Counter top layout advice needed please!
Comments (1)I always go with the standard Eased edge for countertops. I think if you had that you'd be fine but if you counter edges have a crisp/sharp 90 degree square edge, then you might want it rounded off a bit....See MorePlease show me the overhang for your mitered edge countertop

Comments (22)Hillside House, thank you for the comments and suggestions. We're meeting with the fabrication company tomorrow, and I will discuss options with them. You've given me something to go with. oldryder, we were told that the fabricator's focus would be matching up the veining, and that for that reason we had to have two slabs. There's really quite a bit left, and when we look at the counter that's there it's clear that simply by turning the long piece with the sink 180 degrees the colors and vein directions would have matched better. I think that he simply didn't pay enough attention. 2ManyDiversions, I would love to tell you that the serpentine is fine for cooking, and so far so good, but it's only been a week. I also cook a lot (that's what's a kitchen is for, right?) and I was told that durability was a strength of leathered rainforest. It is true that it's not as hard as granite, but it's not as soft as marble, so it doesn't stain, and it's so diverse in its patterning that incidental scratches don't show. I really do love its look! My husband, who cooks with me, is also in love with it. He actually stands in the kitchen and talks about how much he likes the colors and patterns! We're moving to this from late 70's early 80's Formica, so it's a huge (and welcome) change. I bought a clear plastic cutting board--I would never cut directly on the countertop--and I tend to "clean as I go" so I'm not too worried about staining. I truly wish that I'd seen the whole template layout; you can probably avoid this issue if you choose serpentine by paying completer attention....See MoreHelp! Countertop Disaster!
