We are currently considering which countertop material to choose. The options are ceramic, quartz, and natural stone. The kitchen will be matte white and handleless. The countertop should also be matte and fairly resistant (able to handle a red wine glass spill, for example) and not absorb liquids or show stains easily.
The prices we were given are approximately:
We need about 4.5 sqm (48 sq ft).
What do you have? What can you recommend and why?
The prices we were given are approximately:
- Ceramic around 500 €/sqm (about $ / sq ft), with cuts being very expensive
- Quartz around 400 €/sqm (about $ / sq ft)
- Natural stone around 400 €/sqm (about $ / sq ft), depending on the type of stone
We need about 4.5 sqm (48 sq ft).

We chose Dekton for our kitchen. The properties and the range of finishes convinced us. Above all, we wanted a thin countertop that is naturally stable. With Dekton, this is possible with a thickness of 12mm (0.5 inches).
Unfortunately, this material is among the most expensive options for countertops. You also need to see what the kitchen retailer can offer. Our local supplier gave us a reasonable price, which made the decision relatively easy.
