Countertop FAQ

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

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

Don’t 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 trivets or 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 cause damage and scratch the surface. Rather, use a cutting board to protect your countertop from cutting tools and knife marks.

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

Also, see this great article in Architectural Digest on all cleaning tips.

In addition to the material and style, it is important to consider your budget for your countertops. They can vary considerably in cost, depending on the material you are using and the size of your kitchen.

Hari Stones Granite

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

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.

The Advantages of Quartz

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

The main benefit of quartz is that it is a man-made material. This results in a more uniform, consistent colour and pattern than natural stone. It is also non-porous, making it much more resilient to bacteria and stains. 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 where placing hot pots and pans directly on the surface will not cause any damage.

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

Overall, 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.
