Top For Bay Window

[joy1812 0]

Hi,

I'm also very confused with the type of materials to use for my bay windows.

Went to two IDs,

First ID says solid wood top not suitable---will crack, warp, discolouration, etc. He suggest solid top--black galaxy (still waiting for quotation)

Second ID says solid top is for table top, not worth paying to sit on, and quote the following:

Design & construct 1set of 2600mm length solid wooden ply settee in solid ply laminated finishing--$510

And while checking out planter decking, sales guy suggest this:

Merbau/Oak solid top-- $30 psft

Need some advise;

Is it true that solid wood top not lasting?

Is the second ID quote = plywood with laminates?

What is the cost for mid-range solid top?

Thanks!

had solid wood top at the bay window. like what your ID said --- crack, warp, colour fade, looks aged. not sure if it is due to the bay window facing west sun.

changed to solid top, looks great and easier on the wallet. more importantly, easier to take care.

It's good that the G has decided to charge developers for these 'dead' space.... %^#&$ wasteful.... they can charge buyers on the psf without incurring any cost themselves.

Well, you can opt for solid wood (not plywood with laminates hor) to cover up your bay window like what I'm doing..

Cheaper than granite or marble but just as beautiful..

Hi

I really liked the solid wood tops you had put in.

Not sure if you still have these contacts but if you do could you message them through to me?

Thanks a lot
