Please show me your cultured marble/granite shower surround!
Comments (2)We chose Corian Egyptian Copper for our shower surround under the glass and in the doorway and for the bath vanity. We had corian in the old house and were very happy with it. The shower seat is also corian...we talked to a lot of folks who had granite seats and they all complained how cold it was. Corian is much warmer, but we did need to have special supports made for the seat as it's not structural....See Moreshow me your Silestone or Caesarstone shower niche
Comments (3)Hi kas4. It's too bad no\-one ever replied to this. We are about to do the very same thing. Using Caesarstone for our tub surround and wanting to put in two niches. Work will be starting very soon and we need to decide. Did you end up with the niches? If so, are you happy with the result? How do you like the quartz for a surround? If you did niches, where the slab opening was cut, did you have slightly rounded corners, or could they cut right angle cuts??...See MoreShow me your 2 cm. granite, please
Comments (2)There was a thread on this about 3 weeks ago, discussing whether you'd have to laminate or not, and a lot of it has to do with how your cabinets are done. (2cm cabs require plywood, and is that plywood stuck on the top, so its edge must be hidden, or is it integral with the cabinet, so there is no edge to hide, therefore lamination less needed?) For the latter, I suspect you'd need custom to semi custom cabinets. That is how my cabinets were done, but I still had the granite laminated, because I wanted a beefy edge. I did not ask if it could be done otherwise. Here's 2cm granite with a laminated edge:...See MoreShow me your Giallo Napoleon granite countertops
Comments (17)Hi Nursetammi, I went to check out some granite slabs on Friday and decided on the New Venetian Gold. I loved the slabs. It has lots of garnet specks in it which looks good with my cabinets. It also has black in it to tie in with the black island I'm going to get made. It was very confusing because they didn't have Giallo Napoleon and the New Venetian Gold sample that I received from another granite place looked nothing like the New Venetian Gold that I picked out. I would have thought maybe it could have passed for Santa Cecilia, but they had that color there and it wasn't the same as the sample that I received either. I'm glad I wasn't set on one color. Lesson learned is that the color you pick might not be the color you think it is at the warehouse. The guy at the warehouse showed me some other New Venetian Gold slabs that were from a different lot than the one that I picked and it looked way different. It wasn't as gold and it had more grey. Anyway, I'm probably about a month away from getting my granite because the kitchen island is currently being made. I will post pictures when I'm done. Please post pictures of your project when you are done -- I'd love to see it. Good luck!...See Morepprioroh
