Hey Everyone! I've recently upgraded by blog website, please follow along at Kitchensbysjk.com
Welcome to my blog where I talk about all things "kitchen remodel". I've been designing kitchens for 12 years and counting. I LOVE every aspect of a good kitchen design so follow me for all the tips. (As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no additional charge to you).
Countertop shopping can be overwhelming and in quarts there are so many BRANDS and each brand varies in price by color, it can be confusing on how to get the best bang for your buck. Let's start by just reviewing some of the best quality brand names of quartz. There are brands not listed that are probably considered a "chinese quartz" and inferior in quality.
- Silestone Quartz- (Silesetone quartz is my personal favorite!) They offer great colors and the price is reasonable, quality is GREAT!
- MSI Q Quartz- They're colors are not quite as good as Silestone, price is very reasonable and quality is good.
- Cambria Quartz- (Also my other favorite) Cambria's campaign is that they're made in the USA, also they have very fashion forward colors that other brands can't seem to compete with and the quality is top of the line.
- Caesarstone Quartz- I like to refer to this as the HGTV quartz because they name drop Caesarstone often on TV shows as if its an everyday household item but is actually DOUBLE in price to these other brands and the colors (in my humble opinion) are just so-so, nothing special.
Lets dive into the good stuff! Top 10 White Quartz Options
Silestone- Calacatta Gold- This is one of my go-to quartz options because it has a white base, grey streaks and hints of brown throughout making it the perfect candidate to tie in hardwood floors with white kitchen cabinets and grey paint. The price is right on this one too!
2. Silestone- Pearl Jasmine- Some may view Pearl Jasmine as more of a grey base countertop but its really white with a ton of grey/ taupe characteristics through out. This again is another warm white countertop that really makes a white kitchen feel less "sterile".
3. Cambria- Brittanica (Luxury Series)- OK this is for the modern kitchen vibe. It has BOLD dark grey/ silver streaks throughout and looks best when installed on an island or larger surface that allows the pattern repeat to run wild.
4. MSI Q Quartz- Calcutta Murano- This is Brittanica's cheaper sister :) They look very similar, but this MSI option may save you half the money. There's certainly a difference between the two when holding them side-by-side but if never side-by-side, you wouldn't be able to tell.
5. Cambria- Ironsbridge- this option has the most subtle design with its tonal wavy veins. Look closely to find hints or a soft grey mixed with white and off white.
6. Silestone- Statuario- This pattern has smaller veins in a web-like design but the white is a true bright white making it a great candidate for use with white cabinets.
7. Silestone- Lusso- I would describe this countertop as a warm white with hints of golden brown scattered throughout. I think this is a great color to tie in a light hardwood floor with the white cabinets.
8. Caesarstone- Calacatta Nuvo- if this option is in your budget, go for it! The design is timeless and versatile. If you’re a minimalist, you can let this countertop be the focal point with a subtle backsplash in the background. If you’re looking to make a bold statement with your backsplash, this countertop acts as a neutral companion.
9. Caesarstone- White Attica- I think this is the “busiest” design that I’m recommending for white quartz. I prefer this design for a vanity countertop or small desk. But I don’t suggest it for a large space like a kitchen.
10. Silestone- Classic Calacatta- This design can go one of two ways; very modern or very vintage! I love the boldness of the pattern, perfect for a large island. Its colors are true to white & grey, there's no warm grey or off white about it.
Consider the e x t r a s-- Two features that will cost you but might be worth it depending on your design: waterfall edge & full height backsplash.
That wraps up my Top Ten favorite white quartz countertops! If you’re looking for the right cleaning product to keep your new countertops shiny & polished, try Granite Gold! #ad There are two versions; a daily cleaner and also a sealer. They are different products! The sealer should be used 1-2 times a year to preserve the factory seal on your countertop. The cleaner just keeps it clean on a daily basis (but does not disinfect).
