Just want to share the prices for Quartz after doing some extensive research for over a month;

Quartz

1) QQ Quartz (Quality Quartz)
Imported from China, Quartz mix with glass, Mirror chips effect, Price around RM180-190/FR

2) Jess Stone
OEM from Canada, Quartz mix with natural crystal stone, Price around RM200-380/FR - Depends on which series

3) Caesarstone
Israel brand, Imported from Singapore, Price around RM400-600/FR

4) Silestone
Spain brand, Imported from Spain, Price RM750-1000++/FR - Depends on the colour

However this morning a shop quoted me Silestone prices below RM300/foot run.

Quartz but I want a marble design quartz but it seems that there are a lot of types;
-compress marble sold as quartz (usually below RM150/foot run)
-quartz with some mixture on top (usually below RM150/foot run)
-Malaysian quartz (around 200/foot run)
-China quartz (1 shop claimed that it is from the biggest supplier in the world so it can't be bad but it is just not tested) (just below RM300/foot run)
-Imported quartz from Europe etc. (tested) (just below RM300/foot run)

And now 1 shop is selling Silestone for below RM300/foot run when the supplier in Malaysia is selling for RM750/foot run and above.

Headache
Don't know what is true and what is not...

Even for kitchen cabinet, it ranges from RM9k-18+k for the same thing (Legend being 17k and the 18+k is a smaller shop).

i've been searching for mable design quartz since day 1.
only last week I learned that there are differences.
there is compress marble, quartz mix with resin and quartz. in that order.
compress marble can be as low as RM110/foot run. But it is similar level to solid surface.

yeah there are 3 levels... according to 1 shop.. everywhere else they explained that there are 2 types only..
besides that for quartz there is Msia made, China made and ang moh made..

Hi you can check on the kitchen cabinet thread. I posted there. I’m on my phone now. Quite troublesome to navigate through the pages.

here you go
Solid Top solution.
‪+60 12‑323 1909‬

Sunshine Marble
+60 17-605 3218

do you remember roughly how much per foot run your Silestone was?

Amazing.. Not sure how quartz will look after 10 years as I have no experience in this.
I wonder if it is worth to top up for Silestone as I would need 16 feet..
Quartz Marble design (my no1 choice as I really love marble) RM270 x 16 feet = RM4320
Silestone RM306 x16 feet + RM4896

Not that much of a difference. I am just not sure if it worth to top up since quartz is a strong stone as well.

Quartz stone with marble design

went to look at porcelain tiles at Creative Lab today as I thought I can use that for kitchen wall and go grey for kitchen top but the tiles looks so lacklustre.
in photos they look just like marble or quartz but in real person it looked really pale.
