I need to do a kitchen cabinet reno and caught between using a concrete top vs a solid top.

According to what I read is that solid top is still scratchable, and also cannot withstand heat.

While personally I have used a concrete top with tiles on it. It's still good after 10 years.

But it seems people now think concrete top is 'old fashion' and the renovators seems to recommend solid top.

Any recommendation and comment ?

My thread title says it's between concrete top vs solid top,

The costs of the two I think is comparable.

I guess quatz will be a lot more costly ?

I need to also mention that if I rent the place to people, the tenants are not going to follow proper advise. They are not going to stick to rules. Tendency is for them to abuse the kitchen top.

If tenants are able to follow advise, I will only need to build a normal top ( not even a solid top ).

Are there big difference in price of the tiles ? - the basic type vs the higher end type

If the tiles are not so expensive, why is it some renovators say concrete top is actually more expensive than solid top ?

Or they just not interested to do concrete top, that's why they make it more expesive ?

Did you get quotation to find out price differential between using granite and other types of tops ( such as solid top ) ?

Just curious.

Basic tiles = normal ceramic tile ?

How much a typical porcelain tile ( higher density tile ) 2x2 will cost ?

Why you buy material one ? Not the renovator ?

How many inches the top ? And that was how long ago ?

Now ringgit depreciate a lot wor !

DIY ! Salute salute.

The granite they comes in piece by piece just like ceramic tiles right ?

What's the dimension and how much per piece ?
