Porcelain Countertops Price vs Quartz: What to Know

When deciding between porcelain and quartz, it’s important to consider more than just the price tag.

1. Price Comparison

   • Porcelain countertops (12mm) are generally comparable to quartz (3cm) in price, averaging $60–$120 per square foot installed, depending on brand, design, and edge profile.

     • Thickness Matters: Most porcelain slabs are 12mm, while quartz is commonly 3cm in the U.S. Traditional homeowners may prefer the thicker quartz look.

     • Mitered Edge Adds Cost: Porcelain can achieve a thicker appearance with a mitered edge, but this will increase the overall cost.

     • Specialized Fabrication: Porcelain fabrication requires diamond tools and skilled installers, making it slightly more expensive. Additionally, it can be challenging to find fabricators with the expertise to handle porcelain properly, adding to its exclusivity and complexity.

2. Durability & Maintenance

   • Porcelain edges out quartz in terms of heat and UV resistance, making it a smarter choice for areas exposed to sunlight or extreme temperatures.

   • Quartz, while durable, contains resin, which makes it less heat-resistant compared to porcelain modern surface.

3. Aesthetic Versatility

   • Both materials offer stunning design options, but porcelain slabs allow for thinner profiles and more modern designs, perfect for achieving that sleek, contemporary look.
