putting in one-piece engineered stone shower base
Comments (8)"Is it true that there is some kind of difference between the likelihood of leaks with a Silestone shower base (or similar high-quality engineered quartz product from one of their competitors) versus tile?" No, in fact a one-piece base is less likely to leak than the multi-stage waterproofing required of tile. "How do I actually find a contractor who has experience installing these things?" www.homeadvisor.com, or trade associations: www.isfanow.org, www.stonefabricatorsalliance.com "Or if I have to go with a contractor who is otherwise good but has no experience with these things, how do I ensure that they do it properly?" You'll insure that by checking out his reputation. "I am particularly confused because obviously all contractors install single piece tubs everyday, so how different can this actually be?" It's not. If you want "a durable, clean and modern looking white shower without grout" you'll start with a Glacier White Corian Grifform pan. The coved base and wall corners are essentially exclusive to solid surface. Size is no longer an issue. There is no better shower material. You can't cost-effectively cove engineered stone. I've fabricated and installed solid surface shower bases and walls and have written magazine articles about it, so some people think I kinda know a little bit about this....See MoreCambria vs. MSI Quartz
Comments (30)We are so so close to finalizing the cambria sutherland. Our kitchen set up is soft cream cabinets all around and a hale navy island. we liked the gray tones of the sutherland but looking at the actual stone today, got a bit concerned if it will be too blue? we want a timeless countertop that we dont get tired of looking at. The sutherland looks great but would love actual feedback from anyone if it is more gray with slight blue tone or does it bring out more blue when paired with a blue island? any input will be super super helpful....See MoreBridport quartz by Cambria-- has anyone used this?

Comments (14)Parisa...Yes! I love them. When we first got them, I searched the best ways to clean the very rare stains (like when rubbing alcohol hit the orange ink on my Hawaiian rolls and dissolved it into liquid orange stains), and didn't see Magic Erasers among the recommendations. I've used rubbing alcohol (good solvent) to clean it, and when necessary, added baking soda or liquid Bar Keepers Friend, whichever was handier. Never had a stain they didn't remove--sharpie, fruit, ORANGE INK! lol No damage to the finish. They look stunning, and have more subtleties than show in the pictures. They are a dream, very easy care and very easy cleaning. I do find that plated food cools fast on them, which is also true of granite and real marble bc of their density (and high specific heat capacity, for the science nerds, haha). I'm so glad I didn't go for granite a few years ago and be stuck with the looks that I'm now tired of. Marble is not only timeless, but always gorgeous. We get wowed compliments on it, too....See MoreAnyone use cambria armitage quartz
