quartz is a man made product using natural stone and a resin material. No sealing and is stain proof. I have had my granite for 10 years. I have never had a staining issue and set hot pots down on it seldom, but it has never bothered it. I've sealed it maybe 2-3 times over 10 years. granite really doesn't stain. So, compared to quartz, they are very similar. It all comes down to what you like the best.

Manpreet, Congratulations on your new home! You can go with BWP ply with laminates. You are right in your choice of matt and glossy laminates for base and wall cabinets respectively. Without knowing your tastes, I am taking a chance to suggest you 14541 for base and 21187 MR+ from merino catalog. It looks good. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

Hello Vinayak, wpc sheet with acrylic laminate will cost you the same as natural stone like green marble of common shade granite. The second option is more sturdy then the first one .

Hello, SB you can place the same quality granite over the cut out portion, using L brackets underneath the new granite, which will hold the new granite piece in its place, then use black Silicon to cover to gaps. Regards, Urban Kitchens
