Pental quartz -only in CA and NJ?

After seeing a mention of this brand in another thread, I looked it up. Nice selection of colors and patterns, plus I see it being offered at a really low price by at least one shop in Sun Valley --- has anyone else used this quartz, and does anyone know of a source for the Midwest?

There is a distributor lookup on the Pental home page (www.pentalquartz.com), it looks like there is one in Denver. But they seem to be mostly west coast right now.

I went with them because they had the exact solid shade I was looking for (Coastal Grey). Ours were pretty inexpensive too and the fabricator did a great job. Still finishing our remodel, so we haven't really used it yet. But very happy so far.

I couldn't find a fabricator in Virginia and they never responded to my emails asking...

Trueform Concrete sinks

I am getting bids for 3 concrete sink/vanities for my bathrooms...the integrated sinks on a longish vanity as pictured in some of Trueform's pix. I don't know about Trueform as a company but here in California, there is usually a concrete "guy", "company" who makes these in every area. My concrete guy does it all custom and adds shells, brass gears, flecks of gold, all sorts of stuff to the counter/sinks which personalize them. Since I live near the beach this is appealing to me...the shells and abalone flecks. I believe they are quite a bit more expensive than say quartz counters, but are sturdy and look great. I'm just not sure if this is too trendy a thing or what. Did Trueform suggest this mounting with steel brackets? Concrete is very heavy and needs substantial support. Hollie

Chroma Quartz Countertops--like or dislike??
Q
Comments (10)
I agree, it's all about the color! The manufacturing & warranties seem to be similar for all the "quartz" products. My perimeter counters are Chroma's "porfido". It doesn't look anything like the on-line sample, but it's a rich, reddish, brown & verrry subtle...just what I was looking for. It is polished, but not as shiny as the granite on my island. Because of the dark color & lots of windows, every drop of water shows at the sink, but that was expected & I actually kinda like obsessing over it! It's been a year since it was installed & 9 months in use in a busy kitchen. I've not babied it either. I'm messy & clumsy (deadly combo) & it's still perfect.

Toepytoe, Aliris19,Catlover5 and Twinmommy77: Thank you all for your replies and apologies to the first three named for my late response. I didn't even know you had posted something on the 19th...until today, when I was looking at the forum and noticed my thread up there, after Twinmommy77 replied. I'll have to check and see how I can get notified as soon as a response is posted to any questions I ask here. Wow, Twinmommy77, that quote *is* insane! Glad your uncle came through..I could use a relative like him :-). Catlover5: I'm so happy you got such a great price on your installation after all those wildly differing estimates! Toepytoe: Oh, you must be so relieved! I dread this part of any project - can get so frustrating at times.I'm glad it worked out well for you :-). Aliris19: Thanks..the price seems to be in the ballpark for SoCal installation costs. I still think it's expensive, though :-).

Caesarstone Honed Pebble - Photos, please
Q
Comments (22)
Thanks - Headed over to your new thread now. Our update: Saw the polished pebble and ruled it out - didn't feel right for our home. Now leaning toward marble lookalikes, but eliminated Frosty Carrina from the running - veins too subtle. Very impressed with Calacutta Nuvo and also Pental Onixaa. Both look very realistic, but the Pental might be too greyish. Pental had some fabulous honed surfaces in colors similar to Pebble, but like Caesarstone, they warn about stains and fingerprints. Our indecision has led to a delay in our very small project. We are now waiting until Jan because we can't get the hood for our Bluestar hood until mid Dec. In a way I'm relieved because a) it will be less stressful without a kitchen after the holidays and b) new products seem to be coming out every day.

Pental is just a distributor of a Vietnamese-made quartz. The company name is Vicostone. There is at least one other distributor in Texas who puts their name on it.

I have Botticino and in general I'm happy with it. My slabs don't have any resin pooling like Caesarstone and Cambria and the slabs look just like the samples.

It might not be easy to get Pental in the Midwest right now. Apparently Cambria is suing Pental for copyright infringement in a Minnesota court.

It looks like there may be an informal agreement between Pental and a company called Damar Natural Stone to sell some Pental products in the Midwest. But the relationship is getting some scrutiny due to the lawsuit, so it might not be publicly advertised. More here.

Oh, didn't we have a spam thread about this product a few months ago?

Well, I won't be able to, so no worries about whether I should look at it further.

May_flowers: Can you post a picture of your Pental Quartz Botticino? I am considering it for bathroom counters.

Thanks so much!

My photo shows Caesarstone Buttermilk, but it's the same color as Botticino. We had to pull the Buttermilk counters because of damage on install, and then we got Botticino instead. We've just never taken updated photos since getting Botticino because we are waiting to do our backsplash.

The pattern is slightly different than Botticino, but as you know, it's very subtle and won't show in a photo. I thought the pic of the peninsula would give you the closest idea of how it will look on a vanity. We almost used our leftover pieces for a dark-stained cherry vanity, but we decided to do granite for something different. We really love our counters.

Saw Pental Quartz in Tobacco color at a cabinet maker shop which caught my eye.
I can not find a local store that carries it...
Like to get another quote.

Can anyone recommend a store that displays Pental Quartz?
I have written Pental but as of yet they haven't repled.

Vicostone website doesn't have anything similar in color.
