Stepping Into A New Challenging Life

Mine is granite top, so far so gd.

Crack?? never heard of, but chipped yes if you really knock some sharp at it may chip it that was what i heard from my friends.

So granite ok? I mean do you put hot pots on the top? wet plates? will leave water marks etc? Then i forgot to ask you. You use glass doors for all the top cabinets. wats the additional charges? wiping them clean from dust tough work?

Hurray! Then for lazy bum like me granite is perfect. Sometimes after cooking maggie mee, I jus dump the hot pot either on the top or in the sink when I cant find the protector mat.

Plus i'm a terrible washer, water can splutter everywhere and I cant be bothered to wipe dry. SO as long no water marks, no burnt marks it's good news for me!

lol. best is to use protector etc whenever placing hot items on the solid top or granite. there is pros and cons is using either of these. if using solid surface i would recommend better quality as if you use more polyster based solid surface you can see the effects of decfects pretty fast.

So far like apple said, left hot pot(a while only, for long period never try) and plasticbags on top is ok.

But if never wipe off water, will cause water marks lor dun know why maybe quality and country of origin got difference??

As mine is black galaxy not same as apple(blue pearl), so not sure if there are any difference.

Only know there are 2 country of origin for granite in sg, 1-china and 2-india tat was wat i've heard during ID sourcing.

Mine is black galaxy from INDIA, not sure whether is the 1 tat u wants.

As for water marks, mostly is at the sink area and the cooker area tat i saw. As for other area of the worktop seldom lor, as mine worktop very small only

[applefreak 1]

there are actually a lot of country-of-origin for granite

e.g. spain, italy etc

however, like tiles from these countries

it's much more expensive

just remember to tell your countertop maker to seal the granite properly

so far researches done on the internet indicates that this is a very important step to prevent watermarks

My granite top also black galaxy from india. Have the same problem as Steve also - water marks.

Regarding the hot pot, ya i also always put hot pot on the granite, no problem

Agree that granite chip off easily if being knocked by sharp objects. Mine chipped off slightly already after being hit by sharp object lo

But from wat i observe from my mum place the granite dun left water marks tat was why i chose to use granite. But mine may like wat apple have said the sealing is not done properly or not even done in the 1st place.
