Overlay Countertop Cost

If you’re dreaming of a Caesarstone countertop but don’t have a large budget, consider Transform by Caesarstone. Pros install the overlay over an existing surface, such as laminate, tile, stainless steel, or concrete. The installation only takes hours instead of days or weeks.

Caesarstone Cost Comparison

If you're considering installing Caesarstone, it's helpful to compare top countertop materials to figure out if it's the right fit for you. Countertop material prices vary widely, so the details will help you decide. In addition to considering each material's appearance, consider its longevity and maintenance needs.

You might also consider the cost of wood countertops if you’re seeking an alternative to engineered stone.

Caesarstone vs. Granite

Materials for granite countertops cost around $40 to $90 per square foot. Granite has a broader range of affordable options, although it’s more high maintenance.

Caesarstone vs. Cambria 

Cambria offers quartz countertops and surfaces at around $65 to $75 per square foot. Just like Caesarstone, manufacturers make Cambria with natural quartz, pigment, and binders. Its most affordable options are about $10 per square foot more expensive compared to Caesarstone. The price difference does come with the advantage that Cambria offers twice as many options.

Caesarstone vs. Marble

Marble countertops cost approximately $65 to $90 per square foot. They're 10% to 20% more expensive than Caesarstone. Marble has a luxurious look, so it's a popular choice for high-end kitchens. However, marble is porous and sensitive to acids.

Caesarstone vs. Essastone

Essastone is a European-made engineered stone distributed only in Australia, costing around $35 to $80 per square foot. Essastone has up to 95% natural quartz compared to Caesarstone's 90% quartz content. Its standard single-color designs are up to 40% more affordable than similar Caesarstone models.

Caesarstone vs. Vadara

Vadara costs about $40 to $60 per square foot, making it $15 less per square foot compared to Caesarstone. Vadara doesn’t specify the amount of quartz it uses for its products, but it claims to have the most natural-looking veined surfaces available.

Caesarstone vs. Silestone

At around $50 to $70 per square foot, Silestone countertops cost $5 less than Caesarstone. Silestone uses quartz and recycled materials. It contains Microban, which is a protective layer that inhibits mildew growth.

Cost Factors

If you're planning a Caesarstone countertop project for your home, here are several factors that will have an impact on the final cost. You'll want to consider both the utilitarian needs of the countertop and the visual impact you'd like to make with the Caesarstone.

Thickness

There are three different thicknesses available: 1.3 centimeters, 2 centimeters, and 3 centimeters. The thicker the slab, the more expensive, but also the more durable the countertop will be. 

Standard size slabs—which are 120 by 56 1/2 inches—only come in 1.3-cm thickness, while jumbo slabs—which are 131 1/2 by 64 1/2 inches—are available in either 2- or 3-cm thicknesses.

Edge Profile

Flat-faced edges with rounded “bullnose” corners or square edges are the most common and least expensive. Sides such as 45-degree bevels and ogees, which have an S-shaped profile, cost more. 

The most expensive is the waterfall edge. This unique edge extends downward toward the floor and can touch the floor for a big wow factor.

Color and Pattern

Unlike natural stone countertops that are limited to what nature creates, Caesarstone can manufacture slabs in virtually any color and pattern. This makes it an ideal option for anyone who has a specific vision in mind.

If you choose a design with embedded semi-precious stones such as amethyst, the cost is at least five times higher compared to a style with classic colors and no textures.

Shape

Caesarstone is made in molds during the manufacturing process. Because of this, virtually any form is possible. Keep in mind that multisided asymmetrical shapes cost more and are harder to install, especially if you have an unusual kitchen layout.

Surface Finishes

Surface finishes have little to no impact on the final price. Choose from glossy polished, matte honed, and textured finishes.

DIY vs. Hiring a Contractor

Although you may be interested in doing a DIY job, it’s not a good idea because Caesarstone countertops are very heavy. For example, 50 square feet of Caesarstone countertop can weigh 300 to 700 pounds.

Rather than doing a DIY job, hire an installation team. Pros have the knowledge and tools to complete the job safely without breaking your expensive investment. It takes a team approximately nine hours to complete the job, including cleaning up the site. Find a countertop installer near you for assistance.
