Where it suits
- 40mm laminate for volume housebuilding, affordable housing and build to rent, where cost per plot and replacement cost both matter.
- 20mm laminate for contemporary schemes wanting a slimmer profile without moving to stone.
- Silestone for private sale, penthouse and show home specification, and for any unit where the worktop is a selling point.
- Mixed specification across a single development, laminate through the standard plots and quartz in the premium units.
Worktop choice is usually the cheapest lever available for lifting perceived value in a plot. Moving the show apartment to quartz while holding laminate elsewhere is a common approach.
