Which is better: quartz or Silestone?

• <div><p>Silestone® is a brand of quartz countertops; one isn’t necessarily better, but they have their differences. Silestone® costs slightly more than the average quartz countertop because you’re paying for the brand name and unique features. For example, Silestone® is often more sustainable than regular quartz because you can purchase varieties made with recycled materials. It also has antibacterial properties and design options some homeowners prefer. Plus, you can use it across your whole kitchen rather than solely for countertops.</p></div>

Is bar or counter height better for resale?

• <div><p>Most homebuyers value standard counter height (34–36 inches) over bar height (40–42 inches).</p></div>

What looks like quartz but is cheaper?

• <div><p>Corian® is a popular countertop alternative to quartz. Created from an acrylic resin and natural minerals, Corian® resembles quartz and offers some similar benefits, but it comes at a cheaper price. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-corian-countertops-cost.htm">Corian® countertops cost</a> an average of <b>$26 to $65 per square foot</b>, which is less than half of what quartz countertops usually cost. The downside is that Corian® isn’t as durable as quartz, particularly regarding its resistance to scratches and high temperatures.</p></div>

Do quartz countertops increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, installing new quartz countertops can increase your home’s value. Updating your counters with a durable material like quartz that will last decades is a great investment. </p></div>
