Kitchen benchtops, made to measure and priced online.

Laminate is the most affordable benchtop surface Cabjaks makes. It comes in finishes that read as stone, timber or concrete, and it can be made to any length and shape a kitchen needs. Cabjaks makes laminate benchtops two ways.

Custom benchtops are made to your measurements in the Benchtop Planner. Enter your length and depth, choose a colour, add joins, cut-outs and end finishing, and the price updates as you go. Straight runs, L shapes and islands are all handled in the planner. Custom benchtops arrive finished and ready to fix down.

Benchtop blanks are 3600mm lengths in a choice of depths, cheaper per metre than a custom top because you cut them to length yourself. Loose clashing strips are sold separately for finishing the cut ends. Blanks suit DIY installers and trade customers who are fitting several kitchens and want stock on hand.

Both are made in our Auckland factory and can be collected from Pakuranga or delivered anywhere in New Zealand. Custom benchtops are made to order; you choose your manufacture date at checkout. If your kitchen cabinets are also coming from Cabjaks, the Kitchen Planner and the Benchtop Planner are designed to be used together.

Choosing between laminate and stone comes down to budget and finish. Laminate costs less, installs sooner and is easy to look after with a cloth and mild detergent; use a trivet under hot pans and a board for cutting. Stone costs more and is templated and installed rather than delivered. The stone benchtops page sets out the all-inclusive stone price so you can compare the two.
