Benchtop Choices in Auckland
At Jag Kitchens, we offer custom-sized
bench tops to your specifications as
part of your overall kitchen build.
We don’t offer singular benchtop orders, but if it’s a kitchen makeover you’re after, then here are the reasons why you should consider using Jag.
Having a close working relationship with our local benchtop factory has allowed us to halve the industry-standard wait time for a stone benchtop to five working days after your cabinet installation.


Custom Kitchen Benchtop Design
When advising you on benchtop
options, we need to start with a
discussion about your lifestyle and
likely budget.
A family with active young children has very different needs in terms of durability than a couple whose grown-up children have left home. A young couple starting out in their first home are likely to have a lower budget to work with than someone building or renovating a high end property.
One of the questions we will ask you is whether you are likely to be selling your home in the short to medium term. Intending buyers have definite expectations about what materials a kitchen should be constructed from depending on the value of the house they are purchasing.
A rule of thumb is that once a property is selling for more than $800,000 buyers are likely to expect that a stone top of some type is included.
Once the price exceeds $950,000 the cabinet doors would usually be upgraded to acrylic, lacquer or a wrapped vinyl finish.
The most cost effective combination of materials is melamine cabinets and a laminate benchtop. Most customers choosing to upgrade from this combination tend to spend additional money on upgrading to a stone benchtop.
While it might seem unusual, cabinet door finishes tend to become less durable as you spend more. In contrast, bench tops tend to become more durable as you spend more moving up from laminate to stone.
