What affects the cost of a quartz countertop?

Quartz slabs differ by brand, colour, pattern and thickness. Bold, highly designed patterns and specialty finishes generally cost more than simple solid colours. Thickness, commonly 2 cm or 3 cm, also matters.

Browse the full range in our countertop collections, and note the codes of a few colours so quotes are comparable.

Price scales with the area of stone, but not only the visible area: slabs are cut from a fixed size, so awkward shapes, long islands and pattern matching can use more material than the square footage suggests. Sharing your layout early helps an estimator plan efficiently.

See edge profiles, waterfall islands and overhangs for how these choices look.

• Decorative edge profiles and built-up edges take more fabrication time.
• Waterfall sides use extra stone and precise pattern matching.
• Sink and cooktop cut-outs, and how the sink is mounted, add work.
• Seams are placed for strength and appearance, and the number depends on your layout.

Removal of existing countertops, access (stairs, condo elevators), backsplash and plumbing connections can change the scope. Ask what is and isn’t included so you can compare quotes fairly.

Then read how to prepare for your template so the project runs smoothly once you’ve chosen.

• Same stone, thickness and edge in each quote?
• Measuring, fabrication, delivery and installation all included?
• Removal of old countertops and disposal included?
• Sink and cooktop cut-outs included?
