Countertop Installation in Sha Tin Wai

In Sha Tin Wai, expect the national typical per square foot or metre for your chosen material, with an island, complex cut-outs and premium edging pushing the total up. Ask for the price templated and fitted, not just the slab.

In Sha Tin Wai, view finished installs, get the price templated-and-fitted with all cut-outs and edging specified, and confirm who fabricates the stone. Compare quotes on the full installed cost per square foot/metre, not the raw slab price.

Quartz and sintered surfaces just need wiping; avoid excessive heat and harsh abrasives. Natural granite and marble need periodic sealing and are more stain-sensitive (marble especially). Ask the installer for material-specific care instructions and how often to reseal.

Yes — a templater measures your installed cabinets exactly (often with a laser) so the stone is cut to fit precisely. It happens after cabinets are in and before fabrication. Skipping proper templating is how you end up with gaps, bad seams and misaligned cut-outs.

Quartz (engineered stone) is non-porous, consistent in colour and needs no sealing; granite is natural, each slab unique, and needs periodic sealing. Both are hard-wearing at similar price points. Choose quartz for low maintenance and uniform looks, granite for natural variation and heat resistance.

Cost is driven by material and area. Laminate is cheapest; granite and quartz sit in the middle; premium natural stone and sintered surfaces are dearest. Priced per square foot/metre or linear metre installed, with templating, cut-outs (sink, hob), edging and removal of the old top usually on top.

Stone countertops commonly run HK$500-1,800 per foot run supplied and fitted; a typical flat kitchen lands at HK$15,000-50,000 depending on material. Premium and large-island jobs sit higher.
