    Quartz countertops for the win. You have a wide variety of colors from which to choose, it is very durable, stain resistant, you don't need to seal it - ever, and uniformity of the material make seams melt away. We've had ours for 6 years and they look the same as the day they were installed. Plus, you get to have someone else do all the prep, construction and installation to include the kitchen sink. What more is there to ask for?

      Even engineered stone, 93% quartz and 7% resin. We just installed it in our bus. Absolutely love it

    • @andrewcairns5312
      @andrewcairns5312 10 месяцев назад +12

      Engineered stone is good.
      Defo check on any companies compliance with health and safety when machining/ working it.
      In Aust, there’s a union backed push to ban it due to a disproportionate number of workers severely affected by the dust.
      We do like our engineered stone bench tops though.

    • @johnbarr9857
      @johnbarr9857 10 месяцев назад +1

      just make sure the sink area is properly built to support it all. whoever did our house had joins around the sink and made the cabinet to light. Had to be reinforced with 2x4's and rattles badly when the insinkerator is running.

    • @RichardPerfectKiwi
      @RichardPerfectKiwi 10 месяцев назад +1

      We had engineered stone (it's essentially a fancy version of concrete) installed in our new kitchen a year ago now, so still pretty early. I was quite skeptical and pushed for wooden benchtops but that just got too expensive. The stone has been good though, there's no finish on the surface, it's just the "natural" product polished to a high sheen. I though it would be too hard and we would be breaking glasses all the time but it's been good so far. I agree with the health and safety checks for the workers though apparently it can be dangerous for them during the manufacturing process.

    • @steveschriefer2733
      @steveschriefer2733 10 месяцев назад +4

      One other thing, if you go with quartz/engineered stone, just make sure to ask for the plug(s) they cut for the faucet. Those can be ground at a later date to make a repair if you get a chip that will be a perfect color match.

    When I remodeled my home in LA, I decided against stainless countertops for the same reasons you did. My wife then wanted me to do concrete countertops, but that required additional support & zero movement to prevent cracking. I ended up going with cherry butcher block, finished with pure tung oil from Real Milk Paint. The butcher block was inexpensive compared to many other options, and easy to work with by myself.
    Applying the pure tung oil finish was tedious, but definitely worth it. I thinned the first coats of pure tung with natural orange oil solvent, so the finish penetrated & remained 100% natural food grade. We use cutting boards, but could prep food directly on them if we wanted to. If/when the tops eventually get scratched they're infinitely & easily renewed simply by re-applying tung oil. One caveat about cherry is that it darkens over time with exposure to direct sunlight. So, if you have one section that will receive much more sun than others, cherry may not be the best choice of wood.

    Hi Scotty, my names Quinney and I come from Chch but lived in London for the last 20 years, we are just doing up our bungalow after a series of flats and with our kitchen we’re going with a 40mm Oak block worktop and on the island quartz. It’s a good mix and the oak stays looking good for years if you use the Polix oil, and putting things on the wood like glasses or plates is quiet as a posed to the hard quartz. The timber adds warmth and style, perfect for a carpenter! Good luck and hope it goes well. Regards Quinney

    I have to say the double glazing and insulation you are doing (I call it deep reno) really works so well we just moved from a very nice but original 1960 built house in Auckland to a deeply reno'd 1960 built house in rural BOP the difference is astounding (our BOP house is professionally done 10yrs ago but insulated and double glazed (using new aluminium units) this made it quieter, different level warmer, and much more manageable. Only possible negative is less light through the double glazing but hard to say if that's worse or just different if that makes sense. From the outside the 2 houses look like they were identical for design style inside livability is just transformed.

Done my kitchen recently and opted for a cement like 4 cm thick particleboard bench plus cement like tiles on the backsplash that were 60 X 120 cm. They look exactly the same and with just 5 tiles i did the whole backsplash.

    granit for the countertop. first you have a plenty of choices.. like really a lot..
    secondly, it's just gorgeous
    thridly nothing more practical, you can cut on it, you can put hot pan on it, you can do everything on it, it will never break. nothing is more durable than granit. it will literally last you your whole life if you want to
    and finaly it's just gorgeous.
    i'm a woodworker in switzerland and i installed a lot of kitchens, i have work very often with granit.i have now my own comapny and i work with my italian family who work the granit.
    We always have granit in my family for more than 25 years in our kitchens and we even do the flooring of our house with granit it never move break or anything, it's like it's new.
    the best i can suggest you is granit. you can also choose other stone it will be good to, like quartz or ceramic. bit the quartz will be less durable and more fragile. and the ceramic is a lot like granit but way more expensive.
    so the best quality/price is clearly the granit and by far.
    if you want i can happily help you about this !
    Greetings from switzerland and sorry for bad english

    Knowing when to let someone else do the work is hard. I need to do that more myself 👌 Stainless steel looks really good when it's first installed, but unless you are going with a brushed surface, it is a nightmare to maintain. Don't ask me how I know. PS. For counter surface, we used slate from a snooker table. Bought an old beat up table for $CDN500, spent another $CDN1000 having it cut to fit. It is so dense it is nearly stain proof without sealant and you can put a pot/pan directly off high heat onto it and it just shrugs and ask what? Ours is a deep grey/green matt colour and we love it.

    Great move getting an interior designer in each to their own. You can't be a jack of all trades, something I still struggle with because I always want to have a go at it. The colour choice, navy blue, looks good - not sure about green velvet curtains - wasn't that a 70s thing. That is the best place for the TV in my opinion. Anyway, progress is being made even though it is through charitable means it will hopefully get you to completion this year.

    Just to be different, why not use your skills for the counter tops , and use the timber scraps you have in your shed
    Reuse & recycle is a tremendous way to recycle your home and reusing the remu as a counter top feature is very cost effective and tells the story of the home.
    Another option is modern concrete bench tops - I made one for fun for my bar in the shed , threw in some dark colour , used white stone exposed the aggregate, polished used a hard floor wax recommended by where I bought the polishing discs, and voila- cheap & looks great.

    Bench top: 2cm "ultra compact surface" paired with the same surface in a 4mm thick version for the backsplash. In my own home I chose "Helena" from dekton for both, but there are a few manufacturers to choose from in this material class. To make things ultra sleek have all your counter top outlets mounted on the bottom surface of your cabinets - I have a 1/2" tall outlet strip spanning 72" with an outlet every 6". Makes the installation of the back splash a breeze and, so far, everyone loves the location of the outlets. Also, check out some of the "show" kitchens using ultra compact surfaces as cabinet doors - too modern for my house but cool nonetheless.

    I would strongly recommend Quartz countertops. I recently bought my first home and the Kitchen has white marble-esque Quartz countertops and they look basically brand new after 20 years of use!

    I renovated our Kitchen and used hi gloss black wall tile, and they reflected like a mirror and looked awesome. i used a tinted grout with black oxide that was just a little lighter.

    Smashing it guys ... looks amazing🎉 . Me and my wife went for oak worktops I wasn't convinced but we have them now and I would only say go with a quartz or material that need minimum work to look brand new for as long as possible ... we are 4 years and a lovely daughter down the line and a more durable worktop would have been better

    Really, really love the alcove/feature wall.
    The colour is perfect.
    I always wanted to paint a feature wall the blackest Black, light absorbing black.
    On your alcove possibly a black strip would break up the solid colour but at the same time not be too intrusive
    I think it would be very interesting and it plays tricks on the eye.

    When my wife and I remodeled our kitchen we went with Quartz. Mainly because of the ease of maintenance. They have been in since 2004 and look as good as when they were installed.

    You could think about building a form for the bench tops, fill it with concrete & aggregate and then learn all about concrete polishing discs. Lovely little project for a builder

    There’s a lot of diy potential for a poured concrete countertop. Make a mold out of plywood and pour the concrete. Then there’s tons of different sealers and stains to get the look you want.

    I know the meltca/meline aren't the most extravagant bench tops, but they are the easiest to change or replace. You can buy them from your local and cut and fit yourself.

    10mm mild steel benchtop coated with flame metal spray, copper, anti-rust alloys there's a selection of materials to choose from. A quick search and 3 in the south island seem to offer the service.

    Inverted cast concrete tops are great neutral and very hard wearing. I did my own 40mm thick and even cast out basin into one.

    Coming together nicely. Always seems like a big leap in progress when paint goes on.

    Some people hear Dulux and they instantly picture the old English Sheepdog.
    As for glueing metal to wood, try using 3M VHB high temperature resistant tape. They build a building with it, so it should work with countertop.

    When we did our countertops we found a 2 foot by 4 foot porcelain tile. Put them on double layer of 1/2 inch ply with backer. Looks like stone but tougher. Can take really hot pans and skillets. Only end up with 2 seams.

    Also throwing my hat in for Quartz countertops. Here in the States we were able to get "remnants" from a local countertop place. They're basically the leftovers from someone else's project and it saved us a ton remodeling two bathrooms.
