[ It's so demeaning when sales people tell you that 'this is the first time that something like this has ever happened' ??!! Do they think I was born yesterday?? :roll: I can understand that, but. I might be the first time it has happened to that sales person. I have never had any come backs on sto...

But it’s always best to find out whether your cabinet maker has cut out pieces of the actual benchtop that he can show you as a sample. This will help you visualise what your benchtop colour will look like when it’s done. Not really. Especially if its man made stones like CaesarStone. Colour can di...

Unfortunately it seems to be a batch problem with Silestone, they are replacing the whole lot so it was obvious enough to them to that the sample and actual product were significantly different. They are sourcing product from interstate that is hopefully a closer match with the samples. One of the r...

Benchtop colour consistancyKitchen Corner

Aug 24, 2015 8:47 pm

Just wondering, has anyone had issues with colour samples not matching the end product? We recently had benchtops (engineered stone) installed in our kitchens and bathrooms, I got a colour sample from the distributor and what has been installed is really quite different from my sample. The sample I ...

Hi, I'm new and would love to attach some pictures of our build along with some questions but I can't work out how. Can anyone please tell me the simplest way to do it (I'm not very technically savvy!) I did look at previous answers to this question but the sites that I was sent to came up as unsecu...

Hi guys, quick question. We are just at lockup phase and our block is really messy and full of rubish. I don't want to complain, but my wife and I think it is really bad. How is everyone's experience with site cleanliness? Tradies seem to be notoriously messy, I've seen some terrible pictures. Our ...

Aggregate in polished concrete wont polishFlooring & Floor Covering

Jun 22, 2015 8:56 pm

Hi, We've recently had our concrete floors polished in our new home and they really look pretty bad. The floor has exposed aggregate in it and some of the aggregate is not polished. The rest of the floor has good polish but in every square meter of floor there are probably 10-20 pieces of aggregate ...
