Stone bench tops dilemma
Got an email from the builder saying their supplier got reports that the stone colour we chose has pink undertones and builder recommended that we reconsider our selection... pain, but glad that info got out before we ended up with a pink house lol... anyway long story short (p.s. this is long one) we visited the showroom today and picked two new colours (initially had one throughout the house), Silestone 'Lagoon' and 'Blanco Zeus'
Dilemma #1
The kitchen meets the pantry separated by a plastered wall. Kitchen has white vinyl wrap base cabinets, black glass splashback, Laminex 'Alaskan' nuance overheads and 40mm edge stone top. Coz of budget, couldn't do vinyl wrap and 40mm edge in the pantry, so went with mat white tiles for the splash back, and the same 'Alaskan' for the base cabinets to create some continuity from the kitchen overheads, rather than trying to match it.
The 'Lagoon' stone top we chose is mainly for the kitchen and hubby thinks pantry should be the same, but I disagree and think we shouldn't try to match it and go with the 'Blanco Zeus' in the pantry (also I think the Alaskan and Lagoon together will look too busy).
Thoughts?...

Here's an elevation of the powder room which has a 120mm drop down in the stone then a 180mm laminate panel...
The idea is for it to look a bit (although not exactly) like this...
Our floor tiles are similar (if not the same) as the above photo and go up the wall to below the vanity, the 180mm panel (which photo doesn't have - incidentally, what do you think of the shelf underneath the vanity?) is a black laminate and the feature tile between the vanity and the mirror (incidentally, should we take the mirror to the ceiling?) is Jewels Preto:
So which colour should we go for the stone top, Lagoon or Blanco Zeus??... I'm swaying towards Lagoon as it's a bit more of a feature than just plain white, but I'm unsure :/- 11 years agolast modified: 11 years ago
Dilemma #3 - 'Lagoon' polished or suede??

stone or laminex bench top? pros and cons of each please
Comments (11)Hi Carmel, I'm not a architect and I do value everyone's professional opinion, but can't help thinking that perhaps you and your husband are both right. The breakfast table would look great in a natural stone, it is the where you eat, have tea or wine on, maybe a small project, entertain or have a fork fight on. Choose a granite or marble that's going to tie in with the splash back and your lovely timber floors and go with a wow factor like a stand out vein or run of colour in it. Makes it interesting. As for the rest a dark or even black solid surface or laminate is ideal. I find them soft and touchable, easy to maintain, a pleasure to work on and it adds the extra modern elements that's missing from this lovely galley style kitchen. Corian is another brand of solid surface but a textured dark laminate from A reputable laminate supplier should do it too. Make this room an energy that you want to be in not just look great. Kind regards Marina....See MoreTap holes in sink or stone bench top?
Comments (11)Hi, This is totally normal. To answer your question, the location of the taps depends on the sink. If the sink has a landing (space for a tap hole) you can elect to obtain it with or without the hole/s and have the tap on either the sink itself or the benchtop. If as in the case of the Franke one you've selected, there is no landing then the taps are mounted on the stone. The cabinetmaker usually provides a template of the benchtop when the carcasses are installed for the stone supplier. This is then used by the stone supplier to make the correct size and cut outs for eg the sink. They will want the sink so that they can do the cutout to suit. They either then drill the holes for the tap/s during production or do it on site. It's no biggie. You just need to have the tap selected so they know what size holes to drill and where you want them. Take care to keep in mind clearances between the sink bowl and the cupboard carcass or other items. It's usually tight. We always plot the location of the taps while we have the template on site so we can check clearances etc. Cheers...See MoreStone versus lame bench top
Comments (11)I've long been concerned about the formaldehyde in laminates, which also continues to outgas after installation, but until recently questions about it were met with a blank stare. A few years ago I was pleased to see a sign in the kitchen section of Masters making a claim regarding that (I think it was the first time I saw the E0 rating?) but when I asked for information about it no-one knew what it meant and eventually they suggested I talk to their 'supplier' which turned out to be the hardware supplier who knew nothing about the laminates. Very disappointing when retailers of better safer products fail to take the opportunity to educate customers and promote those products. Good on you Anne Marie for wanting to ask intelligent questions. (I could start a whole new thread....)...See MoreCeasar Stone. Kitchen bench top.
Comments (3)Hi Steph, we have Caesarstone Fresh Concrete which is a similar product with a matt (but not rough?) finish. We love it in our kitchen and it does show marks at a certain angle more readily than our previous polished stone finish. When we first had it installed, we used the recommended products supplied by Caesarstone, they worked somewhat but we found we had to scrub the whole bench with the cream cleanser, wipe with fresh water to remove residue then buff to remove all water rings etc. We also tried windex, spray n wipe and magic erasers- all ok but not fantastic. We finally asked our Enjo rep to come over to see what she could do and that worked a treat- all surfaces are wiped over with the cleaning cloth and then buffed dry with the other. I use the marble paste to get rid of the grey marks on the edges caused by metal on belts, probably once a fortnight. I know I sound like a salesperson but I honestly don't work for Enjo! I have just found that this has been the clear winner. Even with slightly the extra work, we love the feel and look of the Fresh Concrete so absolutely no regrets. Hope this helps....See More- 11 years agolast modified: 11 years ago
