CaesarStone Countertops: First and Only Lifetime Warranty in the Industry


A recent press release by CaesarStone, the pioneer in the quartz countertop industry, announced the first and only lifetime warranty in the industry. Previously warranted for 10 years, CaesarStone decided to provide an added value to all homeowners buying their high quality countertops, in any color or texture available.

This is a huge sigh of relief for any homeowner looking to remodel their kitchen or bathroom in the currently down market. Lifetime warranties are definitely the way to go. Caesarstone quartz surfaces are already one of the best choices for remodeling materials. They are environmentally friendly, stain resistant, scratch resistant, heat resistant, strong and durable, and ultimately the virtually care-free option for bathroom vanity and kitchen countertops.

“Offering a lifetime warranty was an easy transition for us”, said Arik Tendler, President of CaesarStone US. “Basically, CaesarStone has always been made to last for a very long time. Our factory has raised the bar in all standards of manufacturing practices, guided by ISO 14001 environmental standards, the highest standard available. The dedication, devotion and professional training of everyone world-wide who interacts with our product, from the factory to transportation to fabrication, assures that all our products achieve the highest standard of quality control. Everyone at CaesarStone is part of this commitment - its part of our way of life. Because of this devotion to excellence, we have the confidence to offer the first lifetime warranty in the countertop business”.

CaesarStone’s new Lifetime Warranty applies to every new CaesarStone countertop sold to homeowners and fabricated by authorized CaesarStone fabricators. It is non-transferable and valid for homeowners as long as they live in the house in which it has been installed, and it has been properly cleaned and maintained as recommended by CaesarStone.

CaesarStone – headquartered in Southern California - produces premium quartz surfaces, complementing any design application, from traditional to contemporary, for both home and commercial applications. Price range is from $70 to $120 per square foot installed. CaesarStone products are available through kitchen and bath retailers, fabricators, architects, designers, builders and distributors nationwide.

Does Granite Countertops Emit Radiation?

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Quartz Countertops

I recently read about an interesting article in the NY Times, about the unusually high radiation found in one home. Dr. Lynn Sugarman, a NJ resident bought her summer home in Lake George NY, where a routine inspection revealed a high presence of radon, a radioactive substance that can cause lung cancer.

The high levels traced back to the kitchen countertops. While most observers believe that the rate of emitting radiation of granite countertops to be minuscule, a number of customers may not want to chance even a small probability. The NY Times article goes on to give other examples and said that The E.P.A. recommends taking action if radon gas levels in the home exceeds 4 picocuries per liter of air (a measure of radioactive emission); about the same risk for cancer as smoking a half a pack of cigarettes per day.

This argument of high radiation has often been made by rival quartz countertop manufacturers, but now there is a growing chorus. With increasing regularity in recent months, the Environmental Protection Agency has been receiving calls from radon inspectors as well as from concerned homeowners about granite countertops with radiation measurements several times above background levels.

What are the other countertop materials available?

Quartz Countertops is a viable alternative. For example, CaesarStone (Comprised of 93% natural quartz) Quartz Surfaces and Countertops offer the ultimate combination of form and function, allowing for a more diverse, durable, and practical countertop surfacing material than either granite or marble. It is stain, scratch and heat resistant!
