Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Dec 29, 2010 7:15 pm For those with an island longer than 3m... Is your sink on the island and if so where is your join? Re: Anyone with an island longer than 3m? 2Dec 29, 2010 7:37 pm Our island bench is longer than 3m. Our sink is in the centre of the island bench. We have a solid surface known as "hi-macs" We have the joins on the bench where the waterfall edges were attached but they aren't visible at all. Re: Anyone with an island longer than 3m? 3Dec 29, 2010 8:04 pm I'm trying to decide this at the moment, but our kitchen maker said they won't put the join near the sink (for laminate) due to issues water can cause. ~ trying to build our dream home by the sea ~ Re: Anyone with an island longer than 3m? 5Dec 30, 2010 7:43 am Ours is 3.75m long. The cooktop is in the centre, and the join is in the centre also. You have to look hard to find it. http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac165/aaron4erin/uploadkitchenDSC_0929.jpg http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac165/aaron4erin/uploadkitchenDSC_0914.jpg http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac165/aaron4erin/uploadkitchenDSC_0909.jpg http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac165/aaron4erin/uploadkitchenDSC_0951.jpg Re: Anyone with an island longer than 3m? 6Dec 30, 2010 7:47 am I love your stools Erin. Where are they from? What colour are your ceaserstone benchtops? Re: Anyone with an island longer than 3m? 7Dec 30, 2010 7:53 am blueblueblue I love your stools Erin. Where are they from? What colour are your ceaserstone benchtops? Thanks They're from Blue Sands Furniture at the Northland Homemaker Centre in Melbourne. Caesarstone is "Zulu" Re: Anyone with an island longer than 3m? 8Dec 30, 2010 9:07 am our bench is 4 metres long. Our sink is right over on the right hand side and the join is in the middle. Doesn't bother me though, I was hoping it would be around the sink, but it was still to long to do that. We have drainer grooves next to the sink and I'm glad the join is further away now as I think it would have looked silly on or near the grooves.

Our cabinet maker is using a product called Duropal (similar to Laminex) which do longer lengths so we don't have to have a join on the bench at all. The only problem with this product is that they don't have a huge range.
