Reflect on how you use your kitchen or bathroom. If you’re a cooking enthusiast, a durable, stain-resistant quartz countertop might be your best bet. For bathrooms, opt for quartz that stands up to water and stains. Keep these specifics in mind:

  • Durability: In bustling kitchens, go for a quartz countertop that can handle daily hustle and bustle.

  • Stain Resistance: In spill-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms, prioritize stain-resistant quartz.

Budget Considerations

When budgeting for quartz countertops, it's essential to account for the varying price ranges and include installation costs. To get the best value, compare prices from different suppliers.
