Bianco Antico owners - does yours have nicks and /or does it chip
Comments (3)We didn't have any trouble until we put the house up for sale. Of course. That's when my son opened a cabinet and a bunch of dishes fell out, taking out a piece of the edge. Super glued it back on. Then my dh was putting a wine bottle in the recycling under the sink and wacked the edge and another chip... We used super glue gel. When it hardens, take a razor blade and cut off excess. Never could feel it or see it. And yes, the mica that is in it sometimes if on the edge can completely fall out....See MoreFlagstone coping...cut edge or chipped on deck side?
Comments (1)I've seen both done, depends on your taste really. I personally like straight cut when joining unlike materials, but I like a contemporary look. Chisel chip is more labor intensive and the mark of a good stone mason, read that more $ ! Best of luck, Barb...See MoreChipping and edge detail issues for granite and quartz
Comments (9)Thank you Oldryder, What about the edge around the undermount sink? If I am understanding you correctly, that edge needs to be finished by hand in order for it to hold up against chips. Am I correct? My sister had Hanstone installed, and has a huge chip along the edge of the opening to the sink. I think I love Quartz, but want to avoid this issue. So if I understand you correctly, it really comes down to the fabricator. I'm also not sure if I know if the fabricator is different from the installer. So much to learn....See MoreEased edge counters - owners/stone pros - chipping? regrets?
Comments (11)I wish that were possible, Joseph, but they are honing and cutting for install next Tuesday. Doubtful they could get a bit in time, if they were willing to buy a bit at all, and I'm not willing to delay the timeline. I stopped at the fabricators again. Their eased edge is barely eased, a 1/16" at most so it's really square and sharper than I'd like. I'd much rather something between 1/8" and 3/8" but that's not possible, unfortunately. We chose this fabricator because they could hone slabs for us at a reasonable cost and their seams are incredible (as is their reputation). The co-owner told me that 80% of their customers chose 1/2" top radius with crescent the next popular choice. The only customers who chose their eased edge have very modern kitchens. That's not us. So, after all this angst, we'll likely go with the top radius. It's nearly the same as the 3/8" radius we put in 2 bathrooms and we like it there. 1/8" really won't be that noticeable after all is said and done. It won't make or break our kitchen....See Morechocolatebunny123
