Benchtop Renovations

all in all, it is where the action is.

For this reason, appliances, cupboard finishes and in particular bench-top surface materials, have all become paramount.
Customers are looking for durability, a good range of colour choices, affordability and most importantly, aesthetic appeal.

Absolute Stone specializes in the modern technique of solid stone veneer for bathroom and kitchen benchtop renovations. Due to the huge price savings afforded by their unique installation system, many customers find they can now afford to top laundries, powder rooms and even the kids bathroom with solid stone.

The Australian market follows European trends very closely...
In times past, we were typically a few years behind, however this lag time is now reducing quickly and quite often we are now only a season behind.
The past 6 or 7 years saw the preferred choice in bench-top colour ranges move to lighter colours.
Absolute Stone has sourced a range of natural stones selected specifically for their light, even and consistent colour.

Time rolls on. Fashions move on... and as we guess this was predictable,
this year the trend in kitchen design is to darker colours, for both doors and bench-tops.
Stainless steel is still big, handles have started to disappear and splashbacks are tiled in large rectangular format tiles...up to 400 x 80mm... usually being laid in stack-bond pattern, rather than brick-bond.
