@oga twins, cost of counter top depends on the size of the kitchen and the quality the client bargain on
But the one you mentioned there cost 70,000k then.

Hajji baba, so you still remember , good memory.

Marble can be stained to what ever colour you want.
YOu do not stain or colour or put pattern on marble, they are cut rough from big stones then polished,
We use to have a company in town and I worked there as a boy during them times.The Italians are good at this.So the paterns are natural not man made hence its unique.

Here in Nigeria most people preferred granite to marble bcs most marble do change colour, mostly if you use white or cream colour it will soak oil and turn something reddish in colour, although it happens to China low grade granite mostly rosabeta and rosapink, but it takes time before this can occur, something like 3 or more yes
Bross if you put one stone like the ones used i n decking in oil for 5 years, U mean it will absorb the oil?
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 8:44pm On Oct 21, 2016
Marble stone is diff, it will absorb oil, talking from experience.
The one for decking is igneous rock

Yes o oga ericko , granite is the best to maintain here o,
Igneous rock produced =granite.(that is why its stronger
Metamorphic rock =marble (very strong also but not good for kitchen counter stuff

That was one of the reasons I used granite, cos it was for a tenant and I thought they don't really care about your worktop, so something hard wearing like granite will be the best. My brother used laminate top for his tenanted flat, at the end of the tenancy, it was all burnt out because the tenant put hot pots, and knife marks, it looked so horrible, he had to redo the whole kitchen again.
