Silestone quartz counter price, what do you think?
Hi everyone. I received a quote for my kitchen for the countertops and want to know if this seems right. I know quartz is expensive so maybe it's not bad, I don't know. Here's what they have:
2 - 3cm silestone pulsar suede or polished 2 $2,731/each = 5,462
1 87 sq. ft. stone labor 3 cm 1 $34/sq. ft = 2,958
1 cutouts large undercount stone 1 $175 each (this was for undermount sink but was later changed to cut out for a farm sink so don't know that cost will be same now)
1 cutout cooktop stone 1 $75 each
subtotal = 8,670
tax = 457.44
non-taxable subtotal = 3,208.00
Grand total = $9,127.44
At first the fabricator said I needed 2 slabs but now they think I might need 3 slabs. So this quote may very well increase by $2,731 if I need 3 slabs.
It doesn't mention drilling holes for the faucet, etc., but there will be 5 holes there.
Right there above the sink, it doesn't show it, but there will be a quartz ledge there, about 54' x 11"
Installers, fabricators, does it look like I'll need 2 or 3 slabs? Is the price on target for Silestone pulsar?
Thanks.

Quartz countertop - MSI vs Silestone
Comments (6)Sandy, We are glad to hear you are considering Silestone in your project. We wanted to let you know that Silestone Quartz is manufactured in Spain, using Brenton technology. Silestone is a very durable product, both stain and scratch resistant. Also, the use of Microban in Silestone was discontinued in 2007. If you have any other questions, let us know! We are happy to help. Additionally, here is a great photo of Lyra used in a kitchen, hope it helps you in making your decision....See MoreCaesarstone vs Silestone vs Cambria vs Zodiaq quartz countertop?
Comments (43)We have polished Organic White countertops. We also get subtle metal marks that won't come out. These counters are just a few months old. No one else would notice it, but I certainly do. I would recommend getting a sample of the quartz you are considering and testing it yourself. Maybe we're just unlucky? Although, the number of websites that say "quartz doesn't stain" seem to be equalled by the number of websites that say "here's how to get stains out of your quartz". We haven't tried Magic Eraser and it is somewhat discouraged since it is abrasive, but we may try that next....See MoreQuartz Countertop damaged during install should I pay full price?
Comments (22)OK, NEW PROBLEM. I don't know why I did not mention this before. Every time we touch the countertops the oil from our hands turns the countertop dark and it will not go away with just soap and water. It will only go away with "Rejuvenate" Kitchen & Bath Countertop Polish. My husband talked to 3 different people at HomeDepot who said that there is something very wrong with the Silestone product if it does that! It must have happened at the factory & was sold as "Seconds". They said the contractor must have purchased the product knowing this & should have told us before selling it to us!!! Some people don't mind this and will purchase it anyway, but must be informed in advance. Have any of you ever heard of this or had experince with this before? I am so frustrated, I don't know what to do. They are installing the backsplash as I type this. It looks OK so far. Wish me luck with it....See MoreAnyone have Silestone Royal Reef or Desert Silver quartz counter tops?
Comments (22)This is the only post I could find regarding Royal Reef Quartz. Do you think Royal Reef would go nicely with white cabinets (black hardware) and white subway tile. Our island is a color called Hale Navy. We have Maple light colored flooring. Most of our accents (stools, pendants) are a matte black and stainless. I’m worried the Royal will look too beige. The woman helping us with the quartz said the RR wouldn’t look beige that it would take on the color of the navy and white. I’m not convinced .... any advice? BTW your kitchen is beautiful! Thank you...See MoreBriana Johnson

7 years agoI looked the quartz up online and could not quite tell from the pics, but it seemed to me that some care may be necessary to get a good seam . It doesn't have a large pattern, but the colors do swirl around and make a larger pattern. Will they need more material to make a good seam? It is a lovely choice.
pic of slab (sorry for the blur) ?
