Top Countertop Choices Tested For Durability

- Kitchen countertops can cost thousands of dollars. So you want them to last for many years. There are so many choices: quartz, granite, solid surface, recycled glass. And a new ultracompact material, Dekton, sold at Home Depot and kitchen-design stores.
They "forgot" to mention that quartz can't take the heat like granite.
I have recently done project of 5 star resort in south Africa and there we have put granite and quartz material all over but client keep complaining about dull polish on quartz and after so many complain now we have remove quartz slabs from all kitchen that's cost us too high so its better to use natural stones only marble or granite, after all natural is way better.
This test is very uninformitive. It doesn't mention anything other than 3 types of counter tops. What about quartzite, butcher block, solid surface, concrete, laminate, porcelain, marble, soapstone, etc... In addition, resins in quartz burn at 300 degrees fahrenheit, making it far less heat resistant than natural stone. In addition, Dekton is an ultracompact surface meant to be tougher than natural stone and quartz. Something is wrong with that.
Pelo visto nada é melhor do que vem direto da natureza .
Boa reportagem !
Great video!! Thanks for sharing the informative with us. This was actually pretty interesting. It will definitely help many to choose the right countertop material. Though for all my kitchen countertop needs, I trust pros at Legacy Marble & Granite. Thanks!!
What is your kitchen countertop granite or either Marble if marble then which marble?
15 years and sealed it 2 x, and really dont need to take care of it. No color shifts over time like quartz either. Also, you can have windows with direct sun on granite. its why you can use it outside, while quartz is NOT recommended at all to be used outside. Ya, Dekton is like glass. Its best for walls and floors. not hot cold swings or things bumping on it. Porcelain tile is even more giving than Dekton, as Dekton is heat treated to a much higher temp, and is super rigid.
Regardless, I would not listen to consumer reports for any product testing. They are like JDPowers, a big marketing agency.
Does anyone use formica? I think it might be the best value for money option and has great durability. They claim the new formica styles are much better than in the past.
Laminate ? Formica I bought instock stuff and it’s ver cheap and you have t be so fragile with it - don’t even breath on it ... corner was very chipped before. Even got it home
I diy installed laminate in my kitchen 22 yrs ago and then raised 3 kids. Still good.
Any work in acrylic sholid surface (casting fabrication fitting
Hi, is there any video which shows how solids surfaces are made from zero level to finish level? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Engineered Stone burns, scratches, stains and can't be repaired.
They forgot that part.
I love the theory of the pressed materials like Dekton, but like
Engineered Stone, they can't be repaired. aka a fatal flaw.
Centerwinger, Which material do you prefer?
Resealing granite is NOT a big deal. You just apply the sealer on a clean granite countertop and let it sit for a set period of time. You wipe it off and it is sealed. It might've taken, what? Maybe 10 minutes out of your life to seal the countertop? Besides, granite is much more heat resistant then quartz. In a kitchen that's really used for cooking that is the most important. Although I do like both countertops.

Soapstone.
This is a Dekton smear and HomeDepot commercial, huh???
Home depot should increase advertising spend.
Specially to News channels.
and doesnt even talk about solid surface after all, slow clap...
is this a review, or a commercial for luxury countertops?
My experience is 7 year
О чем тут бздят эти жабы ? Кто-нибудь может перевести на человеческий ?

Dekton is utter crap! I wouldn't even use it to line my garbage dump.....
