This video was very informative and you explained things in an easy-to-follow format. Thank you so much for the effort in making this.

The winner for a vanity is definitely solid surface because the sink is blown in so there are no seams. For the kitchen its Granite or Quartz.

What is the difference between cultured marble, stone resin, polymarble, solid surface and Acrylic composition? What can be considered major positives and negatives for each of these types of bathroom vanity counters with built in sinks integrated in one piece? Are these fabricated vanities durable long lasting, heat resistant, color change resistant, chip resistant and any other item to consider?

I may be wrong here, but at appx 0:50 he says Solid Surface is made of Quartz dust? Isnt solid surface made out of acrylic?

[@petermartinijr.1012]

Solid surface is a composite material made from acrylic or polyester resin and alumina trihydrate filler.

I like this guy! He explains everything well, but there's something about his demeanor that is very trustworthy.

I went to the stone shop and noticed the black quartz look the same as black granite.....how to differentiate between them?.....thanx

[@TowerIndustries]

They may look similar, but they behave very differently. If your counter is going to be in the sun, you should go with granite.

Tower Industries what is cheaper ?? Quartz or hard tops

[@jesusistheonlysavior3312]

*Hard tops means solid surfaces

[@shameemied]

Quarts is better because of scrach resistance property

Unfortunately it chips when barstools bump the edge. If you have kids get Corian.

[@BigDiesel330]

You are going to have a hard time staining either one.
