Process
Kapiti Benchtops offers custom made high pressure laminate tops and Roxx solid surface tops.
You can come in and visit us with your plans and requirements or arrange for someone to come and visit your home for a free site measure.
A quote will then be provided to you.
Once we have confirmation, the colour is then selected. We have a sample room at our premises and urge you to come in and visit, where you can view a wide range of colours and styles.
All benchtop measurements are then checked and confirmed before the manufacturing of your new benchop commences.
Installation
We are happy to organise installation of your benchtop. If the benchtop is for a new kitchen, you may prefer your kitchen installer to do this for you.
Considerations
There are a few things to consider when planning your benchtop:
- Edging
- Thickness
- Upstand
Profile (Edging/Thickness)
Benchtops can be edged in many different options and thicknesses. The most popular being a rolled or square edge. The standard thickness of a benchtop is 37mm but we can custom make to your personal preference.
Upstand
You have the option of having your benchtop manufactured with an upstand. There are two types of upstands – coved or square. We would recommend using a coved upstand behind the sink area as this doesn't require a join and is more suitable around wet areas.
Timeframe
You can expect the manufacture of your laminate benchtop to be completed in two weeks. As solid surface benchtops are more labour intensive they take longer, so manufacture will take around three weeks.
