I can't see why anyone would choose garnite countertops over quartz. I guess they are actually called engineered quartz but who cares really. This surface seems way superior to me when it comes to counters, especially in the kitchen.
I too am sold on quartz countertops, I wondered if anyone has any opinion whether DuPont, Zodiac, or Silestone are better than any other.
Drew,
Some people like granite and that is fine. But I do agree the quartz countertops that have became available in the last couple of years are great. A real pro is that although they cost roughly the same as natural stone you don't have all the maintenance costs and efforts.
No matter what room you plan to entertain guests in, it seems that everyone ends up in the kitchen. Kitchens are the community center of your home where people meet, eat and socialize. Kitchens are one of the most used rooms in a home, which is why it is crucial for kitchens to be visually appealing, functional and enjoyable.
However, if you're like most homeowners, busy schedules and tight budgets keep providing excuses to put off updating your kitchen. Here are some quick and inexpensive solutions to make updating your kitchen a simple day or weekend project this summer from celebrity designer Vern Yip, from TLC's "Trading Spaces."

We are planning our kitchen remodel and think we are going to go with granite countertops, do we need to figure on putting a plywood sub counter down first?

Does anyone have any opinions on if I am going to be sorry I didn't go to the extra expense in my kitchen and just do solid concrete instead of concrete countertop tiles?

I hate the expense but I am thinking it probably is worth every penny to have corian counters in my kitchen. I haven't yet found another solid surface that impresses me as much. Any thoughts?

Maybe I am missing something but to me these would not be a wise remodeling choice, especially in the kitchen. They stain easy and require so much care that I would think it would be a bad decision. Can anyone fill me in on why it is a good choice for the kitchen?
