Our state-of-the-art machinery - possibly the best in New Zealand, means that we don't have to spend time templating first out of MDF. Instead, our digital laser ensures precise measurements while our computerised CNC cutting machine produces accurate results first time. With this European-made machinery we can fabricate any shape, thickness and profile including sink inserts and integrated drainage grooves.
With less margin for error and lower overheads, thanks to our investment in this machinery, we are able to deliver and install affordable stone benchtops quickly and efficiently to fit with your build or renovation timeframes - something we know is important when you are nearing the end of the project and are keen to move in.
Our turnaround time is dependent on the depth of the stone. If the depth is between 20mm - 30mm your benchtop can be ready within five working days. If the depth is between 40mm - 60mm, then your benchtop may take a little longer to craft.
Before ordering your stone benchtop, consider the following design choices
The depth of your benchtop is largely determined by which look you wish to achieve, for example a sleek shallower top or a bold deep top of 100mm or more.
This style allows the stone to waterfall down the side of your kitchen cabinetry, usually with mitred edges, creating a stylish end point to kitchen islands.
It is preferable to have a benchtop without joins so if you have a kitchen island longer than 3m, you may need to consider a different stone that comes in larger sizes to avoid any joins.
The placement of your sink in relationship to your benchtop is crucial and needs to be carefully measured. Sinks can be top-mounted, under-mounted or rebate undermounted.

Slab sizes and patterns can differ between suppliers of engineered stone. Additionally, some stones such as marble and granite have different slab sizes from one batch to the next.
