Veined Quartz as Alternative to Granite

When it comes to kitchen design, many people talk about the allure of granite countertops. However, their high maintenance requirements may cause you to seek out a different option like veined quartz.

What Is Veined Quartz?

Veined quartz looks similar to marble and lighter granite countertops since it has a light surface broken up by streaks of darker greys. However, veined quartz is made of a combination of solid rock and polymer resins. Another popular variant of quartz features a more homogenous appearance.

Control Over Form

One of the biggest advantages of veined quartz is the fact that you get more control over what your countertops will look like. This is a big thing, especially if you’re looking for countertops that match your kitchen cabinets. Looking for the right pattern of granite can take a while, while veined quartz can be customized.

Cost-Effectiveness

The average cost of granite countertops for a typical kitchen ranges somewhere between $2,000 and $4,000. On the other hand, veined quartz countertops can cost between $1,500 and $5,000. This means that, although average prices are equal, you get more budget-friendly (or high-end) options with veined quartz.

Importance of Professional Installation

Since working with veined quartz requires the right experience and tools, it’s very important to make sure that the people working on your countertops are certified professionals.
