Are you in the market for a new countertop for your home or office? Having trouble deciding between all the amazing available options? From natural stones like granite, marble and quartz to man-made materials like Corian or laminate, there are a wide variety of countertop choices for bathrooms, kitchens or bars. If you are exploring countertop options, you may also question the price points of your choices. Spectrum Stone Designs, Central Virginia’s leading natural stone fabricator, answers the question, “How much does a quartz countertop cost?”
The factors that affect the cost of a quartz countertop are similar to those that determine the price of a granite countertop. From the way it is fabricated to the location of craftsmanship and the type of edges you select, your quartz countertop cost may vary.
How it is made
A quartz countertop is made from a combination of approximately 90 percent ground quartz, a stone found naturally in the earth, and resins, polymers or pigments. The price of your quartz countertop may depend on how finely the quartz is ground. Typically, coarsely ground quartz will produce a speckled appearance. The more the quartz is ground, the more sleek the look.
Location, location, location
Quartz is produced by a variety of companies, some of which completely craft their quartz within the United States. Depending on where the quartz is ground and the resins, polymers and pigments added, the price of your quartz may vary. At Spectrum Stone Designs, we carry a variety of manufacturers of quartz using only top-quality stone and the safest materials.
Edging
From eased and round to bevel or bullnose, there are many different ways Spectrum Stone Designs can create the perfect quartz countertop edges for your home or office. The more complex the edge, the more likely it will affect the cost of your countertop.
