Having a close working relationship with our local benchtop factory has allowed us to halve the industry-standard wait time for a stone benchtop to five working days after your cabinet installation.

A family with active young children has very different needs in terms of durability than a couple whose grown-up children have left home. A young couple starting out in their first home are likely to have a lower budget to work with than someone building or renovating a high end property.

One of the questions we will ask you is whether you are likely to be selling your home in the short to medium term. Intending buyers have definite expectations about what materials a kitchen should be constructed from depending on the value of the house they are purchasing.

A rule of thumb is that once a property is selling for more than $800,000 buyers are likely to expect that a stone top of some type is included.

Once the price exceeds $950,000 the cabinet doors would usually be upgraded to acrylic, lacquer or a wrapped vinyl finish.

The most cost effective combination of materials is melamine cabinets and a laminate benchtop. Most customers choosing to upgrade from this combination tend to spend additional money on upgrading to a stone benchtop.

While it might seem unusual, cabinet door finishes tend to become less durable as you spend more. In contrast, bench tops tend to become more durable as you spend more moving up from laminate to stone.

If you would like more information or would like to discuss the various benchtop options available for your kitchen makeover, please call into Jag’s Showroom in the Botany Town Centre (right next to The Warehouse) or  or  for a design appointment.

It’s time to revisit your home away from home: your workbench. You spend so many hours working away on this critical surface. But are you using the best surface to meet your needs? While it may be tempting to overlook the importance of your work surface, not just any old folding table will provide the durability, comfort, and efficiency of the properly chosenworkbench top.

Bench tops are definitely not a ‘one size fits all’ proposition. The options range wildly depending on your type of work, environment, and budget.  A key factor is aesthetics vs performance. You may love the classic look of a beautiful maple but your work requires a less porous steel surface. For every application, there is a range of choices. Here’s a handy guide to the different types of workbench tops:

DIFFERENT TYPES OF WORKBENCH TOPS

Butcher Block Workbench Tops

Durable hardwood tops that work for just about any job. This popular bench top material is easy to care for and  cost-effective.

Phenolic Resin Workbench Tops

Very strong and stable, especially when used with materials like fiberglass. Highly durable, and non-porous, phenolic resin bench tops are chemically treated for resistance to even the harshest substances. They are ideal for labs and industrial applications, as well as anything involving chemical processing, food preparation, or exposure to corrosive substances. Made of thick black phenolic resin that is non-flammable, and non-absorbent.

Steel Workbench Tops

Provide exceptional durability and strength, making them suitable for heavy industrial applications. Reinforced with 14 gauge end channels, these bad boys will likely never crack or buckle. The powder coat finish is rust-resistant and won't absorb oils or lubricants. Well suited for metalworking, welding, fabrication, and tasks that require robust work surfaces.

ESD (Electrostatic Dissipative) Workbench Tops

If you’re working with electronics, an ESD bench top is an absolute must. These tops are designed with an embedded carbon layer to prevent electrostatic discharge, protecting sensitive electronic components from damage.
