Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Sep 12, 2012 3:03 pm Hi All, My partner and I will be moving into our house in the next 9 months and wanted to start doing some serious thinking about getting some quotes for our kitchen. Current Kitchen and Layout from a distance Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Kitchen close up Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ So the plan is to pull out this entire kitchen and start from scratch. We have been trying to decide what layout we should opt for. Originally we thought to try and put an island bench in the middle but realised it would be too tight. We have therefore decided to keep the same layout but extend the bench at the front to fit up to 3 stools. The finish we are after is something like the image below and to also have ceasar stone bench tops with the possibility of splashback or tiles. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ So my questions are: 1. Where do we start getting quotes for something like this? (Live in the Essendon area) 2. How much are we roughly looking at paying for a kitchen of our size not including appliances? 3. Should we opt for the same layout and keep it simple?

Contact some cabinet makers, and get a few quotes.

Hi Leni, Thanks for that. I will definitely get in contact with them. Also I see that you are from Modern Marble. Whats your opinion on the whole Quantum Quartz vs Caesarstone? We are trying to keep costs down for our renos and would like stone in the kitchen, bathroom vanities, laundry and build in study area. Re: Kitchen Quotes/Layout and Price Estimate 7Oct 03, 2012 4:02 pm Caesar and Quantum are just two brands competing against each other. They both offer the same warranties and generally each colour can be match in the opposing brand. If cost efficiency is important to you (as most consumers) I'd say Quantum. The difference in their standard ranges is generally about $250 per slab. Re: Kitchen Quotes/Layout and Price Estimate 8Oct 03, 2012 7:06 pm As Leni said, there really is no difference between the two companys. Its like comparing ford and holden. Different company with the same product. Have you considered Sile Stone?? Exactly the same product as CS and QQ. They offer a 15year garrentee and have antibacterial agents in the stone!

If you're looking for cost effective you have Quantum Quartz or Smartstone (who are more expensive than Quantum but cheaper than Caesar in most cases). There are a few "chinese" companies selling stone also. YDL and RHF are two of them. I've had customers insist on them due to the savings and they haven't had any troubles, but the choice is yours.

Thats because Parbury was importing Sile Stone for ten years. They have lost that contract and Sile Stone is importing direct themselves. This happend 12-18months ago! Parbury had 100s of different products and didnt push or sell Sile Stone well. Sile Stone is 10 times the size of CaesarStone in the US. For some reason people think that CaesarStone is the be all and end all for stone tops. SileStone is a much bigger company that CS, with a better warrenty and more selections in there range including almost fully recycled tops. I am not sure why that are not popular in Vic but with the price, quality, and colour range you would be silly not to look at what they have to offer!
