Common laundry benchtops

Hey all,
Now planning the laundry renovation and after some benchtop ideas.
Would like to go marble/granite/stone however seems to be quite expensive.
Trying to keep costs down but also want a very waterproof material.

Any recommendations on stone/marble/granite suppliers that also do cuts for sinks, and install etc.?
Location Melbourne.

Or how do the 'vinyl' marble/granite look benchtops hold up with moisutre?

Cheers

 

There are plenty of sites that sell offcuts. Google is your friend. Also look on gumtree for your immediate area.

 

I had the same predicament and ending up just going with laminate. It will hold up to moisture fine as long as it is well sealed with silicone around the sink and walls.

 

Yeah i've seen some places with cheap offcuts ~$100-200 for the size i need (600x2500mm), however getting the cuts is where i'm having issues.

All places so far don't do cuts.

Any recommendations?

I really would like to stay away from laminate if possible just for durability sake....

 

My thoughts are to speak with a stonemason about how much they will charge for the cuts. If that price plus the offcut price is still within budget then I'd advise going for it. Laminates have come a long way but they are still not as luxurious as stone.

Try to match the kitchen bench top material for consistency.

 

Ikea do custom artifical stole and laminate benchtops which are reasonable price.
