denimart 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2012 Well, take a break. Heres something that we bought over the weekend.Samsung LED Smart TV series 6700 40" for our MBR. Couldn't afford a brand new set, so bought a display set at a steal from the PC show. According to the sales person whom is also my old friend, this display set only open for 4 days during the show only so we faster grab.Got this retro TV as a toy for my own room, i called it the "lil boys room". Saw the other forumner bought one and I've since craving on it. V happy to own one now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taichipanda 3 Report post Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) whiteeeeeee.. so i am really looking for something that wont stain or turn colour easily.SilesStone Zeus Extreme is voted most white but problem is they keep running out of stock for 20mm, and they dont offer any discount if you take their 12mm, if you want it thin, then no problem.Next best is CaesarStone 1141 Fresh White (i'm using 2141 Fresh White, very hard to tell the diff, only very close up then can tell), they have them in 30mm, 20mm & 12mm. Thicker more expensive (i'm using 20mm). NOTE: If your cabinet length is 10 ft continuous, the quartz top will come in 2 pieces (cos lift cannot fit in), they will be join using resin epoxy but there will be a fine line on the surface. P.S. - Go for CaesarStone, no regret at all. Almost zero maintenance. Edited June 13, 2012 by taichipanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Almost zero maintenance.actually i am not very particular on how white white it will be?? more concern about long term maintenance, scratch and heat resistance of it.uh-oh. will there be problems with the gap as i think my counter top might be slightly more than 10ft on a side..? Silestone seems very very (VERY) out of my budget because its from Spain (or somewhere in EU)... on the other hand, Caesarstone seems much more within my budget (even thou abit crazy still~).. my contractor also introduced samsung radianz quartz.. which i am not too sure about on quality.. =/my concern was/is.. paying for the quartz at a high price and end up having something similar to normal acrylic surface.
