Benchtop thickness - is thick out?
Comments (2)I think thin benchtops look stingy - we have a 40mm and it does not look too chunky. Would definitely not go for the 60mm though especially if you are doing a waterfall....See MoreBenchtop thickness - is thick out?
Comments (1)Although I'm not a professional in the matter, I've worked with enough bench tops to know that its good to find a happy medium when it comes to the thickness (or thinness) of bench tops. The thinner the top the more prone it is to cracking, instability etc. Not saying you have to get the thickest bench top around, but talk to a few professionals about what the daily usage looks like. How its being affixed, ie if you have a waterfall bench top etc, makes a lot of difference too....See MoreEngineered stone - calacutta marble - continuous flow waterfall edges
Comments (4)Hi Em House With your Island being 3000 mm long and 930 mm high you will need a slab that is made around 4980 mm long (with cuts) if you want to use something like Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo and you want Waterfall Ends and want to match the veining. You are probably already aware though that this Reconstituted Stone sheet material (and even Marble for that matter) is not made this long where the Largest Format Sheets are still only 3200 mm long. Even though Mick Jagger said it best, there are still however a few options available which you may like to consider. Stone Masons have for centuries been addressing this issue by sudo matching the veins in Marble as best they can at junctions, where a good Kitchen Manufacturer's Stone Mason (like ours) should be able to take the time and select pieces for such a project that come close and still look the part. Here is a photo of such psudo matching. The Waterfall End Style is usually paired with Modern Style cabinetry and so another option availableto you and one you may like to consider is to use a Broken Line Waterfall End in your Design. This works particularly well with Recessed Handle Kitchen Designs, where the Drop End also lines up with the top of your Doors & Drawers. Here is a photo of this type of Broken Line Waterfall End. This island has also continued the Stone cladding around the face where you may note that the veining does not follow perfectly on every surface; but still looks great. I hope that some of this information is of help as well as allaying any concerns. Regards Malcolm...See MoreWaterfall Benchtop in Bathroom
Comments (5)I'm also considering a waterfall option instead of a nib wall, but with a solid surface (acrylic) bench top - same material used for bathtubs, basins, shower floors etc. My builder did not believe there would be an issue. I still need to speak with the glazier on the options for the glass and bench top junction. What that could look like. Based on what I've seen how a shower screen are connected to nib walls, the same approach may apply. a b - Have you investigated any further on this?...See More- 5 years ago
