Laminated worktops

[vinnymurray]

Hi all,

HELP!

I'm currently re-doing my kitchen and I have decided to go for a laminated worktop need (2 x 3000mm @ 665mm at 40mm depth) and I'm pulling my hair out.

I'm after a black with sparkles worktop and the cheapest I can find is £318, is that reasonable, or can someone suggest anywhere I can get them cheaper?
I'm having a Howdens kitchen installed, but they are charging around £377 for mirror chip w
I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks.

The major manufacturers are bushboard and duropal. I have masses of samples at home so can look for you - once you know the styles that would work you can look around for prices.

Is it the sparkly, glittery ones you're after? Hi gloss?

There's a place here which sells euro pal and axiom for cheaper - page I'm sending link too appears to be only £96 per 4.1m length ! I expect there's VAT and possibly delivery on top - but worth looking into !

Thank you so much for your input.

I am looking for the sprakly, glittery high gloss finish - but obviously at an affordable price.

It's a bit frustrating, but I really appreciate your help. I will check out the link too OnePlan.

B and Q do some nice hi-gloss laminate worktops. I'm thinking of getting them myself...

You are aware that the hi gloss laminate scratches very easily ?!
Make sure you have chopping board close to hand all the time ! As it's more likely to be a well meaning visitor who will damage your worktops !

Thanks, I'll check out B&Q.

Oneplan -You're right about the gloss finish, but it's hard to find a matt sparkly worktop, but I'll keep looking.

I've dug out my bushboard samples. Their omega range comes in several high gloss blacks, and they do a sparkly one too - strass noir.

Their prima range also has several from standard textures through to the radiance textures which are glinty. I've fallen in love with their antique Mascarello but I need longer lengths.

I think the 665mm is the wider depth - is that what you need?

Thanks Daisybell1 for that. I will research Bushbell.

My builder said that I can go for a 612mm worktop - which Howdens do.

I will still look into Bushbell. It has been a real nightmare.
