They are lighter, quantum quartz also do a 6mm thick panel for walls, assume they wont be as heavy as normal stone? Yes, this is what I’m currently looking at. We are using quantumsix for our kitchen splashback. Might actually work out cheaper! Re: Hamptons inspired architect design with attached granny 197Feb 20, 2020 12:21 pm QuantumSix+ large format tiles are great,I was very keen to use it, but endup with expensive stone splash-back option, as the builder was not very keen as 1. the tiler was hesitant as according to the tiler he was worried a minor mistake could crack the entire panel also according to him it was very hard to handle move etc. 2. kitchen and joinery company basically charged the same amount as supernatural range Caesarstone pointing that they have to double up the tile price due to the risk of cracking during cut and install. end of the day, it came down to either I have to bear the cost of any cracks during install or pay almost the same as the stone - we choose the stone. If you / your builder can find a trade comfortable and has experience working with QuantumSix+, that would be a game changer.

The Corian vanity tops have been installed, unfortunately the position of the sinks means that the top drawers of the vanities underneath cannot be used!

Next thing for internals are the stone bench tops, which are due 18/3. So pretty much nothing will be happening till then. Meanwhile, at least a fair bit was done in landscaping Orchard and veggie garden. Dwarf fruit trees planted, watering system installed.
