Applications
Choosing quartz for kitchen worktops and bathroom vanities
Start with the application, compare a full slab and a physical sample, then confirm the layout with your fabricator. A sample helps judge colour and finish, while the full slab shows the scale and direction of the pattern.
Kitchen worktops and islands
Sketch the worktop and mark sinks, hobs, seams and exposed edges. Ask the fabricator to show where these fall on the selected slab. If the island has a vertical end panel, review how the top and side will read together from the main entrance.
Bathroom vanities
Compare the sample next to the vanity unit, tile and mirror lighting. Discuss sink details, splashbacks and exposed edges. Ask which surfaces and finishes are suitable for the exact application, especially where water or cleaning products are part of daily use.
Review samples in your own light
Check the sample in daylight and under the lights you normally use. Compare it beside larger areas of cabinet and floor colour. Take the full slab view to your final selection meeting so small sample differences do not obscure the overall pattern.
Confirm who handles the work
Ask who supplies the slab, who takes final measurements and who fabricates and installs. Make sure the quote uses the same design reference, finish and thickness that you reviewed.
