How much to expect to pay for wrapping a 8Wx12H fireplace in book-matched thin slab ? Approximately, in Dallas?

15K, labor and materials.

Thinking of using large porcelain slabs for a fireplace. Anyone know good, qualified installers in the Atlanta area? Also, there are so many, any thoughts on which are the best quality? Need XL.
Thanks!

I was wandering how you create the right drainage with large tile on shower pan, at least is what it looks like on alopwz56 picture. Old Ryder, can you create a 4’x5’ shower pan with the correct drainage and would quartz be slip safe to use as shower pan?

Not sure what "slip sale quartz" is. On most materials a 3CM slab can be machined to create a dish shaped profile with the deepest spot at the hole for the drain. It's not particularly difficult (although it is very time consuming) to create the "dish" if you have a good CNC and a good programmer. talent comes in when you take the processed piece and by hand polish the area that has been machined. Sometimes the machined area is simply left alone as the machine surface would be significantly less slippery than polished. It is also possible to machine ridges into the shower pan while creating the "dish".

I am sorry, what I was trying to ask was “would quartz be slip safe to use as shower pan?”

"would quartz be slip safe to use as shower pan?" Yes. Discuss options for making the shower pan "slip safe" with your fabricator.

Does anyone have any recommendations for fabricators and installers in Charleston, SC?

Can any installers out there tell me how thick the porcelain slab should be for a fireplace to avoid the risk of cracking from the heat? Below is the pic of my basement fireplace awaiting a slab. General contractors tell me to go thicker like 1/2", whereas the stone retailer tells me 1/4" would be fine.

Any showrooms, fabricators and installers in Los Angeles area?

Jim G. The substrate becomes part of the tile when bonded correctly. We have installed a few fireplaces with the center of the tile cut out with great success in 1/4” slabs. From this picture you posted the substrate is installed incorrectly. You should not have a seam in the corner, sometimes the install manual for the fireplace will show the correct method for the substrate as well. All the strength in the tile comes from what it is set on. Inside cuts simply require an educated installer to get it right without having further issues.

Don’t do it. Or be prepared for installation cost greater than materials plus order double (if vein- match kits). They are incredibly hard to fabricate and install. My dreams have literally been broken in this process.

@astase sorry to hear about your experience. It's extremely unfortunate you had an inexperienced Installer to execute professionally. I can assure you a talented & most qualified outfit. To generalize an open statement to the masses is unfair to those who can execute successfully. If you'd like, I can help direct you to the most qualified installers. We can help you link up with with manufacturer

I’d love to hear more from you, because I truly had a dream that is now a nightmare. I ordered from Mirage Italy through a local high-end tile company. It took forever to get them, and I had to pay extra for delivery. They never told me the install cost more than double the materials, or that only TWO installers in New Orleans do these. And then they break during fabrication.
