All stone in the home is a sign of quality. Stone surfaces are very "forgiving" and best of all, can be restored, polished or repaired. Consider the durability of natural and engineered stone in the home. The Marble Man specialise in stone polishing, repairs and sealing. www.themarbleman.com.au 1300 627 626 will always recommend stone!

Got my answer - non combustible material such as, natural stone - marble, granite or concrete etc.

not recommend this brand at all !! we had bencthop in Cimento just for 2 month and already stain everywhere and hard to clean. call their rep come out and they try to clean for an hour and does not help. request a discount or refund and they been very rude to us and told us just go to VCAT they don't care!!!! Very disappoint why my stonemason are recommended this brand to us. we should just choose caesarstone even pay a bit more money but you can have service & quality.

I wouldn't go those dark laminate kitchen cupboards. I have the exact same and I absolutely loathe them now. I use to love the darker colours but now I wish I had just done them white, light gray or even the dark blue (although dark blue worries me a little too!). That dark laminate brown is such an absolute pain to keep clean. They show up every mark. I like your stone bench tops though but would look at other options to create the look you're hoping for with the joins and waterfall benches etc. Goodluck with it all!
