Hi everyone
I am having a smartstone 40mm bench top installed in my new house this Thursday.
I originally had a Caesarstone bench installed over a month ago however the joins were terrible, there was a chip in the islands bench and due to the colour (Urban) the joins on the edge to get the 40mm were shocking. Highly visible and not something that I was at all happy with.
After much discussion between the builder, cabinet maker and stone mason they have agreed to replace it as long as I don't pick Urban again.
Given that my metaline splashback (Nimbus Metallic) has already been made I am limited in my colour choice and the only colour that I like that is similar to Urban is from the Smartstone range. It does have a bigger fleck through it though which they have said is better for joins and less visible to the eye.
You don't really hear much about this stone, only usually Caesarstone, QQ, Essa etc.
Does anyone know how it compares to these other brands? I'm just a little concerned I'm making another mistake
Thanks
Hayley
