8 years agoI had to get home to be able to post it. I cannot save only one page of the PDF; my computer illiteracy shining through. The countertop in question is on page 3--the kitchen. It is the top figure. Thanks for your input. I hope this is big enough.

seams noticeable with caesarstone??
Comments (1)atomics, I recently had Caesarstone Smoky Ash installed. There is one seam and it's right in the middle of my sink cutout. Although it's right in the middle of things, it's only 3" at the near side and about an inch in front of my faucet. So, yes, I can see it, but that's the only seam in the entire counter....See MoreHave caesarstone & Wilsonart questions
Comments (9)Thanks you all so much for all these great responses. I inherited money from my dad & can afford a Caesarstone counter, but do I REALLY want to spend that much money on a countertop? Probably not! Coming down to earth! I'd rather go on a cruise or something. Thanks for warning me about water running off a bullnose easily onto cabs!! Yikes, not good! I guess I've been incredibly fortunate, but all the laminate counters in my dad's house (65 yrs. old) and my house (42 yrs) are practically in perfect condition, and they were abused badly!!! I like the Ora 1/8" full-wrap edge I saw online today - by VT who make post formed laminate counters- it's like a squared slab. Trebuchet - I have met so many installers who are full of it - makes me wonder if there are any honest people left!! You really can't do too much homework on this stuff. I could write a book about all the fiascos & shoddy merchandise I've received!! At this point, I'm surprised to get materials that aren't flawed in some form or fashion!! I bought a quartz (engineered stone) double sink countertop with undermount bowls from HD and it arrived with large chips, which we didn't find until we hauled it upstairs & it weighed a zillion pounds. They sent a replacement weeks later which was installed. After installation, discovered a flaw in a sink bowl @size of a quarter. If the Caesarstone would have these issues, I would freak out after spending thousands!!!!...See Moreto have a seam, or not to have a seam that is the ?
Comments (7)To each his own, but for myself, there would be no question of waiting the extra few days for a seamless installation. Once it is in, you will have to live it for a very long time. Whatever I do for our kitchen is permanent, as this is our last house. The thought of looking at a seam that should not have been there I would probably go out into the garage and hang myself! But that's just me. Every project I have ever done for our home has ended up taking entirely too long, and that's the reason. To the extent that it is possible, I want it to be perfect. And some of it actually is! But all of it is work that has been done to the best of my abilities. If you're already wrapped up with the idea of making it perfect, my recommendation is to continue in that vein. In the long scheme of things, ten days is nothing. But how many times will you kick yourself if you end up with a job you consider inferior?

Comments (16)I saw that pic with the pennies on another thread... Looks great. I think I'm really leaning toward selecting a contractor that will do a straight seam perhaps a few inches in from the corner. How far out of that corner is yours? And what is your edge profile described as? I think on our first install it was called 'eased' and very similar to yours, but I haven't seen that on any of the fabricator websites I've been on....See Moresf_treat
