The right benchtop depends on the environment and how it will be used. We work with stone, stainless steel, acrylic, HPL, and timber to suit design and durability needs. We’re happy to recommend options once project specifications are confirmed.

Yes, we can match veneer joinery to flooring or other timber elements. Our in-house team takes care to align grain, tone, and finish across surfaces for a cohesive final look.

We recommend hardwoods and other timbers that handle moisture and weather well, such as cedar or accoya. We’ll guide you based on your location, finish preference, and performance requirements.

Samples can be reviewed at our Christchurch premises. Once we’ve reviewed your plans or quote request, we can provide guidance on what to view and compare.

We support design detailing after a quote has been accepted. While we are not a design service, we work closely with clients/architects and contractors to finalise specifications and material selections.

Project timelines are defined once a quote is accepted. We work with clients to plan around construction programmes, school breaks, or staged rollouts as needed.
