Kitchen worktop options

FreeBear

4.2m is about the longest single length of laminate worktop you can get. Quartz, granite, and solid wood, probably shorter. With the appropriate tools & fixings, it is possible to get a virtually invisible joint as long as you don't have a bold pattern or pronounced grain.

5m could also be very difficult to get into your property. Plus very heavy.

Thanks everyone.  Slight change of plan now, am considering removing a protruding part of a wall in the kitchen and will mean I will need a 5.2m straight piece of 600mm worktop.  does that limit my options at all?   Does any worktop material come in long (5m+) lengths, or what material is easiest for a fitter to join?

This is the reason I went for acrylic, I didn’t have the budget for granite etc and it wouldn’t suit my house type.
 I’m a carpenter by trade and fit a lot of kitchens this was my first time fitting this type of material but it’s almost impossible to see the join (my biggest concern)  I think it’s easier to fit than standard worktops but I did my back in fitting so will say it’s a two man job.

We got a 4m length of iroko (plus a few shorter lengths) at this house and similar previously. The granite we bought at another house certainly wasn't available in 5m lengths.
