When it comes to quartz countertops, the pros far outweigh the cons. Still, it’s important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of quartz surfaces before you buy. Let’s start with the benefits.
Quartz countertops have a modern, luxurious, and uniform appearance. Natural stone coloring and veining vary from slab to slab, while Viatera utilizes best-in-class quartz manufacturing technology to create products with consistent quality, performance and aesthetics time after time. Quartz counters come in various colors and aren’t limited to what can be found in nature.
Quartz counters are durable and more resistant to scratches, chips and cracks than other surfaces.. Quartz also resists water damage, stains, mold, and bacteria, making it an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and professional environments.
With natural stone countertops like marble and granite, you must use special cleaners and regularly apply a sealant. Quartz countertops never require sealing and can be easily cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner.
Quartz can be more expensive than other countertops but is generally cheaper than natural stone and other luxury options. It does require professional installation and can discolor when exposed to high temperatures and extensive heat for long periods.

Laminate countertops can simulate any material since the image layer just below the wear layer is essentially a high-definition photograph. Laminate countertops are usually grouped in one of four style categories: solids or colors, stones, patterns, and woodgrains.
Quartz comes in a wide range of beautiful colors, patterns, and tones. From solid or monochromatic hues to bold patterns with intricate movement and veining, from vibrant blues, greens, and golds to those with jewel-like shimmer and sparkle, quartz designs work well for many interior styles. Many popular quartz designs even reflect the look of nature with neutral or earth tones.
The very first step in the process of purchasing countertops is your consultation with your Sales & Design Associate! Here at The Finished Collective, we offer free in-person consultations. These initial consultations help get the process started on your new project!
There's no one countertop that's ideal for every home, so the best material for your kitchen will depend on several factors: color, overall appearance, durability, stain- and scratch-resistance, and of course, price
Rough measurements of your countertop space is the first step in starting the process. We can now start the estimate / proposal with this key piece of information. Then coordinated with the material we can give you a quote and then you can make a decision ..
In order to cut the slab you’ve selected to the correct size for your countertops, first, we have to create a template. We do this by sending one of our skilled installers to measure by hand and create a physical template of the space. We don’t use digital imaging or laser equipment because we prefer the artisan way. The countertop template process consists of several steps before your countertops are fabricated and ready to install. First, a skilled technician will come to the job site to take measurements. After all of the measurements are taken and any additional factors are documented, the technician will measure the surface a second time to ensure accurate measurements. The definition of measure twice, cut once!
We take the template of your countertop and lay it directly onto the stone to determine how the stone will look once cut and shaped. You can allow us to make those determinations, but if you want a certain part of the stone, movement, or color to be featured in a certain spot on your countertop, we will work with you to make that happen. The information is saved in the system and is then sent wirelessly to the fabrication facility. Upon receiving the data, the fabricator will set up the slab and lay out the template on the stone's surface. Finally, the stone is cut to the specific measurements required and then prepared for delivery to your job site ready to be installed. The typical turnaround time for the entire process, from measuring to fabrication, to delivery takes anywhere from 7 to 10 days.
While all this is going on, we can perform tear out of your old countertops for you. Rather than installing on top of your existing countertops, which can interfere with the look and the function of your countertops, we will remove and dispose of your old countertops for you Once your new countertop is fabricated and your old countertop (if you had an old countertop) is removed, we bring your new countertops and install them, ensuring that everything fits to plan and meets your approval.
