Hi Guys,
I need info re materials for kitchen counter tops. What are the alternative materials to granite or marble. I believe meron nang mga synthetic materials pero di ko alam kung saan nabibibili, made to order ba ito based sa sukat ng counter top mo?
Re: Kitchen Counter Top Materials
The only countertop material I have experienced using is a formica factory laminated on high quality marine plywood. These were available in sizes of 2 feet by 8 feet, which I bought from San Jose Builders.
Re: Kitchen Counter Top Materials

has anyone here heard about synthetic granite for countertops?
Re: Kitchen Counter Top Materials
Are you referring to corian counter tops? There is a local variety available in the various home depots.

Hi!
Check out granite tiles instead granite slabs. Much cheaper and looks the same. just need a good tile setter to do the job.

Re: Kitchen Counter Top Materials
i had the same dilemma when choosing tops on a price-benefit basis.
i ended up with the granite slab. costs around 5,000 per slab + 2,500 for the installer. if you know somebody who can install, the labor can further be reduced. it took them only 4 days to install 3 slabs complete with the edges and backsplashes
Re: Kitchen Counter Top Materials
whats the dimensions of 1 slab of granite?
Re: Kitchen Counter Top Materials
There is no specific size for granite slabs, common sizes varies from .60x.60 up to .60x3.0m.

Re: Kitchen Counter Top Materials
I like granite slabs myself. Had it installed in two kitchen counters.
They do not come in standard sizes. I guess they just cut the largest slabs depending on size of the quarry. You just have to measure your countertop then get the smallest slab that will fit.
When I did my kitchen, the slab I got had some extra so I was able to have a small sink on my island made of granite.
