Quartz CountertopsQuartz Countertops

Quartz Countertops

Quartz countertops became popular originally in the 2000s. This material is heat resistant, stain-resistant, scratch-resistant, and overall, exceptionally durable. These countertops are available in a variety of colors and patterns, from gray swirls to dark gray and black with intricate patterns throughout.

Granite CountertopsGranite Countertops

Granite Countertops

Granite countertops have been a go-to since the 1970s. Like quartz, granite countertops are also stain-resistant, scratch-resistant, and heat-resistant. Also, granite is nonporous and durable. This material for countertops is available in an array of tones and patterns to match any style and budget.

Kitchen Design Styles & Countertop Selections

Every design style often calls for different cabinet materials, color schemes, and even countertops. It’s no surprise that everyone has different design preferences, but luckily each kitchen design style has some flexibility to accommodate those differences. Below are some examples of the most popular kitchen design styles and some common countertop pairings

Traditional Countertops

Traditional kitchens can benefit from a variety of countertops, whether stone, quartz, or butcher block. Most Traditional designs tend to use granite with dramatic colors, veining, and movement which adds more richness to the design.

Modern and Contemporary Countertops

Countertops for Modern and Contemporary kitchens are much more minimal in design. This style is versatile in color, but quartz countertops are typically used the most. Examples include marble-like quartz or colored countertops with minimal pattern and design.

Rustic and Farmhouse Countertops

Natural characteristics of Rustic and Farmhouse countertops include more earthy materials which generally means granite. Some Modern Rustic kitchens will use a sleeker quartz for a cleaner appearance, but marble-like styles of quartz or granite with some light veining and movement is common.

Industrial Countertops

Like Modern and Contemporary styles, Industrial countertops are as minimal as possible. Colors and styles include quartz in flat grays, tans, or sometimes white. If the homeowner wants to make a statement, a dramatic veined granite top may be used, but quartz is more popular.

Transitional Countertops

Since Transitional style is a combination of Modern and Traditional styles, this means countertops can be used from either category to accentuate style preferences. If Modern style is more desirable, then simple quartz colors are best, and vice versa, if Traditional style is preferred, colorful granite is best.

Average Granite & Quartz Countertop Costs

In the remodeling industry, countertop pricing is calculated by square footage. When looking for an estimate, it’s important to provide measurements of your existing countertops or ask your kitchen designer for assistance. Average pricing of CliqStudios granite and quartz countertops is below.

Quartz = $66 to $122 square foot

Granite = $53 to $122 square foot

When pricing ranges are higher, it’s an indication of popularity in the market, inventory, and complexity it might take to create the material (quartz). In addition to the square footage pricing, the final price of kitchen countertops may include other upcharges based on your design preferences. Standard upcharges might include sink and cooktop cutouts, faucet cutouts, designer edge profiles and radius countertops.

Selecting the Perfect Countertops for Your Project

Choosing the best kitchen countertop for your family and home is an important consideration. The overall design aesthetic is often a high priority, but there are other things to account for. Does your family use the space every day and how rough is everyone on the kitchen? For the average family, durability is a common concern. Granite and quartz are both very durable, but each material offers different features.

Granite countertops are known for their natural beauty and unpredictable movement. They are also extremely durable and non-porous. Quartz countertops are also very durable and offer a unique anti-microbial property because of how the manufacturing process distributes the natural quartz rock evenly throughout the surface. Being that quartz is manufactured, it’s made in a wide variety of colors to suit any design.

Consider these differences carefully to decide whether you want more earthy countertops or more sleek and tailored countertops. Both are great options for any design aesthetic and will provide a beautiful work surface for years. If you would like personalized guidance on which professionally installed countertops will work best, speak with your designer. Our design team has completed thousands of projects and are happy to help you decide.

What is the most popular countertop?

The most popular countertops are currently marble-like quartz countertops with light to mild veining. Most homeowners love the look of granite’s natural qualities, but love the durability and anti-microbial properties of quartz stone. Quartz is known to be slightly more durable because the natural quartz rock is even distributed throughout the countertop during the manufacturing process.

What is the best countertop to use?

Granite and quartz are both great countertops for any busy kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, or bar area. Both provide beauty and strength for a worksurface that demands durability in any setting. Overall, the best countertops to use for home remodels tend to be materials that don’t require much maintenance, have a variety of colors to choose from, and continue to look beautiful long term.

What is the longest lasting countertop?

Granite and quartz countertops are both equally long lasting. Granite is a high-quality countertop because it is made from strong natural stone carved from the earth. Quartz is also a highly durable countertop with a long lifespan because natural quartz rock is evenly distributed throughout the surface during manufacturing.

What is the easiest countertop to maintain?

The easiest countertops to maintain out of every option are granite and quartz. Both materials are very strong, come in a wide range of colors, and CliqStudios countertops don’t require sealing. Daily cleaning and maintenance are necessary like any other countertop, but overall granite and quartz don’t need much time investment.

What is the trend in countertops for 2023?

Countertop trends in 2023 are all about the earthy and streamlined look. Most kitchen designs show quartz or granite countertops with minimal to mild patterns in light colors like white and cream with some gray or brown veining. To complement the minimalist, nature-inspired look, many homeowners find themselves leaning towards matching slab backsplashes.

Do you offer a warranty for your countertops?

CliqStudios offers a warranty on both granite and quartz countertops. For more information, please view our countertop warranty page.
