Which laminate countertops to go with feature quartzite countertop?
Comments (8)We are still waiting for the sink we ordered, unfortunately (one that we found thanks to the people on this forum) :-( I totally understand that the splurge comment. If we were doing everything at once we wouldn't be able to do this, but this project has been in the works for many years! I told my husband that it has to completed this year, or else, lol.

Comments (2)I'm no expert, but there are some useful threads on quartzite - see this one, for example: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/countertop-geology-part-5-marble-quartzite-and-other-favorites-dsvw-vd~2438427?n=165 One thing I do know is that stone shops often mislabel softer stones as quartzite, so you want to be sure what you have is actually a true quartzite, and not something like Super White, which is often called a quartzite but isn't....See MoreNew house and cracked tah mahal quartzite counter top

At the very least, you should not use the same installer for any replacement if at all possible....See MoreWhere to cut and seam my quartzite counter top? (fabrication question)
Comments (2)Because of the pattern difference on that stone I don't see an angle cut working too easily. It might require another slab. I'd want to approve the layout and how it looked after fabrication at the shop before delivery/install. No sense bringing it out if it isn't right. Non-negotiable for me.
