Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Merricks 45 with Metricon 13Oct 07, 2017 9:55 pm Today I visited Studio M and the news is Metricon is moving away from Caesar Stone. The new supplier is Silestone. For the ones attending colors from this Monday I don't think Caesar stone is available in the data base. I was told that Silestone would be slightly cheaper. I was a little disappointed that I wouldn't be able to go for Frosty Carrina (Cat5). However, there is Ariel in the Silestone which looks close to Carrina. The good thing is this one is in Cat 4. However, they did not tell the pricing. Cat 5 in CS is $830 M2. I hope the Silestone one would be cheaper than this price. I just went to M for browsing and not for colors. Re: Merricks 45 with Metricon 15Oct 08, 2017 1:22 pm Your island is going to be a monster! Glad you found a comparable stone. Personally I think Caesarstone is the best ... though M know what they're doing so I'm sure everyone will still be happy with silestone. Can't wait to see photos of your build as it progresses, a really nice design. My Phoenix by Metricon in Melbourne viewtopic.php?f=31&t=83584&p=1570829&hilit=my+phoenix+by+metricon+in+melbourne#p1570829 Merricks 45 with Metricon 16Oct 08, 2017 4:39 pm That’s terrible news. Caesarstone was one of the things that made M standout from some of the others. Silestone is what Porter Davis uses.
Metricon is starting to use cheap and cheaper products, first it was Beacon lighting, Clipsal and now this. So glad we almost finished building.

It is really a warehouse and not a showroom like ceasarstone one in Heatherton. My replacement to Frosty Carrina is Ariel and I liked Ariel more than F'carina as it is still whiter. And it is Cat4. The other one I liked is Blanco Orion which looks a little similar to Frosty. Snowy Ibiza also good. Lagoon is a little dull. All of these are in Cat 4. I guess, after Silestone is in, people would go to either Cat4 or Cat6. Cat5s are too busy or in your face type colors. In C6 Calcutta Gold and Statuario are really good. I don't know the pricing of Metricon, but the guy at warehouse told there is not significant difference in pricing between different groups. Re: Merricks 45 with Metricon 19Oct 14, 2017 6:31 pm I got the prices for some cats of Silestone. Yes, Silestone is little cheaper than Ceasarstone. M2 prices are as below: Cat1 -CS $520 SS $410 Cat4-CS$680 SS $610 Cat5-CS$830 SS $830 Cat6 -CS$1,690 SS $1,260 What I noticed the main change is in the type of stone, especially the marble look ones. In CS these start in Cat5 at a price of $830M2. Whereas you can find very similar ones in Cat4 in SS. A few I noticed are Lagoon, Snowy Ibiza, Lyra and Ariel and these are priced at $610. The edge prices for 100mm don't seem to be updated in the SQS yet. I found Cat 6 edge at $225LM, not sure if this is old or new price. What I further found is still ceasar stone prices are in the SQS, not sure if they are allowing these in the studio appointments at colors.
