Granite quote - 2 cm vs. 3 cm granite
Comments (30)We have somewhere around 140 sf of granite in the kitchen; big kitchen with big island plus a buffet separating kitchen and family room. So the $14k price from the second place is about $100/sf (for both material and install). This is a quote for the exact type of granite we chose - we went to yards to look at various slabs and chose the Blue Eyes as the one we liked the look of best. Then our GC sent out the dimensions of our requirements to the two shops for quotes for our specific requirements. From what I have seen/read the Blue Eyes is on the expensive side, it reads more as a gray with blue highlights than blue, but it does have the blue which I guess adds to the expense. But DH is in love with it... The Costa Esmerelda slabs are cheaper - $8500 installed for 4 slabs. I think we're about 110 sf there (quote includes slab granite for shower walls in addition to counter and tub) so about $77 per square foot. I think what we've chosen is on the more expensive side for granite; funny how it seems to work out that way. Original allowances from our contractor were $10k for kitchen and $4k for bath, so we're over that (bath one was for granite countertop and tile shower, but I'm really leaning towards the granite for both and no grout!)...See MoreConsidering 2cm Silestone with laminated edge to 4cm
Comments (1)4cm is a good look. It will look good if done by a competent fabricator, one whom you should choose carefully. You get what you pay for. You can always ask them to produce a small mock up....See More2cm / 3 cm Silestone
Comments (1)I've been routinely quoted a 20/30% price difference between 2cm and 3cm quartz, with basic fabrication. If you think about it, you have 50% more quartz ... The price difference was enough to pay for a mitered edge (=looking thicker than 3cm) for countertops intalled against a wall (not on an island, because there are more edges)....See More2cm vs. 3cm countertops
Comments (12)I put my 3cm soapstone on top of a 5/8" plywood sub top to gain a little added height to my counters. I then ran a 3/8"x3/4" base shoe under the lip to hide the plywood edge... edit oops, talk about the "lived in kitchen", I just noticed the cap of the dish soap sticking out of the sink, ha!
