depending on the ID u go to. some IDs quoted me same price for granite and LG solid top. unless u go for other brands of solid top, makes more sense to go granite if its the same price as LG

Ohh...the pricing was $98 pfr for LG, $115 pfr for corian, granite not quoted but shd be

thereabouts right?

anyway, my main concern is aesthetic and practicality of having both tops in the kitchen...

If your SS and granite top are of different colour, it may be harder to find a neutral colour in between for your cabinets. but i'm not a designer.. so i may be wrong.

otherwise, i dun see any problem with having both. If your washing area cabinet is just for storage purposes (I'm assuming service yard area) u can even consider laminate top which is very much cheaper

from the colours i played ard with, dark glossy tones are good complement for

the cooking zone if i combine with ss and granite top...

thanks for the heads up on using laminate top at washing zone...only concern would

be warping of laminates over time due to constant contact with water...?

anyway, i dun have a service yard..doing up a galley kitchen instead..

not sure if i'm going OT but need to check with u guys....

do ppl do silicone sealant these days? my concern is, do ppl do silicone sealant where the s/s sink and the laminate/granite/solid countertop join?? if not, would there be gaps n hence, water can seep through?

if the cabinet is intended to come into constant contact with water, then laminate is definitely a nono.

my undermount S/S sink has silicon sealant with my granite top. no leakage so far.

no sealant then leaking is definitely a problem

$110-$140pfr.

thnx. Kind of attracted to quartz (from silestone) recently after reading more forum threads. Will visit builders design centre soon at changi south to compare. Someone mentioned the price between granite and quartz is almost the same.
