Our cabinet maker came to look at it today (he's the one who booked it all in) and he thinks the join is acceptable but I've asked him to look into why the join is where it is. I wish it was closer to the sink. Renovating our 1970s home Re: Caesar stone join on island bench :-( 77Jul 03, 2012 9:49 pm Where is it? and how long is the bench area? Re: Caesar stone join on island bench :-( 78Jul 03, 2012 10:53 pm Leni_82 Where is it? and how long is the bench area? Bench is about 5.16m. Join #1 in this image is the one I pictured above. It is 2.2m from the wall with arch door. This is where I thought a full slab would go in, making the join under the sink. Join #2 is near the return. It is 2.2m from the other join. So I have two slabs of 2.2m each and then the small bit for the return area (76cm to the end and then the l-shape return).

Our cabinet maker came to look at it today (he's the one who booked it all in) and he thinks the join is acceptable but I've asked him to look into why the join is where it is. I wish it was closer to the sink. Here's the deal. Some Stonemasons believe it is better to put the join for example in the middle of a sink, some think that is poor practice and that a join should be full length. I reckon if you got a dozen Stonemasons together and asked you wouldn't get a straight answer and it would probably result in a punch up. Just like asking what V8 Supercar is better, Holden or Ford. When I had my kitchen installed I asked about a join in the sink and my Mason was clearly in the camp that in the sink was weaker and he preferred full length. Since installed I've been very happy with the work they did and don't really notice the joins. Though must admit my kitchen is similar to yours but where you have join#1 my bench turns to the right so the join is in line with that. Looking at the wide picture of your kitchen it seems like they deliberatly tried to make the joins as evenly spread as possible avoiding the sink. So I would say your mason is in the full length join camp. Thankyou for your advice. We do have Caesar coming out and hopefully resolve the issue for us. 4 19168 DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair Are you going to have the frame exposed or are you cladding it with something.
