Hi Sharmilaks, My experience with glass is that it will scratch eventually and being such a high gloss marks will show. I would agree with DVG and have a look at Quartz Stone or Composite stone such brands as Compac, Quartz Forms, Diresco, Quarelle, Caesarstone, Arena stone, Uni Stone, Cimstone.

I am looking for Glass Hob, Vertical Glass Chimney and Built In Oven. I am getting mixed feedback across different forums so thought to reach here (impressed with some of the pointed comments so far). I am planning to choose between Bosch, Elica, Hafele and Faber. Can anyone please help ? I need to finalize it in next 3-4 days. I am purely going by the brand name (plus my previous experience with Bosch) so preferred the following 1). Bosch Glass Hob 2). Bosch Built In Oven (though it has aluminium burner but the one with brass burner 'Hafele/Elica' has the problem of making utensils black) 3). For chimney they do not offer 60cm Filter less chimney hence thinking to choose between Hafele or Elica. Please suggest if this is the right choice. Thanks in advance

Hello there, If you don't want to consider wood as a countertop, there are several other options available : 1. Wrought iron jaali 2. Corian solid surfaces (susceptible to heat) 3.Marble/granite/quartz 4. Semi-precious stone slabs 5. PU paint 6. Sandstone 7. Concrete with oxide paints(IPS) 8. Glass mosaic etc.. Note : wood is timeless and lends a warmth like no other. It will end up in one form or other in every house Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar

Hello there, steel isn't recommended for standard residential kitchen. It is recommended to go with any Indian granite with a sealant coat. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar +91-9078942136
