The cheapest is solid surface, RM100+ to RM200+. Quartz & granite depends on the color & quality. Granite is about RM200+ to RM300+. Quartz, there are RM200+ (Local) and there are RM600+ (e.g. Ceaserstone, Silestone brand) pfr.

Solid surface can get scratched, cannot put hot things directly on top. Normally people use at dry kitchen. Granite/quartz is heavy duty.

Thanks Kelvin for sharing. I have a clearer picture now.

Standard depth for kitchen top is 2ft. Thus, dimension = 2ft X length.

Indian black galaxy granite is one of the top grade granites. It's the most dense & looks nicer. That's y it's more expensive compared to other granites.

From what I surveyed, thickness should be standard 1". You might see 2" that's because of the additional 1" skirting.

If me, if budget allowed, surely I'll choose the black galaxy. :-D

Ya...black galaxy definitely looks much better compared to the china stones...

Hi there, just wondering how would the quotation be like if I'm looking at a larger slab (3ft width) for a kitchen island? Is there a separate sq ft run quotation for a larger width?

Thanks in advance.

if 250 psf it is high range price and at this price can get branded quartz liao. if china made ones, then 250psf is very expensive
for base counter tops, the depth is 2ft so 1 fr is equal to 2sf

You would probably need to contact a supplier and get a custom quote. For larger widths there is more wastage, hence the rate might be different.

Now Unity Kitchen got discount until 31st october. The price for granite and quartz is the same, i.e. RM 190 pfr, normal price 250.

Just got my quotation yesterday.
Dont know whether limited finish(design) or just the plain one.

I am going there to get better info.
Was told by the staff at Signature Kitchen that Granite/Quartz will absorb some moisture and transmit it to the base cabinet. This will make the base cabinet a bit smelly.. Anyone can vouch to this??

Anyone got any recommendation for nice finish?

I’m selling quartz stone top at rm 148 pfr, contact me at 0123713891

All these quartz, granite, marble are porous stone right?

Can red wine / chili oil stain gets easily removed when drip onto their surface?
