Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jul 19, 2008 3:16 pm Alright, well, the kitchen in our new place is fine but we'd love to modernise it a bit.
Right now it's a bit cosy cottage, with beige/peach toned tiles, pink bench tops, clean white everything else, with an apricot tiled splashback. What I'd LOVE is to keep the clean, crisp white cupboards and everything, but replace the bench top with, for example, Laminex in black Ebony Marble. I love the black with swirls of faint white look, even if it is Laminex and not real marble or anything. Then later on we'd replace the kitchen tiles with paler cream ones to tie it all together. (we'd get dark tiles to match the bench tops, but it wouldn't suit the carpet very well) Anyway, my question is... How MUCH is Laminex??? I was on the website but it never had anything about price. Is it the cheapest thing? We want the cheapest as long as it looks good (like the swirly marble) and lasts well. Also, how much is it to replace a splashback, say in glass? There's not much of it...it's only about 3 short cupboards worth of tile. (again, we want the cheapest that's good) Thank you! How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing!
