Getting a quote on the Grande Statuario. I think it’s going to be significantly dearer than our first quote ☹️ The crispness of the White is perfect with great veining. Second quote being done with main island in the Statuario and with Smartstone along benches under window and into pantry, in case the first is too dear. Took our Lexicon 1/4 and overhead samples with us. Really happy with the choices. I just hope the first quote isn’t too dear as I’d prefer all white but I’d be happy with the combination of both tops.

Hi Louise, In your situation where you do not have a Kitchen Renovation company doing all the work for you, then I suggest that you now contact a glass splashback manufacturer local to you. IME most glass splashback manufacturers will also offer to do the measure and the install where in this way you can be sure it fits properly and all these steps are coordinated. Regarding colour, A good Glass Splashback Manufacturer will visit you on site with colour samples on glass, where their representative can then help you select a colour that works with your benchtop and the reflective colours from other sources in your room. If you are leaning towards whites, I always find that using a paint with a small metallic fleck also helps to lift the chosen colour, and I also suggest that be sure to go for Low Iron Glass as this ensures that your chosen colour is not distorted. As we are in South Australia, perhaps someone local to you can also recommend a Glass Splashback Manufacturer in Melbourne for you. Hope this helps, Malcolm.
