Is Granite More Expensive Than Silestone

Whether it is a kitchen remodel bathroom remodel or any other home improvement project granite and quartz are two of the top choices on the market.

Is granite more expensive than silestone.

Have ordered silestone quasar for my kitchen island. Granite is a natural stone that comes in many different colors and styles. Clearance grade granite usually has less veining and plainer colors but often still very beautiful. Prices vary a lot depending on where you live but you will always be able to find granite that costs less than quartz per square foot.

Silestone is definitely not just any regular quartz countertop but it is more than that. Granite is extremely durable. Thicker materials cost more. It creates a great understated look.

Sometimes quartz is more expensive due to the treatments it receives during manufacturing. Quartz is made only in slabs. While 2cm counters are used in bathrooms 3cm materials are preferred for the kitchen utility areas and anywhere heavy objects will be placed. Granite tile costs are 40 to 70 less than slabs.

Aside from the colors that it prides itself in silestone offers the strongest warranty among its counterparts at 25 years limited possessing transferability and the absence of pro rata limitations. So we take back what we previously said. As evidenced in the table granite is generally cheaper than silestone. In general quartz is the more expensive material although some overlap in pricing exists.

I have a neighbour using silestone to cover his front garden including the path. For both materials counters range from about 2cm to about 1 3cm. It will cost me 10k to repair. Silestone is not granite.

Granite can be more expensive than quartz at times based on the availability of a color and pattern. Granite will very likely cost you more than silestone depending on the grade of material you choose but you could consider closeout or clearance grades if you need lower prices. Yes you read that correctly. Silestone is more expensive.
