Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts
While no countertop material is truly “heatproof,” granite countertops are extremely resistant to high temperatures. Some types of granite can withstand temperatures up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. However, we don’t recommend placing hot pots and pans directly on granite countertops. Even if it doesn’t scar the granite, it may damage the sealant.
The angle at which you cut countertops depends on the material, your intended outcome, and the location of the cut. For example, rather than cutting a straight 90-degree angle for internal corners, cut edges at a 45-degree angle to give a clean, professional look. For outside edges, most homeowners want squared-off sides, so 90-degree angles can make the most sense there. Because you want to get angles exactly right to minimize seams and eliminate the need for patching, be sure to measure several times before cutting and use the right equipment to get sharp, accurate angles.
When deciding whether quartz or granite is better for your countertops, consider your budget, lifestyle, and aesthetic preference. Many people prefer quartz because it comes in more aesthetic varieties and is nonporous, making it easier to clean, more bacteria-resistant, and lower maintenance. However, granite is sometimes preferable because it is more heat-resistant and less expensive.
The question of which material is better comes down to personal preference. Formica is a popular brand of laminate countertops known for its durability and affordability. Due to its brand recognition, Formica is slightly more expensive than generic laminate countertops, but with that brand name comes a certain standard of quality.
Installing new kitchen countertops costs$1,850 to $4,450, with an average price of $3,140. Some materials, like marble and granite, are more expensive than others. Additionally, the size of the countertop impacts the overall price. Labor accounts for 10% to 20% of the overall project cost. Add-ons, like edging and corner treatments, also increase the cost.
