar countertop. Some people prefer to construct a whole new bar countertop starting from the ground up; while there are others who choose to build the countertop on top of an existing structure such as a cabinet, table, and the like.

This alternative option is typically much cheaper because you only need to buy the top layer, which can be found in a variety of materials and in a wide range of prices. Some of the more popular materials used to construct the bar countertop include Formica, ceramic tiles, Corian, wood, granite, marble, limestone, and metals.

Deciding which material to use depends on the type of tone that you wish to set. Wood and stone tend to suit a more traditional home while metal and Formica complement a more contemporary decor. Of course, budget always enters into this decision; materials differ drastically in price; granite is a much pricier choice than metal, while limestone is more affordable than ceramic.

Functionality should also come into play when deciding what type of bar countertop to install. If you are looking for low maintenance and easy clean-up then you may decide to pay the higher price for ceramic tile; if you are in the market for durability then granite may be the material you need.

Finally, the countertop you choose should fit within and complement the existing decor in the home as well as furthering the design ideas that you have in mind. Be sure to shop around before purchasing and do so with the larger picture in mind; bring pictures of the room in which the bar will sit and paint samples if you have them. The more information you bring to the table when deciding on a bar countertop the more successfully you will ultimately be in choosing a material that works best for your needs.
