I've been looking at high-end stone counter-tops & came across this product from Thailand at one of their show-rooms..

it's pretty amazing. IMO.. kitchen carpentry can be basic, however, the finishing and counter-top is what makes or breaks how a kitchen feel.

benefit of this stone is it is high-end like marble, but without the hassle of maintenance & fragility of marble tops. I have a quote locally for about RM400 per sqft.. including cutting and fitting on site.

I do hope that you have chance to walk around few kitchen cabinet showrooms to see the reality.

With such high price, of course we'll ask.
Most if not all of them will say the charges are incurred by other contractors... not them, hence fixed price.
They can only tell the quality must be good and no other details.
Also, as I said earlier, they charge by lumpsum "per hole" instead of size or materials.

I do agree that Ikea cabinet is the benchmark.
Honestly, I did install a 14ft base 10ft wall Ikea cabinets by myself for another house.
To my surprise, the wood quality does give better perceived quality than comparable priced melamine cabinets from other vendors.
If I'm going with wood for new cabinet, I'll take Ikea anytime.

Ikea is pricey, for basic quality product.. imo la, once you start exploring bespoke suppliers, their counter-top options are very bland..

also cabinets & carpentry, I prefer aluminium these days..

these guys are the industry standards for great quality aluminium kitchen. But on the pricier side, comparable to ikea prices.

I recommend this company: https://www.bleno.com.my . cheap, good and great service.

This looks interesting. However at this price you can get Silestone or Caesarstone. They are better technically I'm terms of porosity. This one is 0.5 and Silestone is 0.05. That means water absorption (anti bacteria) and stain resistance the best of quartz still better. The marble look is interesting though

I think this geoluxe stone is also very durable.

The showroom in Thailand had an induction cooker built right inside the stone counter top and you could put a pan ontop of it to cook..

Then when remove the pan and you put your hand directly ontop, didnt even feel heat at all..

Thought it was some sort of magic trick.. Lol..

They were also cutting directly ontop of the counter-top. To prove it was scratch resistant..


I found a video of exact demonstration that i saw..
