We carry 7 black quartz patterns: Pure Black, Sparkling Black, Calacatta Noir, Calacatta Nero, Black Marquina, Majestic and Genesis. Pattern names, not stone brands.

What Is a Fair Price for a Quartz Countertop?
Quartz installed runs $49 to $72 per square foot at 3cm, with template, fabrication and installation included.
| Level | Installed price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | $49 to $50 per sq ft | Everything from template to fitted top, 3cm slab |
| Level 2 | $53 to $60 per sq ft | Everything from template to fitted top, 3cm slab |
| Level 3 | $61 to $72 per sq ft | Everything from template to fitted top, 3cm slab |
Extras are short. A sink cutout adds $113, and a full-height slab backsplash adds $225. Material alone, as raw slab only, runs $15 to $35 per square foot.
Countertops are priced per square foot, separate from cabinets. Our cabinets-only prices start at $43 per wall cabinet and $87 per base cabinet on the RTA and stock lines, and the countertop goes on top of that. The pricing page covers the cabinet side.
Black Quartz vs Black Granite, Marble and Quartzite
Quartz installs at $49 to $72 per square foot, while natural stone, meaning granite and quartzite, runs $47 to $148 installed.
| Material | Look | Sealing | Heat | Price installed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quartz | Even pattern from slab to slab | Non-porous, never needs sealing | Resin can scorch, use trivets | $49 to $72 per sq ft |
| Granite | Flecks and movement | Needs periodic sealing | Handles hot pans well | $47 to $148 per sq ft |
| Marble | Soft veining | Porous, etches from acids | Handles heat | quoted from the slab |
| Quartzite | Quarried, with bold veining | Sealing recommended | Handles heat | $47 to $148 per sq ft |
A granite quartz comparison usually comes down to heat and upkeep. Granite takes a hot pan better, while quartz never needs sealing and granite needs it periodically.
Granite marble and other quarried stone vary slab to slab, so no two match. Anyone pricing marble granite against quartz should see the real slab first. The quartz quartzite mix-up is common: quartzite is quarried stone, quartz is engineered.
Black granite countertops are the closest rival. Marble countertops stain and etch, so they suit a bathroom better than a working kitchen. Natural stone countertops also ask for more upkeep. See black granite, marble, quartzite or the full quartz vs granite comparison.
Which is better quality, quartz or granite?
Neither wins outright. Quartz wins on consistency and zero sealing, and granite wins on heat.
Cabinets That Pair With Black Quartz
White oak went into about 7 of 10 of our kitchens over the last year, and black quartz sits well against it.
| Cabinets | Black quartz pattern |
|---|---|
| White oak slim shaker | Pure Black |
| White shaker | Calacatta Noir or Black Marquina |
| Black slab | Pure Black |
For black cabinets, our catalog has 23 black door-and-color variants, with finishes from Tricorn Black to Pitch Black. A custom paint color is available on the semi-custom line. Pick the door style first. Run the same slab up the wall as a backsplash, or choose tile; the backsplash page shows both. Hardware comes last, since pulls read differently against a dark top.
What Is the Downside of Quartz Countertops?
Of the 126 quartz products in our catalog, 123 are polished, and polished black shows every fingerprint.
| Downside | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Fingerprints and smudges | Dust, water spots and fingerprints show on a dark polished surface. | Wipe dry after cleaning. Only 1 product is leathered and 2 are polished/honed, so ask us about a matte look. |
| Heat | The resin can scorch under a hot pan. | Use a trivet, every time. |
| Chips | — | — |
| Sun and outdoor use | Direct UV can fade or discolor resin. | — |
Can you use Clorox wipes on a quartz countertop?
Not as a daily habit, because bleach wipes can dull the surface over time. Use mild dish soap and warm water, then wipe dry so black stays streak-free.
