Countertop FAQ

The material you choose for your kitchen countertop may depend on your personal style, budget and the amount of wear and use your countertop will receive.

Factors to consider when selecting materials include durability, maintenance requirements, and the overall aesthetic you are desiring to achieve in your kitchen.

Quartz, marble and granite are premium-quality materials that add value and beauty to your home. They are always popular choices and attractive, standing up to daily wear and tear.

Quartz stands the test of time when talking longevity. It is very durable and artificially engineered to resemble natural stone.

Crushed quartz stone is mixed with resin and polymers to produce a surface that is long-lasting and serviceable while enduring many years of use.

Specific maintenance requirements for your kitchen countertop will depend on the material it is made of. In general, you should keep your countertop clean by simply wiping it down with a mild cleaning solution and damp cloth.

Never use coarse sponges or cleaning products as these can damage the surface of your countertop. It is always a good idea to protect your countertop from heat by using hot pads or trivets when placing hot pots and pans on the surface top.

It is never good to cut directly on your countertop as this can cause damage and scratch the surface. It is best to use a cutting board to protect your countertop from knife marks and cutting tools.

Maintaining and caring for your countertops are something to think about when in the planning stages. For example, granite requires regular sealing to prevent staining, where quartz countertops are much more low maintenance materials.

Unique, luxurious marble, granite and quartz with a beautiful, distinctive range of colours & patterns 

Hari Stones Granite

Granite has always been a consistently highly rated option for kitchen countertops over the years. Granite adds unusual beauty and value to your home and living space.

It is popular and always provides an exquisite finished look with natural composition and designs that are not easy to replicate. Every slab is always different than the previous one and consistently produces natural results.

Hari Stones Marble

Marble is a much softer, natural stone that has a timeless appeal with its delicate detailing and variety of hues.

As marble is a metamorphic rock and composed of mostly calcite, countertops are known for their unique patterns and veining. You really achieve a great high end finished look, and produces a very polished and honed finish.

Overall, marble is still a very good choice for kitchen and bathroom countertops if you are desiring it’s characteristic deep and timeless beauty.  

The Advantages of Quartz

Kasa quartz is derived from reliable, stable natural minerals and is available in a wide range of colours and patterns

One of the main benefits of quartz is that it is a man-made material. This results in a more consistent, uniform colour and pattern than natural stone. It is also non-porous, making it much more resilient to stains and bacteria. Quartz is a hygienic surface that is easy-to-maintain for kitchen countertops.

The other benefit of using quartz is that it is very low-maintenance. It does not require additional sealing like natural stone does, making it easy to maintain and care for. It is also heat-resistant so you can place hot pots and pans directly on the surface without causing any damage.

In terms of cost, quartz will be just a little more expensive than other materials. However, it is durable and long-lasting, always making it a very worthwhile investment.

In summary, quartz is a highly recommended material for kitchen countertops; it is very durable, easy to maintain/clean and is available in a wide range of colours and patterns.
