Some photos to share on the solid surface.

Over the years, there are some dispute between solid surface and granite manufacturers. Mostly because they are competitors and to me both products have their pros and cons, so it really up to individual choice. Whichever choice you made, you must willing to accept the cons too. I don't intent to write all the facts here as it will become very boring, luckily found a website that had done a comparison chart of various countertops. Hope it useful to all.

This are some of the advantages of using glass countertop.

 

Glass Durability and Easy Countertop Maintenance

Consider glass for a countertop with multiple advantages.

• Tough as stone – Glass countertops are as strong and durable as any common natural stone or man-made countertop material.
• Texturing – Textured finishes make dust, fingerprints and small scratches nearly invisible.
• Heat – Glass is naturally heat resistant so hot cookware can be placed on its surface (although the use of hotplates is recommended). 
• Hygienic – Glass is non porous, making it the most hygienic material available for kitchen countertops.
