Yes, it was very difficult to do lamination on White Macabus. It is a quartzite so any quartzite will be a difficult stone to work with and this project we have done is actually all 1 1/4 even the lamination is 1 1/4. The White Macabus is slightly stronger than the Taj Mahal so lamination can be done on the White Macabus without being broken but it requires lots of time and attention so it does not break .

Is the edging it double ogee? We have a 3cm slab. knowing that lamination is difficult, we are determining alternatives--and what 'fancier' edging we could use to still make the island pop without lamination.

consider resale as well. taller counters mean higher uppers, which would make me (5'2) walk away from buying your house. you could consider a counter section/island of thicker butcher block for prep and chopping that could easily be retrofitted with a normal thickness of granite or quartz in the future. sink grids raise the effective sink bottom by about 3/4 of an inch, i'm wondering if some are taller than that.

Hi, I am currently renovating my kitchen. Pictures of my tiles are below. I love wood grain cabinets. However, i am at odds as to whether I should get wood grained or solid coloured laminates. My designer told me that I can only choose from Arova n Jennings brand. He does offer EDL as well. But I do not like the solid colours from any of these laminate companies. A solid black colour will leave finger print marks easily. And I think grey is going to make my kitchen look monochromatic which I feel might get boring overtime. Some advice is really needed.

Only island is single ogee , perimeter is an eased edge. If you are not considering a Lamination done, you can look into single or double ogee which will still make your island pop . I have posted more picture of the kitchen to help you.
