Factors That Influence The Price
Before ordering these materials for your kitchen and bathroom countertops, homeowners should remember that several factors shape the price of the quartz slab.
Kitchen Size
The most obvious factor of price-determination would be the size of the kitchen, which we mentioned earlier – small, medium or large kitchens.
Corners & Edging
Quartz worktops usually come with square corners. However, if the owner plans on making them curved, this is an another £15 per corner.
Colours
Naturally, uncommon colours, patterns or styles will cost you more. However, this is mainly determined by the volume produced and what’s available.
Island
Although it’s not a must, a majority of new homeowners enjoy the luxury of having extra workspace by installing an island which will add to the overall cost of the quartz needed. Bear in mind that if you want side panels (waterfall) the cost will increase further.
Worktop Thickness
Of course, the thickness of your worktops will significantly alter the price. For example, 30mm worktops can increase the price by 30% when compared to 20mm.
Un-polished Cutouts
Homeowners should bear in mind that the manufacturer charges £180 per unpolished, and £190 for polished cut-outs.
Splashbacks / Wall Panels
Lastly, we have the splashbacks. They serve the purpose by covering the space between the worktop and the wall to give your kitchen an extra glam look.
Most Popular Quartz Worktop Colours
Quartz vs. Granite Worktops Price
Another popular option that homeowners consider is granite.
Since different grades characterise this stone, the price range can vary a fair bit. For example, you can come across a price of £120/m²+ and also see the same option priced at £500/m²+.
The price range of this material also depends on the colours, thickness, and edge treatment.
Quartz vs. Marble Worktops Price
Before you select material type, let’s take a minute to mention quartz’s competitor: Marble worktops.
For homeowners on a tighter budget, it’s comforting to know that marble can be an expensive stone and, therefore, a more expensive option in most scenarios if you’re looking to install it in your kitchen.
If you’re going with marble, and it’s not a small kitchen you’re re-doing, 30 square feet (2.79 SqM) of marble worktops could cost you up to £1,500.
The only difference between this stone and quartz is that the total cost for quartz is often higher due to the fabrication and installation process; the stone itself is often cheaper.
