quartzite countertop suggestions

12 days ago

Any thoughts on the counter top I should go with? First photo is cabinet color, flooring, cabinet hardware, and quartz option 1. My appliances are matte white GE cafe.

Option 1 - White regalo quartz from Pompeii quartz

Photo 2 is option 2 - Perlato quartzite

Photo 3 is quartzite - Perla venato

Sort by:Oldest

Be careful with your choices and the white appliances, as many of them can read cold/blue, specially if you pair them with warm tones.

I would be weary of the blue cabinets and pink-ish floors reading like a pink and blue baby nursery. Have you seen either of the colors in a full size installation?

I'm loving the Perla Venato! However, it would be great to see it with a sample cabinet door and a sample of your flooring next to the slab. (From what I can see, it looks like they'd all look great together; but I'm not a designer.) Also, I'd want to test the slab. This article might help.

I'm no expert, but there are some useful threads on quartzite - see this one, for example: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/countertop-geology-part-5-marble-quartzite-and-other-favorites-dsvw-vd~2438427?n=165 One thing I do know is that stone shops often mislabel softer stones as quartzite, so you want to be sure what you have is actually a true quartzite, and not something like Super White, which is often called a quartzite but isn't.

In my area, $79 a sq foot is on the very lowest side of what I see in Atlanta (that requires going outside the city a bit - nowhere inside the metro area has prices that low, I don't think anyway). Perhaps b/c you are getting such a small amount and it is coming from a remnant? I agree with other poster's comments though - pick one or the other; don't mix. It will look like you didn't have enough money to put the quartzite everywhere. If you want to mix and match something, have the cabinets in the island be a different color, or wood and the perimeter white or cream (not sure what you are going for so just throwing out ideas).

Has anyone seen Mont Blanc quartzite used in a kitchen? I saw some slabs and they were quite lovely, but the veins were a bit more linear than I would like. (Yes, I am extremely fussy!) Taj Mahal quartzite varies immensely in tome and colour. It is difficult to find a very light one with delicate markings The thing that concern's me about marble in a kitchen vs in a bathroom, is that unless some people have strange habits, acidic liquids such as lemon, vinegar, tomato sauce, pickles or red wine usually don't end up on bathroom counter tops, but any of those will etch marble very quickly.

Where to cut and seam my quartzite counter top? (fabrication question)

Because of the pattern difference on that stone I don't see an angle cut working too easily. It might require another slab. I'd want to approve the layout and how it looked after fabrication at the shop before delivery/install. No sense bringing it out if it isn't right. Non-negotiable for me. I'd settle the approval process before awarding the contract.

Here are the cabinets installed next to flooring and each quartzite. The other photo had the quartz with the floor and cabinet sample.
