high quality granite will do the work for countertop. Granite can still be polished if needed (but very expensive).

There are actually standards (I was told previously, but forgot about what is it now). However, any standard is useless for products "made in China" (because they wrote they conform to that standard but in reality they didn't).
Usually for high-quality pure stainless steel product the company willing to give life-time warranty against rust.
Yesterday went to Ikea, most of their stainless steel sinks have 25 years warranty but the sinks look thin to me leh. Saw one stainless steel sink made from Germany at Jalan Besar, quite nice and reasonable price, the salesman told me that it is scratched proof, but the sink base has design like "small dot, small dot", sorry don't know how to express it. I'm afraid that dirt might trap in between the dots but he said won't leh.
Duplicate post because 1st submit, no reaction, then submit again.
why don't u head down to mayer to have a look? i got all my kitchen stuff from them. not overly expensive, good quality, good after-sales service
Yesterday went down to Balestier, quite a few shops too. Wow, since 304 is the lower, I guess yesterday what I saw was even the lowest because it is only 302, the salesgirl told me that it is from USA.
The one that I mentioned on #41 above is 316 stainless steel, looks quite nice but the only consideration is will the dirt get trapped on the dots and hard to remove.

Which is more expensive, quatz or granite for kitchen countertop?
I saw a post in renotalk and found a few but most of them only do the countertop + cabinet. I have tried calling a few companies thru' the search of the websites, some said they only supply stones, some said they don't just do the countertop, some of them, prices are fantastic. I have found 2 who solely do the countertops, but one of them only have solid surface (don't need to pay till completion) and the other have all the materials (ie quartz, granite and solid surface) but he requires 50% deposit upon confirmation, is that normal? He offered me India Black Galaxy, what do you all think of this material, actually I want to do quartz but his price for quartz is so much expensive.
why don't you get a contractor to help you re-do your kitchentop? need to take measurements, drill holes, etc etc. i don't know about quartz but my granite top was really heavy.
as for your contact, why don't you scour the forum to see if there are any reviews on him? he must at least have that BCA cert/stamp
Is it advisable to have the tap drill on the countertop because some of the stainless steel sinks don't have extra space for the tap hole.
