Countertop material?

8 years ago

I think the contrast between the countertop color and cabinets is spot on. I know there are a million color/material combinations, but can you tell me is this quartz or granite? Is there a way to pin down the supplier and what they call this material?

Thanks, Joe

The material is Quartz, the customer was the remodeling contractor. Quartz is a man made product and the colors are consistent store to store, you should be able to eye-ball it.

Hi Fred, Thanks for the want of the precise measurements. The U shape area in my kitchen is 64" - 104 - 99" (left - centre - right). Height of the kitchen area is 107". The wall with the fridge has total length of 99" Fridge is 32" wide, 29" deep, 73" high (I bought this fridge on a good bargain but realized it was slightly oversized in this kitchen area, but got to live with it now) The wall beside the fridge is 23" deep I know some gap has to be left between this wall, the fridge and the wall mounted/countertop cabinets for ventilation I guess. So I'd say the cabinets on this wall will have a length of only 63"/64"? The microwave is 18.5 wide, 13" deep, 10.5" high The oven is 24" wide, 24" deep, 24" high. The wall next to the fridge which will have this feature cabinet 42" wide, 110" high which is next to the main door. I'm thinking the feature wall is kind of plain, but it covers up where the fridge is sticking out.

Hi @leewinnie, it is TRUE that white countertops turn yellow, or amber overtime, and not an old wives' tale as suggested. Good maintenance habits and regular cleaning will delay the ambering, but in Singapore's hot and humid climate, it will turn. here is an example of a quartz countertop which was refurbished by us. https://www.facebook.com/MetallicEpoxySG/videos/vl.722116121496310/2034594186840580/?type=1 for more information, head over to www.metallicepoxy.sg!

consider resale as well. taller counters mean higher uppers, which would make me (5'2) walk away from buying your house. you could consider a counter section/island of thicker butcher block for prep and chopping that could easily be retrofitted with a normal thickness of granite or quartz in the future. sink grids raise the effective sink bottom by about 3/4 of an inch, i'm wondering if some are taller than that.

Stone Amperor Pte Ltd 2. HEAT-RESISTANT (~204 DEGREES CELSIUS) of quartz Just to clarify the following points with quartz any temperature over 80oC will cause microfissuring. Failure usually occurs at between 95oC and 125oC . Like any stone or surface, if you can not touch the heated object with your naked hand... DO NOT PUT IT ON the surface.
