Common questions
Which is better, granite or quartz?
Granite is a natural stone, meaning each slab is unique with its own veining and color variations. Quartz is engineered, offering a consistent appearance and a wider range of colors and patterns. Both are durable options for DC countertops.
Is quartz a lot cheaper than granite?
The cost of quartz and granite can fluctuate based on the specific slab chosen and its origin. Some quartz patterns are more budget-friendly than certain granite selections. We guide you through material choices for your DC kitchen.
Can I put a hot cup of coffee on quartz?
While quartz is heat-resistant, placing a hot item directly on the surface for extended periods is not recommended. A trivet or hot pad is always a good idea to protect your Washington kitchen counters.
Is it cheaper to buy or build a cabinet?
Pre-built cabinets often offer a more predictable cost, while custom-built cabinets allow for precise sizing and unique designs. The complexity of the design and materials selected will impact the final price for your DC cabinetry.
What is the 1 3 rule for cabinets?
The 1-3 rule refers to cabinet door styles, where the rail-to-stile width ratio is approximately 1:3. This ensures visual balance and structural integrity. We apply these design principles to your DC kitchen cabinetry.
