]]>From our first meeting, we felt that you were listening, understood our objectives, and could work within our budget to provide us with a practical design with maximum impact. Your advice on colours and finishes, as well as on technical matters, was informed by expert knowledge and was critical to the success of the project. Also, your clear explanations of the different choices available to us (many of them on display) really helped us to refine our vision and priorities for the project, and gave us assurance in advance about the quality we could expect from Allstar Kitchens.
We found every member of your team to be not only knowledgeable, efficient and reliable, but also friendly, courteous and patient with answering questions.
Finally, our heartfelt thanks to you for developing the detailed design, and then coordinating with such close attention. We felt that you were always in command of every detail and always willing to go the extra mile to respond to a special request and to get the job completed as quickly as possible. And when we had one slight glitch, you were on it immediately with a great solution within the hour – who could ask for more?
We are absolutely delighted with our new kitchen, and look forward to working with you and your team in the future on a bathroom project.
All the best,
Jann and Michael (Eumundi)

Thanks again Kym I couldn’t be happier with my new kitchen.

The post Selecting the right benchtop – Laminate appeared first on Allstar Kitchen and Bathroom Design Sunshine Coast.
]]>The laminate industry has responded to the popularity of stone with an amazing range of photographically reproduced stone, woodgrains and designer laminates for the budget conscious client who wants the look of stone or timber, but whose budget only allows laminate.
There are many very good brands available, such as Laminex, Egger, Formica, Polytec and Wilsonart to name some of the better known.
Most of the best quality laminates are around 1mm thick, and have the capability of being “postformed” or rolled on the edge with a very tight radius which gives the benchtop a more modern square edge which is quite different from the rounded bull nose edge most associate with laminated benchtops. There are some limitations. Not all laminates can be rolled so square and this profile only works with benchtops with straight lines.
Another option to get a square profile is with use of ABS edging. The edging hides the dark line that typifies laminate benchtops and allows a benchtop to incorporate any shape. The range of edging colors has not yet really caught up with the range of laminates, but there are more than enough to satisfy most people.
Pros:
- Economical
- Hardwearing
- Huge range of colours, textures, woodgrains and styles
- Is installed with the cabinet – no waiting as with stone
- Kitchen is operational at least 2 weeks faster
Cons:
- Can’t be so easily shaped
- No fancy edge profiling
- At risk of water damage
- Can be scratched, stained marked more easily than stone.
- Very difficult to remove scratches & stains.
- Doesn’t help resale in the same way stone does.
Overall, when the budget is tight it’s a great choice and can give a good WOW factor without the WOW cost.
