Pental quartz/vicostone pricing?

8 years ago

Anyone have any idea? I've tried to do some research and only saw one thread that mentioned it. We just got a quote for our 45 sq foot kitchen saying we need 2 full slabs (which I'm pretty sure were marked up based on the one thread I saw) and that was before fabrication.

Hi Omafiets,

We had 36.5sf of Pental Quartz/Vicostone "Tobacco" counters installed in our kitchen remodel from one slab in October 2013 for total price $2,260. Price was including the stainless 30" undermount sink we provided to the fabricators.

We were told that Pental Quartz pricing was more reasonable than going with a Silestone Quartz or Zodiac (or our original choice of Cambria Quartz). When we went to the fabricators to lay out the template on our slab, there was quite a bit left over (but in smaller pieces). We have a galley kitchen with no corners, just straight runs. I hope this helps. :)

I got a quote for the Vicostone polished carrara, Statuario and the Borghini in Austin, TX. One fabricator I was considering doesn't mark up the slab cost at all so he forwarded me the email directly from the stone place. It listed the 3cm polished Carrara slab at $1425 and both the Statuario and Borghini at $2,050. Not sure if pricing is standard throughout the country or not, and remember that is unfabricated, just straight slab cost.

My photo shows Caesarstone Buttermilk, but it's the same color as Botticino. We had to pull the Buttermilk counters because of damage on install, and then we got Botticino instead. We've just never taken updated photos since getting Botticino because we are waiting to do our backsplash. The pattern is slightly different than Botticino, but as you know, it's very subtle and won't show in a photo. I thought the pic of the peninsula would give you the closest idea of how it will look on a vanity. We almost used our leftover pieces for a dark-stained cherry vanity, but we decided to do granite for something different. We really love our counters.

Anyone familar with PentalQuartz counter tops?
Q

I have them. They are from a company called Vicostone and Pental just puts their name on it. Pental is originally a granite company out of Seattle and Portland but they've expanded into other markets in the last three years. Their quartz used to be called Chroma but they changed it to Pentalquartz when they expanded. It's made in Vietnam with Breton technology, so they are the same as Cambria, Silestone, Caesarstone, etc.

Opinions of Vicostone quartz for vanities? Approx cost? Suggestions?

It's made in Thailand with licensed Breton technology, same as Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone and many others. It's not Chinese quartz made with cost-cutting mystery technology. I bought my Vicostone kitchen counter through Pental four years ago, which they rename as Pentalquartz. It performs well in the kitchen and will do well in the bathroom. I paid $800 per slab, and about the same cost to fabricate it. Pental sells half slabs for some of their colors. Read the use and care info so you know how to clean it. Never use abrasives like Comet which will dull the resins. I wouldn't set hot hair appliances directly on it.

I am SO glad I found this post. Thank you Amy for starting it! I love soapstone but for many reasons it's not practical for our kitchen. The cabinet shop showed me the PentalQuartz in Sorona in Honed and Polished and I immediately liked the honed. Thank you for all of your insights and experiences. We have chosen similar cabinet design/color so it's super helpful to see your finished kitchen! Thanks again!

The cost of my two Pentalquartz slabs was $1700 in 2012. With fabrication, the total was around $3000. We are 15 miles from the Portland warehouse, and $100 of the cost was for trucking the slabs to the 'burbs.

thanks everyone. :-D We are about 8m from the warehouse and went there in person over the weekend. The color we liked was in their lowest price range. I think I need to look for other fabricators!

(after writing that, I called another fabricator...gave me the exact price of the slabs-$850/ea vs $3300!!! WUT.)

I think the $3300 included fabrication.

katieleabrown86 Could you give me name of place in Austin you priced? I'm just now seeing information on Vicostone, haven't seen in person but looking for Austin area dealers. Did they happen to give you an installed sq ft price? Thanks!

melony62482, the slabs I viewed were at Triton Stone, 2515 Brockston Dr. As far as I know they don't do installation, so labor varies based on fabricator.

Ohhh ok. I'm sure I'll have to find a place for install as well. Thanks!

katieleabrown86 or melony62482 did you find good installers in Austin and what did you end up paying?

Hillary, I didn't end up using Vicostone, I used a different Quartz. I used J&H Granite for install. I've used them before and was very happy. Seams look great, no problems.

Hi guys! I'm in need of advice. We have about 100sf of counter/island space we need to cover. I'm looking for a marble look alike in quartz. We recently received a quote for spectrum quartz of $8200. That included 2 sink cutouts,ogee edging and installation. We cant afford that so we are looking for anyone who many have used another quartz brand, that has held up at a more affordable price. We live in Suffolk County, Long Island. Any info would be much appreciated.
