Browse Forums Kitchen Corner Re: Links- Benchtops 22Aug 22, 2011 2:35 pm I work with Caesar Stone, Quantum Quartz, Smart stone, Essa Stone and many others. Reconstituted Stone is the new way. Marbles and granites are old fashioned these days Re: Links- Benchtops 23Aug 22, 2011 5:56 pm Not too sure I agree with that Modern Marble…..I’ve had quite a few people request Granite of late. To me reconstructed stone is not as popular these days, granite and marbles are making a come back. Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Links- Benchtops 24Aug 26, 2011 9:57 pm That's my personal opinion. I prefer recon.. I like to have control of the consistency of a product Granite this year has definitely made a come back, though still 75% of our work is recon. Where last year 90% was recon. What about Stainless Steel Benchtops? 25Sep 19, 2011 7:57 am Very helpful info/links thanks! While where talking about benchtops does anyone know of any good suppliers for residential Stainless Steel Benchtops? Particularly in Sydney area? Re: Links- Benchtops 26Nov 02, 2011 8:18 pm I have a question. We have just had our new kitchen put in and the benchtop, Diamond Gloss "Pure Mineralstone", is full of depressions. It's as though the thing has been hit by a hundred golf balls! Any advice? I of course pointed it out to the cabinet maker who said it was a normal thing, caused by the glue, it would be gone in 12 months. Sounds fishy to me.

Re: Links- Benchtops 30Jan 16, 2012 7:01 pm hi all, the width of our caesarstone island benchtop is only 750mm - I only realized when we signed the home contract. We just moved in last December and I'm thinking of extending the width to another 100mm or 200mm maybe. Not sure if anyone did the same thing and how does the joint look like, is it too obvious? If we replace the whole caesarstone benchtop it will be more costly. appreciate your opinion. thanks. Re: Links- Benchtops 32Jan 17, 2012 1:27 am hi All my kitchen bench is 2460 mm long and 900 mm wide with 600mm cupboards underneath and 300mm overhang. I had many quotes for 20 mm thick stone. One stone mason mentioned that 300mm overhang part is a little bit much for a 20mm thick stone. The stress resistance of the material would be on the limit. He said we can avoid the problem with a substrate. In this case the cabinetmaker need to install a melamine all around on the kitchen bench and that we should have a 40mm miter edge everywhere to hide that melamine. Only one stone mason had above concern and no one else mentioned that. Will appreciate any opinion / help on this.

Re: Links- Benchtops 35Jan 23, 2012 4:05 am CC101...you should start your own thread and ask about it. This really is a thread I started with links only, not conversation. Start your thread with the question and maybe cutting edge will see it. By the way, I suggest colours how they are applied and in what length is up to the kitchen supplier, so I can't help you, sorry.
