Countertop FAQ

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

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

Marble, quartz 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 countertops 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.

Don’t use abrasive 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 also never good to cut directly on your countertop as this can scratch and cause damage to the surface. Rather, use a cutting board to protect your countertop from knife marks and other cutting tools.

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

Also, be sure to see this great article in Architectural Digest for additional cleaning tips.

In addition to style and material, you need to consider your budget for your countertops. They can vary considerably in cost, depending on the material used and the size of your kitchen.

Countertop comparison chart:


Quartz

Quartz is a premium quality man-made material composed of a mixture of resins and natural quartz. It is very durable resistant to heat, stains and scratches making it a great choice for busy households. It is still advisable to use hot pads or trivets when setting hot pans or pots on the surface.

Granite

Granite is known as a natural stone for its unique, hard, natural surface and remains to be a preferred option for kitchen countertops. It is, however, more susceptible to heat, scratching and stains. Homeowners usually choose granite for its exquisite look, designs and natural composition that really cannot be replicated.

Marble

Marble is a soft, natural stone and remains to be the popular choice for kitchen countertops. It offers a timeless appeal with its sophisticated hues and delicate detailing. Available in both a honed and polished finish. Marble countertops are generally the preferred choice when trying to achieve a higher end look.

Marble countertops are a little different where they can be a tedious surface in terms of stains, scratches and susceptibility to heat. For maintaining these tops, we really recommend yearly sealing the surface and maintaining daily care by simple cleaning with soap and water.

Summary

Overall, granite, quartz and marble are all good investments for your home. You just should keep in mind the unique properties of each one and how they will blend into your lifestyle with the design of your home before making your decision.

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

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 never fails to provide an exquisite finished look with natural composition and designs that cannot be replicated. Every slab is always different than the previous one and consistently produces natural results.

Once installed, it adds a special touch of elegance and luxury to your kitchen, enhancing the overall feel and look of your living areas.

In keeping your granite tops in good condition, it is recommended to seal it yearly, depending on the frequency of use.

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 patterns and colours

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

The other benefit of using quartz is that it is relatively 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 where placing hot pots and pans directly on the surface will not cause any damage.

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

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