Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 22, 2009 12:20 pm Hi, Im wondering if anyone who has built through simonds can give me some idea of what standard options are given around stone benchtops. How many different colours are there to choose from in the standard range? Sorry if this seems like a weird question. Hopefully someone can help me! Thanks! Re: Simonds colour selection melbourne 2May 22, 2009 12:51 pm We are building with Simonds and have been through the selection process but didn't choose ceaser stone so really can't help you. Simonds do offer tours of the gallery on a Saturday (I don't remember the times but your CSO or sales person should be able to help with that) where they take you through and show you the options (standard and upgrades). We did this and then spent some time after the 'tour' with the colour swatches etc and made lots of our decisions so that when we had our appointment we had some ideas of what we wanted.

With the Essa stone it seemed to be that the colours with the finer chunks of stone were the standard range and the ones with the larger chunks were the upgrades. Hope this makes sense to you and thought I would let you know as I presume that Caeser stone might be the same type of situation. Re: Simonds colour selection melbourne 4May 22, 2009 1:49 pm Thankyou! Our colour apt is in 3 days so il know soon enough. I really want a grey stone benchtop. I dont really like the big chunks of stone so hopefully the simonds standard range are the ones without it!! Moved In!!! Next up Landscaping!

Did you not get the folder with all the materials/colors etc. after the sales appointment ? That contains everything you need to know from bricks to benchtops.

Like artstitches said best is taking the tour tommorrow starts at 10:00am. With regards to avilable choice ... Simonds provide all caesarstone tops .. check out http://www.caesarstone.com.au/our_colle ... ?tab=color Is a grey standard ... from memory ... unfortunately no. I think they offer cracked pepper as standard ( but i personally dont think its grey at all). Osprey and Ivory are standard. Hope that helps Land Settled 27/04/09. Site Started 30/4/09.

We had Simonds and chose Ceaserstone. When the kitchen was fitted, they installed the standard laminate benchtop!. It took us to notice this when looking through the windows and had to tell them of the error. Hope this does not happen to you. This was about 5 months ago!. Just wanted to let you know to watch out The 'Gallery' staff are great and about the only ones who respond and genuinely want to help you. Good Luck Re: Simonds colour selection melbourne 12May 23, 2009 10:50 am Hi, I'm not building with Simonds but have the caesarstone catalogue at home which has all the upgrades in it so i would say it is caesarstone who list what is an upgrade not the builder.... seattle sky is not an upgrade in the brochure... we chose zulu for our house.... BTW seattle sky is quite light... 2nd build here we come in Whittlesea! https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=92617 1st Build - Henley - Cooper in Doreen!

I totally changed my mind after going to the gallery and looking around on saturday. Ive decided to go for a white stone benchtop that turned out to also not be in the standard range. The grey i liked (which was not 'seattle sky', turned out to be 'oyster' ) was also not in the standard range. So i had a think over the whole kitchen theme and sort of changed my mind on alot. We are now going with dark wood type cabinets called 'madagascar' with a white stone bench called 'whisper'... or 'white whisper' something like that! And instead of going grey stone bench with light grey over head cupboards, all the cabinets are all going to be the same. With dark charcoal/grey splashback.... I'm really excited and it all looks great in my head.. Thanks all! Moved In!!! Next up Landscaping!
