Kitchen: CaesarStone Countertops
December 1st, 2008
From Julie & Janet:
One of our favorite countertop surfaces is CaesarStone, comprised of 93 percent quartz and possessing superior stain, scratch, and heat resistant properties. We especially like Blizzard White with a honed surface (rather than polished), which requires a bit more upkeep but offers a more natural sheen. Available in a range of colors, in two finishes (honed or polished), and a choice of edge configurations; go to CaesarStone for dealer information.

CeasarStone is great! I used in in three big slabs for my bathroom floor. Minimal grout and incredible durability!

We used Ceasarstone for our kitchen counters. I love the look of it, but only after about 5 months it has tiny chips on the edge around the sink area and the stove top. I was surprised. I think it might have been from moving/cleaning the stove grills.
Another thing, my 5 year old was not being watched by grandma and was using permanent maker which bled through to the counter. I happened to have Graffiti Remover (from Home Depot) for other reasons and it worked to remove the marker and did nothing to the finish!

I should probably know this already, but why would a honed finish require any more maintenance than a polished one? I know they typically cost more, but in the end isn’t is still just the same material?

We just had our counters installed two days ago and I’m noticing a couple of tiny chips and there is a blueish mark that I cannot remove. We got the honed finish and I understand it shows fingerprints more so it requires a little more upkeep in that respect. However, I am very concerned about staining and chipping. I thought this was supposed to be durable and stain resistant?
