  • Total kitchen beginner here. Can anyone suggest to me what material this worktop is? There's no visible joint at the L, is it one piece?

  • that is the strangest sink situation I have ever seen. Is that normal to expose the side of a top mounted sink like that?

  • Are you looking at the pictures to determine the material? A well made worktop joint shouldn't show up unless you are inspecting it very closely. The actual join if it's a laminate type material will not run straight along from the edge of the worktop, worktop jigs have a pattern to them like a hockey stick so the join is about 20mm from the angle where the worktops meet.

    The way the sink is set suggests some type of laminate or a material that prohibited the designer placing the sink under the worktop. You may be able to spot some signs of the ends of the worktop being a stick on laminate. If it's solid it looks like corian or quartz but the photos are not high res enough to tell.

    I'm not aware of any worktops that would be available in 1 piece in that design. Storage and transport would be an issue and most kitchens don't have exactly 90 degree right angles so each worktop join gets cut specifically to suit the walls. I suppose it could be templated and delivered but you might struggle to get them in a lot of rooms!
