Help - which white marble effect quartz worktop to choose???
Comments (14)agree with comment above - call Cosentino and they can direct you either to a local kitchen showroom with worktop installed in a colour you are considering or they can tell you where you can view the slabs. i live in Ireland and visited the Cosentino warehouse in Dublin to view slabs - it certainly affected our decision making. we went for lagoon and its great - no problem with staining...See MoreHelp - stain on white quartz!
Comments (7)A paste of water and baking soda got rid of most of a rust stain from a can on our new quartz! Had to leave it sitting on it for a few hours though....See MoreUnistone quartz worktop
Comments (1)Matte as in honed is less stain resistant in any brand. Opt for a leather, velvet* or satin finish. And use a protector on a regular basis. I'm not familiar with Unistone nor Brachot. (* when I google veluto is says velvet, which might be allright)...See MoreAre all Quartz worktops made equal?
Comments (4)No, not all quartzes are made equal. There can be a big difference in the overall quality, the resins used and the amount of "stone" content. When it comes to Carrara styles, thee "realism" of Silestone (our "go to") & Caesarstone is generally much better and the whites whiter. Backup support is also much better. As to the recommendation of any fabricator - at the end of the day, their margin is in the labour & machining costs and they will protect that and view the "slab" cost as just that - a cost. They will protect their margin by "down-selling" you to a lower grade product to keep the overall sale. At the end of the day it is, of course, your choice - do you save £1000 today and opt for the cheaper, lower quality product or view it as a 20 year investment of just £50 a year. If it is your "forever" home, go quality. If you only intend to be there a year or two and just want the look, take the saving. As for replacing the granite - usually straightforward, only slight risk if there are tiles down to the granite and awkward "pinch" points but I've yet to see any major issues arising....See Moreminnie101
