The kitchen that we had rough sketched out  has a pair of longish runs at 90 degrees to each other. The longest run would be 4.2 metres.

It turns out that stone of any flavour only comes in a maximum of 3.5 metres and usually no more than 3.2 metres.

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad of having worktops in stone joined please. It does not seem like a great idea to me.

Thanks in advance

Our last house had two joins. They were where the L turn was in both corners so we had the longest run possible on the longest side of the kitchen. It wasn’t an issue and I never really noticed it. 

Thanks guys

 

It wasn't unsightly on mottled granite. Would have it done again without hesitation.

If you get it installed by a decent installer, they will use a composite which closely matched the predominant colour of the stone, and give you a 0.6mm join which is hardly noticeable.
