Design Dilemma Polls Kitchens

Does anyone have Hanstone Montauk installed?

3 years ago

We've narrowed our quartz choices down to Hanstone Montauk or Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo. I'd love to see a slab of the Hanstone, but I won't be able to get to their showroom due to Covid-19 restrictions. If anyone has this installed in their kitchen, I would really appreciate seeing photos. Thanks! Anybody use Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo? Which of the two would work better with white cabinets painted BM White Dove and light wood toned cabinets for the kitchen island? The top photo is with the Hanstone Montauk sample and the bottom photo is with the Caesarstone Calacatt Nuvo sample. The quartz will be run up the back by the stove and the tile pictured below will be the backsplash in the rest of the kitchen. The island and pantry will be in the wood tone, while kitchen perimeter cabinets will be white. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

what brand/color is your cabinet?

the bright white of the montauk is more crisp and bright and the nuvo is softer and warmer. theyre both really pretty! nuvo blends better with your backsplash tile and montauk makes it pop!

IMO all of the plastic quartz counters that are trying to mimic real marble are going to be one of those items that will scream dated very soon. Why not look at real stone so much better for counters and so much more interesting too. I love white granites and honestly not more expensive than fake and just better. As for the exact one you need to go shopping and see what is out there . There is no way for a monitor to help choose color of anything and I will suggest before choosing the counter you make sure all your lighting is LED and I like 4000K but you could do 3500K but no less or those cabinets will look yellow.In you pic the cabinets look yellow BTW. I would wait until the cabinets are installed or at least those smaple in the kitchen where the lighting is in

Hanstone Montauk Quartz Price?
Q

hsh, I must add, the main reason our price above is under $100 SF is because our fabricator makes deals with manufacturers and STOCKS slabs at their facility. Meaning, they buy in bulk. They stock about 50 different colors from various quartz manufacturers. Other NON-STOCK colors are priced "Slab + Fab"...meaning...you must pay for the entire slabs including all the waste (cut off). Which is why 99% of my clients pick a stock material to keep the cost down.

They both look fine but it is so hard to tell from a single sample in a photo. Do you have your lights on? Your lighting will impact the undertones in the tile and counter as well. I would also look at handmade style tiles. They have subtle color variation and texture as well. If you find one with the right colors, they can help visually tie the cabinets and counter.
