Stone Benchtop Features
Mitred edges are a popular choice for laundry benchtops. The process involves cutting two pieces of stone at a 45-degree angle and joining them together to create a precise, polished joint. The result is a clean, continuous surface with no visible seams, which creates a modern and minimalist aesthetic.
Mitred edges are great if you want to achieve a high-end and sophisticated look for your laundry benchtop, while also ensuring a practical and durable surface for daily use.
Waterfall edges are an elegant and modern design feature for stone laundry benchtops. This stone cascades down the sides of the benchtop, creating a continuous flow and a seamless transition between the horizontal and vertical surfaces.
Waterfall edges are suitable for engineered, concrete, granite, marble, and quartzite benchtops, and can add a touch of sophistication to any laundry room.
For laundry benchtops, the thickness of the slab doesn’t affect the design, just the looks. Banks Benchtops offers the option of mitred benchtops for a seamless and polished finish. However, solid 30mm stone benchtops are a cost-effective alternative that requires less manufacturing.
These types of benchtops offer the same durability and beauty as thicker slabs, making them a practical and stylish choice for any laundry benchtop.
For stone laundry benchtops, there are three distinct finishes available – polished, matt/honed, and textured.
Polished finish is luxury, where the stone surface is polished to a high degree, giving it a lustrous and elegant appearance with a deep, intense colour.
Matt or honed finish, on the other hand, is less polished and has a less reflective surface. Textured finish, meanwhile, is exclusive to natural stone. Leather finish amplifies the stone’s natural finish, while still being easy to maintain, while a flamed finish is rougher and typically reserved for granite benchtops.
Installing an undermount sink when installing a stone benchtop in your laundry is an excellent way to achieve a seamless and modern look.
Unlike top mount sinks, undermount sinks are installed underneath the benchtop surface, creating a sleek and minimalist look that enhances the overall aesthetic of the laundry. By eliminating the need for additional cutting or drilling into the benchtop, undermount sinks provide a smooth finish that is easy to clean and maintain.
