Quartz Countertops in Calgary

Quartz countertops in Calgary run $70–$130 per sq ft installed with us, so a typical 35–60 sq ft kitchen is $2,500–$7,800. The brand and the colour group set the price: a plain white or grey from any rack is the low end, a marble-look Calacatta from Caesarstone or Silestone is the top.

There’s no single winner, which is why we keep ten sample racks on the showroom floor. Caesarstone and Silestone lead on marble-look whites and the depth of their veining; Irah (Hari Stones), NTP, Vicostone and TCE give you the same looks at better value; Samsung Radianz and LG Hausys sit in between.

Bring a cabinet door and we’ll put the same colour from three brands beside it.

A hot mug, yes, every day. A pan straight off the burner, no. Quartz is about 90% ground stone bound in resin, and the resin can scorch or discolour above roughly 150 °C. Keep a trivet by the stove and the surface will look new for decades.

Nothing you’ll see right away. Quartz is non-porous and doesn’t etch the way marble does. Over years, though, acids and bleach dull the resin, so clean with warm water and a little dish soap or a pH-neutral stone cleaner, and skip the oven cleaner and Clorox wipes.

Three things: it doesn’t like direct high heat; it’s not rated for outdoor use, because UV yellows the resin; and on a big kitchen with a strongly veined pattern, the seam between slabs is harder to hide than on a plain colour. For everything else (stains, scratches, sealing) it’s the easiest surface we sell.

No. It’s non-porous, so there’s nothing to seal and nothing to reseal. That’s the main reason busy families choose it over granite or marble.

Usually a little more than entry-level granite and a little less than exotic granite. In the middle of the range they overlap, so compare quotes for the colours you actually like rather than the materials in general.
