Benchtop Comparison & Pricing
We are often asked how two kitchens that are the same size can have such different pricing, so we’ve put together this information to illustrate the vast and varying costs that can come from just one element of your kitchen, the bench top. While every effort has been taken to ensure the pricing is as accurate as possible, they are subject to change. These figures have been derived from quotes from actual benchtop manufacturers and are retail prices as at 15/10/2007.
