High-end brands of engineered countertops usually cost $100 to $150 per square foot or even higher. High-end brands usually use higher-quality quartz, have more sophisticated craftsmanship, and provide customized services, which are suitable for consumers who pursue high quality and unique designs.

if the countertop is in a high-frequency use environment, or some low-quality quartz countertops, it may need to be re-sealed every 1 to 2 years, especially if there is too much contact with oil stains, water stains or acidic substances.

A 3 cm thick quartz stone countertop is more sturdy and durable than thinner splashback materials. Since quartz is a composite material made by mixing natural quartz crystals with resin, it has high compressive strength and scratch resistance.

Contact with high-temperature objects and the use of chemicals in the kitchen environment are inevitable. Due to its good heat resistance, quartz stone countertops can withstand the direct placement of high-temperature cookware for a short time without being prone to thermal cracking or deformation.

A 3 cm quartz kitchen countertop is 50% thicker than a 2 cm quartz kitchen countertop, which means that more quartz particles and resin mixture are required per unit area. This increase in material directly affects the cost of the countertop, and in theory, it should make a 3 cm thick countertop more expensive than a 2 cm thick countertop.
