Benchtops for dressing tables and kitchens: Engineered Stone vs Laminate
For dressing areas, study nooks and kitchens, these are two common options. Always consider the latest safety and regulatory guidance in WA for stone products.
| Aspect | Engineered Stone | Laminate |
|---|---|---|
| Look and feel | Premium stone‑like patterns, seamless elegance | Vast decor range (stone, timber, solid colours) at lower cost |
| Durability | Hard and scratch‑resistant; avoid high heat | Good everyday performance; use boards and trivets |
| Maintenance | Low maintenance cleaning | Very low maintenance; simple wipe‑clean |
| Cost | $$$ (premium) | $ (budget‑friendly) |
| Compliance and safety | Follow current WA rules on silica safety and fabrication practices | No special fabrication safety issues for end users |

FAQ
How do I choose the right wardrobe suppliers in Perth?
Look for WA manufacturing, clear design documentation (plans and 3D), quality hardware (e.g., Blum, Hafele), realistic lead times, and solid warranties. Reviews, showroom displays and industry membership (HIA, Master Builders WA) are all good signs. If you’re also planning a kitchen or laundry, choose a team that can coordinate the entire home for consistency and efficiency.
How much do custom wardrobes cost in WA?
As a guide, a built‑in wardrobe typically ranges from $2,500–$6,000+ depending on size, doors and internals. Walk‑in robes usually sit between $5,000–$15,000+. Materials (melamine vs 2‑pack), accessories, lighting and site complexity all influence price. Supply‑only wardrobe supplies can reduce cost for capable DIY clients.
What are typical lead times from design to installation?
Allow 1–2 weeks for design and selections, 3–5 weeks for local manufacture, and 1–3 days for installation depending on scope. Peak seasons and specialty finishes can extend timelines; we’ll confirm your schedule during quoting.
Do you offer wardrobe wholesale or trade pricing?
Yes. We supply wardrobe wholesale to builders, designers and developers with specification packs, cut lists and shop drawings. Supply‑only or supply‑and‑install options are available, and we can align to your project programme across kitchens, laundries and robes.
Which materials suit Perth’s heat and coastal conditions?
Moisture‑resistant melamine carcasses with ABS edging, HPL or quality melamine doors for durability, or matte 2‑pack for a premium look. Choose corrosion‑resistant hardware, and consider laminate or compliant stone options for dressing tables. Good ventilation and careful sealing help in coastal or ensuite‑adjacent spaces.
