Quartz Countertop Brand Comparison

If you’re shopping for quartz countertops, you have a lot to consider. While most quartz countertop brands will offer strength and impact-tested materials as well as stain, scratch, and heat resistant surfaces, they often differ in the styles and special features that make each countertop truly unique. That’s why we created this quartz countertop brand comparison of some of the top brands in the industry, to help you decide which quartz countertop brand is right for you. 

Silestone Quartz Countertops

Silestone created their own engineered product using a unique combination of natural quartz and other raw materials that boost strength and resistance. Silestone quartz has many similarities to natural stone. The product is available in a range of realistic textures and over 90 colors. You can choose from natural marbled, granulate, or metallic styles; polished, suede, raw, or volcano textures; and hues of black, brown, white, grey, cream, or gold to create a myriad of beautiful countertop options. Beyond appearance, Silestone quartz  countertops have a non-porous surface that won’t stain — even from spills of coffee, oil, vinegar, or wine. All Silestone products are also impact resistant and backed by a 25 year warranty.

Silestone quartz countertops are perfect for kitchen and bath applications. To try out their available styles, you can use their online visualizer or 3D kitchen countertop modeling tool.

Corian Quartz Countertops

Formerly known as Zodiaq Quartz, this quartz countertop brand uses pure quartz crystals that shine like diamond flecks to create pieces that are as uniquely stunning as they are functional and durable. Corian designs their quartz countertops to be very low maintenance. Without any sealing, polishing, waxing, or reconditioning required, all you need to keep them clean and sparkling is soap and water. 

The strong engineered surface is reinforced with hard quartz crystals that give the countertop durability against everyday minor scratches, nicks, and other daily wear and tear. Quartz countertops’ non porous construction leaves nowhere for bacteria and mold to grow, so you have a hygienic surface for cooking, eating, and living. Corian products are covered by a 10-year transferable limited warranty.

Corian quartz countertops come in a 2cm or 3cm width. A larger width is more popular in midwest kitchens, where the smaller is common for bathroom vanities. Standard slabs are 63 x 200 inches. When it comes to style, Corian offers a range of light to dark hues with up to 48 different color and pattern options. They also have bookmatching as an additional feature, which uses mirrored designs in seams of countertops or vertical wall corners to create a unique effect. Corian surfaces can also be customized with a variety of edge styles

ColorQuartz Countertops

These countertops are compacted under intense pressure to create a non-porous, naturally antibacterial surface.
