In 2025, the average cost of a quartz stone countertop is approximately between $50 and $150 per square foot. The cost of a quartz stone countertop depends mainly on its quality level. The higher the quality of the quartz, the higher the price, the more durable it is, and the more sophisticated the design.

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.

In environments that are fully exposed to sunlight, such as unshaded patios or open-air kitchens, quartz may not be the best choice. Although quartz with added UV stabilizers has a certain degree of UV resistance, long-term exposure may still cause color changes and resin aging.

If your kitchen design tends to be modern, then a simple backsplash, such as glass or metal, may be a good choice. If you prefer traditional or country style, classic tile or natural stone backsplashes are more harmonious with quartz stone countertops.
