Over sized work surfaces?

[EricP]

In order to fit an IKEA kitchen I need deeper than the usual 600 work surface.

Has anybody seen 700s around in local sheds/suppliers at a sensible price?

Cheers

900mm double sided breafast bar & cut it down, removing an arm and a leg at the same time

Get the standard sized wortops and cut the wallbacks down on the cabinet sides. :-)

The price does go up a lot when you want wider work tops, but the benefit is worth it.

Try some of the independent kitchen shops. Usual sizes are

600mm commodity price (£40/3m) but will look mean, has no room for out of true walls and will probably force you to leave a gap at the back which you hope the tiles will cover. 616, 650 mm as above but disproportionately expensive. 700, 750 and 900 which has two 'front' edges. The ripped-off edge can be used as an upstand. even more expensive.

Howdens worktop is 616mm, which gives a reasonable lip on 600 cabinets, and their breakfast bar is fairly reasonably priced.

Odd sizes are easier to find in timber than in laminate, eg

also do 660mm laminate, but at =A3178 per length!
