Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Aug 08, 2011 2:00 pm hi ... I'm going through the fun process (just waiting for the fun part to start ) of selecting Kitchen and Laundry benchtops. I'm hopeful the budget will extend part of the way to putting CaesarStone/QuantumQuartz/Essastone on the island, but I'm keen to find alternatives for the laundry and other benches in the kitchen. I am leaning towards the Caesarstone Osprey / Essastone new crystal salt colour - white with small natural speckles... can anyone suggest a Laminex/Wilsonart laminate colour that would be similar?? Thanks Re: Laminate Benchtop - similar colour to CaesarStone 2Oct 02, 2011 9:43 am Sorry im not sure of the exact colour of your stone but we didnt have the budget for stone so we were recommend Laminex Pure Mineralstone as the closest look for stone.. sounds similar to what you're after.

It is marginally different in colour, with the laminex being more white based, whereas the Caesar is creamy-er if that makes sense.

I was kinda annoyed but opted for the natural finish instead.. Building in Adelaide, SA Slab poured 08/09/2011 Handover 18/01/2012!

I really wanted it and they warned us against it for that reason.. *I just looked at the website and it says diamond gloss comes with a 7 year limited warranty but i cant find where it shows where it limits.. I might speak to our kitchen specialist again and double check!! Building in Adelaide, SA Slab poured 08/09/2011 Handover 18/01/2012!

It may have limitations like cutting directly on it, heat applied to it etc but it still has to have a warranty of sorts. Some things are worth waiting for.
