    Looking at renovating kitchen in our PPOR.

    One of the vendors mentioned ceaserstone is going up 23% in January.

    How can I validate this to see if he is been genuine or not ???

    Also - should one have a contract before starting ???

    1. Contact Caesarstone directly and ask them 02 9091 2900. Or just go with a different stone composite bench.

    2. Seriously? Yes get a contract and a very well defined scope of work with drawings, and specification list that itemises make and model # of every item you're getting installed .

    We did our kitchen 2 years ago and went with Quantum Quartz. There's plenty of alternate stone sellers around besides Ceaserstone!

    First PPOR back in 2006, composite benchtops cost $2k
    In 2015 new PPOR with similar composite benchtops cost $6k

    Back then it was a new"ish" product.

    These days it is so much more popular it seems to more expensive than Natural Stone Types o_O

    Ive recently been told by a few builders that the premium Ceaserstone range is now more expensive than marble.

    Just go to a different cabinet maker that uses Essa Stone. See how the prices compare.
