You can do all the same things as with a stone (and more) but the joins are completely invisible. I have an acrylic top at my work which apparently is too long not to have a join and I have spent plenty of time looking for the join but I can't for the life of me tell where it is. Acrylic can scratch much more easily than stone though but we just buff ours back with some jiff and it comes up like new. I've had stone at home in the last and now have a laminate top but I prefer the acrylic that we have at work. It is a nice balance between feeling solid and sturdy but not too cold or hard. I used to smash too many glasses on our stone top Re: Joins in stone benchtops 16Jun 05, 2014 1:30 pm for those with waterfall edges, does the stone completely butt up against the melamine cabinets on both sides? One side (where the pot drawers are) has a small gap, we can actually see light coming in from the other side. It seems they cut the benchtop a few mm too long and then the edge was epoxied on without due consideration.

It is very hard to get a mitred waterfall spot on. 1-2mm gap is acceptable against a cabinet as long as they fill with a matching silicon so you don't see the gap/light.

A U shaped kitchen will have a minimum of two joints.
