ᐅ Cost Calculation for Personal Quartz Stone

Hello,

a quick question about the price calculation for quartz stone countertops:

Does IKEA charge for each started meter, or like in the kitchen showroom, for every started 10cm (4 inches)?
Or in other words, do I have to pay for a full 4 meters (13 feet) for a 3.15-meter (10.3 feet) countertop, or only for 3.20 meters (10.5 feet), or just for 3.15 meters (10.3 feet)?

Maybe someone here has experience with this.

Thanks in advance!

You pay for the 3.15 m (10.3 feet).

Great, thanks zetterberg!

Even as someone who usually recommends IKEA products, I strongly advise against quartz slabs. Any sensible kitchen salesperson at IKEA should do the same. I know numerous houses where these slabs are no longer even displayed due to the problems they cause. You can often get something better from a "real" stonemason for nearly the same price!

Strangely, kitchen studios usually recommend your "artificial" stones because they are resistant to acids (lemon juice, fruit acids, red wine, etc.).

Does IKEA use different stone slabs than the kitchen studios? It would be great if you could provide some information on that.

Thanks for the information, Ikeaner, but I’m also interested!
What exactly are the issues with the panels?
