Granite stains easily. I think mine not sealed. Next time I will go for quartz but I don't like the price.
Color choice is limited to dark colors for granite so if you are out of luck if you want something white

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??

i never know granite has to be sealed. does it mean the installer has to apply a coat of sealer after installation?

That's what I wondering too.

In all my thought, granite should be more expensive than medium quality solid surface hardtop and quartz is a little bit higher than granite. I have other KC co provide me such quotation.

But for Unity, the solid surface is not a cheap price and hence just top up a little bit to get Granite and Quartz, thats confuse me too because in my mind, granite should be more solid and heat resistant and quartz is more good looking with lil shiny top....

I planning to get only solid surface for my dry kitchen because it may a lot cheaper compare to granite and quartz, but surprise that it just top up RM 350 to get granite or quartz. Ya, the SA also pushing for the Quartz.

Any bro can share idea which is better for dry kitchen with oven? Solid surface is 8k and if with granite or quartz, just add on RM 350 to get it ....

I do personally prefer solid surface but granite/quartz is more premium in looking

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.

Hi,
Share with you my research on the price per foot run (i.e. 1ft x 2ft) for Granite & Quartz in Melaka:
1. Emerald Pearl or Blue Pearl Granite (both from Norway): RM160
2. Black Galaxy Granite:  RM140
3. Russian Diamond Granite: RM330 (only 1 shop has this granite stock; other shops used to sell at ~RM170 ... stocks are rare)

4. Silver Black Quartz: RM140

If you go for premium Feruni tiles 600mm x 600mm (for example Aludra Black AL81NN which is quite close resembling the Black Galaxy Granite) as countertop, you only pay ~10% of the Granite or Quartz countertop cost !

Hi guys,

can refer to the link below for the picture?
The developer has provided the sink counter top with tiles.. but refer to the picture in link below, once the tiles is wet, no matter how u wipe them, the water stain can be seen and really unsightly to me.

can anyone share what is the problem with this? and what is the way to improve this?
anything can be added (by polishing or something) to prevent this from happening.

Silestone price can varies greatly from 300-900. Mine is on the lower end ... Roughly RM350 pfr. Combined my wet and dry kitchen that was equivalent to 37ft run which turned out to be around 13k. That was more than 10 years ago (pic below)

My Silestone after so many years still like new. That's why I am using Silestone again for my new house
