Next up...backsplash! Opinions please!
Comments (5)Okay, I can see the beauty in the all white subways (hey, I just did my bathroom in all white subways and cabs), but just yesterday I was thinking if I ever had another kitchen to do I'd do all white cabs with these gorgeous hand made subways that come in the most beautiful colours you have ever seen. I think pomagranit would be my choice. Or maybe gerbera, but dublin is so beautiful ... I'm sure you won't do this, but just had to throw it out there. Here is a link that might be useful: handmade subways...See MoreWhite. White! White?
Comments (45)I'm not sure of the warranty to be honest (Sorry I just saw your post now for some reason). All I know is that TCE has the same (approximate) ratio of Quartz to Resin as the "bigger" quartz guys (ie. Caesarstone, Silestone, etc). I was afraid because of where it was manufactured it would have less actual quartz in it, but I found out they use about the same percentage (approx 93%). I was also talking to an installer who has dealt with all the brands, and he said people are very happy with their TCE products and that they hold up really, really well. So that put my mind at ease! I think like with any of the engineered stone products, you need to exercise some caution (ie. not cut beets directly on the counter, not leave red wine sitting there for long periods of time) but in general it's much more durable and resistant to staining than a marble!...See Morediluting same white paint color for walls to use on ceiling too?
Comments (15)As for diluting color . . . You cannot simply cut the colorants without understanding the base color and what the colorant is. Example. I have a can of paint here that has 4.25 / 32 Y3 Oxide Yellow 5 / 32 S1 Black 12.125 / W1 White 2.5 / 32 R3 Oxide Red in Base 2 If I cut the formula in 1/2 the white also gets cut in half and I will end up with a color that is darker, not lighter than the original formula. The computer systems are literally doing the math, but not all colorants are equal in strength - red it more transparent than most other colors, yellow is weaker than many other colors, so getting the mix right can be difficult. If you really want a lighter color that is between two shades it can be done, but I generally will buy a sample of the lighter shade and the darker shade and find out if they are both mixed with the same base. If they are in the same base you can play with the colors and mix the lighter and darker colors in different ratios until you find the perfect shade. I use syringes to measure the amounts so I am sure that the ratio is measured accurately. Then I do my own math to determine the amount of each colorant used in the samples and provide the paint store with the base color and the formula that has resulted in the color I want. If they are in two different bases you can do the same thing, but you will need to buy the appropriate amount of each paint and mix them together in a 5 gallon pail with an paint mixer drill attachment or ask the paint store to mix using their mixer. The same applies if you are trying to get a color that is just a tinge more green or yellow or blue than another. Tools like easyrgb have made a lot of this unnecessary - I can find a similar color in another brand and have it matched by my BM or SW paint store....See MoreCORIAN Sparkling White, Glacier white, designer white
Comments (3)Thanks all. I priced the corian and it cost more than quartz or marble!!!! When I asked how could rhat be,, the fabricator told me that they no longer sell it, but he could source it for me, but due to low demand, I would have to buy an entire slab of it for the price of $3,200. Real thassos marble would have only cost me $1,400! i ended ip just getting the quatrz replaced . Tried to find the slab with the least black imperfections, but they still have them . Would never buy quartz again. Burns me up that I paid for it. feels like the feeling you get after paying for a lousy meal at a restaurant. 😡...See MoreBunny
