2 cm vs 3 cm soapstone
Comments (2)I am a fabricator. in my area the difference is minimal. a slight savings on material even less on labor. the only advantage to 2cm I see would be for the installer. Lighter to carry. The only advantage to 3cm for you would be greater overhang without support. the biggest difference is the look. 3cm is the most popular choice here...See More2cm or 3cm for Quartz
Comments (2)The difference with quartz is that the manufacturer warranty it and installers are certified by that manufacturer and must use their specifications and requirements so the warranty is good. They won't give you the same leeway to come up with unique solutions sometimes. I would contact Zodiac and find out what requirements they give their installers for that size and type of overhang and then work from there. You can probably find a telephone number or email on their website. Sue...See More2 cm Silestone vs 3 cm?
Comments (9)"Seek and ye shall find; ask and ye shall receive." Ten hours ago I posted " Plywood is incapable of applying constant upward pressure on a sink as straps on sinks do. And replacing the sink would be a nightmare." Well I went to work and my nightmare has come true. This sink, undermounted in 2cm stone, is supported by plywood and is leaking like a sieve. I don't know when I've seen a worse topical caulk job. A knife slides easily between the sink flange and the bottom of the stone. That leaking is contributing to the failing seam. If it leaks enough to rust a steel reinforcement rod, it can blow the front rail off and crack the rear. There's a dishwasher to the left and a wash machine to the right (small condo) that will have to be pulled so I can Rotozip the cabinet sides to gain access to the plywood so I can remove it to remove the sink. I'll have to patch the cabinet sides back together, install the sink harness or straps, remake the seams, and reinstall the sink and appliances. I'm practically writing my proposal in this post. I can change a strapped sink in an hour and a quarter. I'm going to propose a Kohler K-3942 as an alternative. The appliances could stay, no cabinet alterations, and the existing sink, plywood and all, would be cut out from the top. I won't have to make the front seam either. This bachelor likes stainless steel apron sinks. Wish me luck please. And never, ever, use plywood to support a sink....See More2cm vs 3cm quartz countertops
Comments (1)No, not if it's done properly. If the front edge is 2cm, there is no need for a sub top. If the front edge is 2cm with a 2cm build up, the build up can continue around the sink edge so no sub top will be visible. Here is a 2 cm top with a built up front edge with no build up at the sink:...See Moregpraceman55
