Before you choose your edge, choose the thickness of your tops

The general rule of thumb is to use 30mm thick worktops in kitchens and 20mm in bathrooms. Upstands and backsplashes are usually made from 20mm thick material. It is possible to go for a 20+20mm edge, thereby giving the impression of 40mm thick stone (a narrow piece of 20mm is glued on to the underside of the 20mm slab along the edge). This tends to be more expensive than 30mm due to the work involved. It is also recommended that if you are having 20+20, an MDF sub-base is put in to give extra support to the 20mm slab.

We can produce a large choice of different edge profiles. Tell us which ones you want where when you send your plan for a quote. Again, the rule of thumb is that upstands and backsplashes only need a Flat Polish. The rest is up to you.

When scheduling your appointment, please let us know if you will need for us to demo the kitchen counter, which includes disconnecting and reconnecting the plumbing as well as removal and disposal of old Formica tops.
