The kitchen went in with basically no real problems. The stone we upgraded to 40mm and to go down both sides of the bench and very pleased we did. We also redesigned the island bench to have hidden cupboards on the side facing the dining.
There is a feature laminex above the fridge and on the bench and the remaining kitchen is white.
We upgraded the door to our Butlers pantry to be glass and wood and that will be stained in the dark colour as per windows.
We have had Metricon delete the appliances and i have purchased my own. Got a Miele dishwasher and Ilve oven and cooktop.
HI, can I ask a silly question about your stone? Our Metricon contract says 40mm end panels and the kitchen guys drawings say 20mm+20mm (to make 40mm end panels). However the Metricon construction drawings say "20mm end panels with a 40mm edge" only. We questioned this with our supervisor before signing and she said "All benchtops and end panels are 20mm thick and only the edge profile will be 40mm thick. No benchtops or end panels are ever over 20mm thick as the stone is too heavy to handle. The pricing on this variation would also be correct as we never supply a bench or end panel thicker then 20mm." Are your kitchen end panels actually 40mm (made with 2 x 20mm slabs) or are they 20mm with a 40mm edging to make it look like 40mm.? I hope that makes sense!
