A CaesarStone rep is on this forum so hopefully they will give you an exact answer.

You can use various types of supports not just waterfall ends which im not sure would be enough for the 3m long bench. I have used metal bars under stone that are recessed and attached into cabinets to achieve this before, they just work like floor joists. Re: Question about caeserstone warranty and overhangs - expe 4Mar 03, 2015 1:13 pm Great thanks again, that roughly aligns with what he said if not exactly (which is that the stone needs to support it), maybe that is his preferred material/option since we had been discussing them anyway. Or the one they can pop a little extra on the quote for, that's what I wasn't sure about I will have to query if that is enough for the 3m bench. Re: Question about caeserstone warranty and overhangs - expe 5Mar 04, 2015 11:08 am As others have mentioned, our design guidelines require that any unsupported overhang not be more than 300mm on a 20mm single thickness slab. However this is simply our recommendation for the product and not a warranty requirement as our warranty is not applicable to the fabrication, installation or application but rather just the material itself. Re: Question about caeserstone warranty and overhangs - expe 6Mar 14, 2015 1:36 pm Could please you clarify. If the material fails to perform under the recommendations in your design guides are you saying that it won't be covered by warranty because you only warranty the slab prior to installation? I don't think I quite understand. Re: Question about caeserstone warranty and overhangs - expe 7Mar 16, 2015 10:10 am elsie Could please you clarify.

I don't think I quite understand. Our design guidelines are in place to provide installers with the most appropriate fabrication and installation procedures with respect to our surfaces and are completely separate from our warranty terms. Ultimately it is the responsibility of the installer to provide a guarantee of their workmanship and it is at their discretion to adhere to our design guidelines. In saying that, our design guidelines have been created with the intention of giving installers the confidence to be able to guarantee their workmanship with our product so long as the guidelines are followed correctly. Re: Question about caeserstone warranty and overhangs - expe 8Mar 16, 2015 11:15 am That is a good reason for builders to stick to your design guides then. Can I ask what is a good general purpose every day use product for the cleaning of your bench tops in caesarstone and is there a clean and polish routine you can recommend for periodic cleaning? Re: Question about caeserstone warranty and overhangs - expe 9Mar 16, 2015 2:23 pm goody59 That is a good reason for builders to stick to your design guides then. Can I ask what is a good general purpose every day use product for the cleaning of your bench tops in caesarstone and is there a clean and polish routine you can recommend for periodic cleaning? For everyday cleaning we just recommend wiping the surface with a mild detergent and non-scratch sponge. We also offer Everyday Cleaning Wipes and Surface Spray through our online store if you'd prefer. Caesarstone doesn't need polishing, but for an occasional thorough clean we would definitely recommend our Cream Cleanser. It's similar to other products on the market but with a much more gentle abrasive compound which is safe to use on the benchtop. You just apply a small amount to the surface and work it into a thick lather with a non-scratch sponge then give the entire bench a thorough wipe down. Rinse with a sponge and clean water then buff dry with a microfibre towel. I totally agree with everything you have written. Thanks again for your always excellent input and advice. I really enjoy reading your posts cheers Simeon 1 3109 I would say both styles you have pictured are steel.
