To make a kitchen look expensive, consider deep, sophisticated colors like charcoal gray, deep emerald green, or even black for countertops. High-contrast pairings, such as white cabinets with a dark, luxurious countertop, also create a high-end feel. Uniform, solid colors in materials like solid surface can contribute to a sleek, modern, and expensive look.
Both quartz and granite are excellent choices for Arizona kitchens. Quartz is an engineered product, making it non-porous and highly resistant to stains and heat, requiring minimal maintenance. Granite is a natural stone, offering unique patterns, but it needs to be sealed regularly to prevent staining. The best choice depends on your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.
The main disadvantage of granite countertops is their porosity. If not properly sealed, they can absorb liquids and become stained. Granite also requires periodic resealing, usually every one to three years, to maintain its protective qualities. While durable, it can be susceptible to chipping or cracking from heavy impacts.
What is often called 'fake granite' is typically quartz. Quartz countertops are manufactured by combining natural quartz crystals with resins and pigments. This process allows for a wide variety of consistent colors and patterns, some designed to mimic natural stone. Solid surface and laminate are other options that can emulate granite's look.
The price for a 10 ft piece of granite countertop varies significantly. Factors include the specific type of granite, its rarity, edge detailing, and any necessary fabrication. Installation costs are also a separate consideration. For an accurate price specific to your Arizona project, we provide a free phone quote.
Solid surface countertops are ideal for Arizona homes because they are non-porous, hygienic, and very easy to clean. They can be fabricated with seamless joints, offering a sleek look and preventing moisture from seeping in.
