Q: Is quartzite more expensive than granite?

• <div><p>Quartzite is more expensive than granite, largely because of its rarity. Granite is naturally more common. A granite slab generally costs $40 to $60 per square foot (excluding super-rare types), while quartzite slabs cost anywhere from $50 to $150 per square foot. </p><p>With both materials, it&rsquo;s usually more affordable to purchase stones that are readily available in your location. You may need to import other stones, which come at a higher cost.</p></div>

Q: What countertops are heatproof?

• <div><p>Fortunately, there are many types of heatproof countertops. Granite, quartzite, concrete, and stainless steel are all fiery contenders. These surfaces work best in busy kitchens where hot pots, pans, and baking sheets are part of the daily routine. Plus, their durability means you get a long-lasting work surface that won&rsquo;t flinch at a bit of heat or heavy use. However, many stone and concrete counters require a sealer, which is typically not heatproof.</p></div>

Q: Which countertop edge is best for small kitchens?

• <div><p>Small kitchens benefit from simple, blunt countertop edges, as complicated edges can create visual clutter and be more of a hazard if you bump into them. Eased edges are a top pick for small kitchens because they are simple, do not jut out, and do not take up additional space. Bullnose edge countertops are also popular because of their rounded design; they are elegantly simple and will not be sharp when you bump against them. Single-beveled edges are also a good choice, as they look a little more upscale but still have rounded edges for safety and simplicity.</p></div>

Q: How much do granite kitchen countertops cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-granite-countertops-cost.htm">Installing granite kitchen countertops costs</a> about <b>$3,250</b>, ranging from <b>$2,000 to $4,000</b>, depending on the quantity and quality of the granite, use of granite tile or granite slabs, the type of granite, and its color and texture. Varieties of granite include:</p><ul><li><p>Alaska white: $35 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Ubatuba: $30&ndash;$60 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Silver cloud: $35&ndash;$40 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Absolute black: $45&ndash;$60 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Black galaxy: $50&ndash;$70 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Blue Louise: $70&ndash;$100 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Crema Bordeaux: $80 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Solarius: $60 per square foot</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you use Clorox® wipes on quartz?

• <div><p>Clorox wipes contain bleach, which is unsafe for use on quartz countertops. When used over time, the bleach will damage the countertop surface and cause it to become discolored or damaged. Instead of Clorox wipes, use a pH-neutral multipurpose solution and clean the surface gently using a soft microfiber cloth.</p></div>

Stone Countertops questions, answered by experts

Quartzite is more expensive than granite, largely because of its rarity. Granite is naturally more common. A granite slab generally costs $40 to $60 per square foot (excluding super-rare types), while quartzite slabs cost anywhere from $50 to $150 per square foot.

With both materials, it’s usually more affordable to purchase stones that are readily available in your location. You may need to import other stones, which come at a higher cost.

Fortunately, there are many types of heatproof countertops. Granite, quartzite, concrete, and stainless steel are all fiery contenders.
