Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts
While Caesarstone countertops are heat-resistant, placing hot pots directly on them is not recommended. Extreme heat can cause thermal shock, potentially leading to cracks or discoloration. Always use trivets or heat pads to protect the surface and maintain its appearance and integrity. This precaution helps ensure the longevity of your Caesarstone countertop.
There are many countertop options to consider instead of granite. Other natural stones include marble and quartz, or you could consider laminate countertops that mimic the look of granite for less. When choosing an alternative to granite, keep the durability and the cost of installing countertops in mind.
In most cases, updating your kitchen and bathroom countertops will improve your property value, especially if your old countertops are chipped or stained or if you’re upgrading from a low-end material like laminate to a high-end material like granite. Updates to kitchens and bathrooms often have the most significant impact on a buyer’s opinion of your property and the overall appearance, so the price you’ll pay for new countertops can go a long way toward making your home more valuable. Be sure they’re professionally installed for the most dramatic improvement.
Recycled glass countertops are slightly cheaper than quartz countertops, though it depends on several factors. Recycled glass countertops cost between $65 and $140 per square foot, and quartz countertops cost$50 to $200 per square foot, though most projects come in at $70 to $100 per square foot. The final cost will come down to the quality of the material, local labor prices, and any customizations you require.
For most homeowners, quartz and quartzite countertops are similar in price. The average quartz countertop installation costs $80 to $220 per square foot, while quartz countertops cost $70 to $200 per square foot. Of course, there are outliers, like if you choose a highly customized, rare natural stone with high-end finishes.
