Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Oct 27, 2009 7:14 pm Hi all, Ok well i have finally got my masterplans back and the kitchen saga continues! Apparently if i want the bench to be 1.2m width then i need to use a formica colour for the benchtop as laminex colours will need to have a join in the top. Formica have a standard width of 1.2 therefore avoiding any joins. However im sure on the laminex website it says they can do 1.2 or 1.5. Im really in a bit of a pickle now because i really want to use a laminex diamondgloss colour and if i cant have it i might as well keep the standard size benchtop. So if you have a laminex colour for your benchtop can you please tell me the width of your bench? and if it has any joins? I have to send the plans back tomorrow so any responses would be appreciated. Thanks, V Re: Bench width - URGENT HELP NEEDED! plans to go back tomorrow 2Oct 27, 2009 10:30 pm Hi Vanessa I just had my kitchen installed today. I went diamond gloss. What "joins" are you referring to? Do you mean the edges at the end of the bench? Then in which case - yes I have joins. But these are the only joins. I assume you are talking about an island bench at that width? Sorry I can't help you as I just have my bench around my walls at the standard width. I hope you can work it out. It is all so frustrating. I was nervous looking at my kitchen today. But I like it. One or two minor things that I wasn't expecting but I will get over it. Might just lose one nights sleep over them. They are minor but after spending so long making decisions I wanted perfection. Now have to get the plumber and the elec back to connect the oven and gastop and get the plasterer back and then get the place painted. My floor boards are being polished this week (they were sanded yesterday). Let me know how you go. Any structural alteration to your home requires building permit. Before you get it you will have to supply plans with structural assessment, you will also be removing… 2 4120 Thanks again for this information. If you do hear anything different, would be great to know 4 8242 Thank you @. Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 3267 |
