I love this look. Re: Square Edge or Round Laminex Benchtops 16Feb 23, 2011 5:33 pm The round edge everyone is talking about is a standard post formed edge where the laminate is heated so it can be formed around the semi circular edge of the bench in one continuous piece without breaking. They used to have to follow a fairly large radius to prevent the laminate cracking. Technology moves on and now post forming allows the laminate to be bent around a much tighter radius (4mm) so instead of bending around a large semi-circle you effectively have a square edge with very small radius. Sheet of laminate is continuous right around face to underside. There are no joins on edge, except ends.

Our cabinets are 2 pack gloss in metallic white so sounds pretty close to what you are trying to achieve. You may want to find out if you are having waterfall edges if they are doing mitred joints or butt joints? I have seen some comments on this forum where people's cabinet makers wont do mitred joints for some reason? http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac150/benschke/Kitchen-Living/New%20Kitchen/IMG_0639.jpg http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac150/benschke/Kitchen-Living/New%20Kitchen/IMG_0614.jpg Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ No idea about the driveway question, but your price for a house that size including landscaping seems very good! 1 6549 Hello everyone, After some suggestions and ideas about how to put a concrete path around the drop edge beam area on our new build.
