Need help for Countertop, should I choose Granite or Quartz?
Comments (28)portfolla...good photo choices, I especially like the bottom one. You're on a good track with white quartz. Granite is beautiful and the natural veining would easily compliment your cabinets, but overall, white quartz is a great choice in terms of what you're looking for on various levels. As far as cooking splashes, hmmmm...might need to rethink the stone! It's not the easiest of materials to keep clean because of its porous, textured surface that captures and holds grease and stains. If you're a passionate cook and you already know your back splash is going to be subjected to some heavy duty cooking, you'll need to steer away from natural stone, stacked tile or any tile with rough surfaces. You should probably look into ceramic, porcelain or glass tiles. They're the "spaghetti sauce splash" group -- stain resistant and easy to clean. Will post some photos for you....

Comments (2)i have had silestone in my kitchen in the creama color for many years and i love it., no stains, no problems. Im putting the stellar snow in a new timberframe ski house with white tile backsplash, maple cabinets and a slate floor. I love the flecks of grey and sparkle! lve never heard anything negative about silestone. Good luck with your project....See MorePLEASE...help in choosing granite/ quartz countertops and backsplash
Comments (23)Thank you all for your help. I am concerned that with all the white/off white cabinets and adding light counters...too much? But then again I have darker wood floors. I was first going to use espresso Caesar stone but with all the light in my kitchen the tops would probably need constant dusting and every imperfection will show. I love the quartz due to its resilience. Any experience with quartzite? Will pick up a few of the suggested quartz samples and see how they look with the cabinets and floors. Cabinets are in and are stunning …ready for the counters and really this has been my toughest decision. Any more thoughts would be welcome....See MoreHelp me choose my quartz countertop
Comments (31)Hi Lee, do you mean the counter top edge? That is just the regular "eased" edge (I think some places call it "pencil" edge). It's about the simplest edge they make. :) I think Silver Lake sounds like a good choice for you if you've got dark cabinets. I do think contrast is the way to go....See MoreKaty Richard
