Hello all,

I had 14Ft & 6Ft existing tiles kitchen top and because currently used non-full body tiles and the appearance was disgusting after polished the bucu puke.gif
Therefore i would like to re-do the kitchen top.

Tiles: Quoted around RM4k for both (including hacking existing tiles and rebuild)
Quartz: Quoted RM150/Ft, RM350 for hacking existing tiles, RM150 for undermount sinks (i had 2 sinks and 1 hob so total RM450)

Would like to know your opinion for which material would you go for in term of durability, apperance, value for money
and anything that i should be taking note of when re-do the kitchen top?


Thanks! notworthy.gif

Hi, I'm facing the same problem as well.
If quartz will install on top of the concrete structure right? So the top working height will be higher?

i was told that the contractor have to hack the existing tile then only pasang the quartz top
that's why i am so undecided now confused.gif

Tiles maybe around 5mm, quartz is around 15mm means after hack and install will increase working height by 10mm. I guess 10mm difference should be ok?

i did not get to meet the quartz contractor yet, cant comment much but 10mm should be ok IMO
