Laminate questions -- beveled or square edge?
Comments (2)Hi Nancy, We have Wilsonart beveled edge in our living room and square edge in the bedrooms. We really like the look of the beveled edge and it is no harder to keep clean than the square edge. We are very happy with laminate flooring....See MoreGranite Edge - 1/2 bullnose or 1/4 bevel?
Comments (35)Just got a new countertop and, carelessly, I kind of thought I was all set to get a straight edge based on my pre-install conversation with the measurer. But sure enough, my contract states 1/2 bullnose. I prefer eased, as one of the previous posters. It's what I had in my previous location. I do have a functional peninsula which has a large overhang and my agent is trying to convince me it's more practical and it turned out this way for the best. And I admit, I can't quite see it being an eased edge, with its arced shape. I also found this article: http://www.kitchenbathdesign.com/879/reasons-to-round-over-your-square-sharp-edges/ which argues 1/2 bullnose or similar is the way to go, from a functional standpoint. There's not post-installation straightening that can be applied? Maybe I'll learn to like it. At least the inside of my sink is an eased edge....See MoreTell me about wood-look floor--bevel vs square edge, plank width etc.
Comments (25)Living with my Karndean Warm Ash 9" planks for 2 months. Its very pretty, love 9" and the color. I was going for exactly whT the OP was goung for and the look is right. But. Has no bevel. Not Into cleaning, the idea of any bevel sounded gross with my not so often cleaning. Wish I had done a micro bevel if it was avail. Didnt even consider and wish I had. Prof install, Karndean is not maybe the best but decent brand......the ends of the planks stick up just a tiny bit. Most noticeable when walking down the hallway as the planks are laid Ling. Really distracting. And of course I can't imagine it not chipping. Really sad, super expensive small new build. Other thoughts, I hate the grain in lvp. although I went with a very minimal grain, again the idea if dirt building up in the grin was gross. But even with minimal grain you notice if you Re sweeping with or against the grain. You have to sweep with the grain. I have soft spots that you can feel give. Drives me nuts. No noise, just give. Btw that and the flex in in the trex I feel like I'm living in a fun house mystery spot. Wish I had gone glue down but assumed it was some cheap way to go. It can be fixed, click cannot. No give....See Morecan quartzite be beveled to a custom thickness?
Comments (15)Thanks for your suggestions. Shelves had to be installed on bare walls due to the nature of the floating shelves, I had to remove the drywall and block between the studs for my cabinetmaker to make the shelves as sturdy as I wanted them to be with our 1/3 design we came up with. Now if I removed the shelves and tiled under them, the shelves would need to be remade as they are perfectly flush w cabinets. It's cheaper for me to get the tiler to work around those rectangles (they do it all the time) than to have my cabinetmaker remake the shelves. Nothing has been ideal with this renovation due to the demand versus supply of contractors around here. My cabinetmaker is a primadonna so it had to be done that way. It's a miracle I got him to build those shelves at all. I went back and forth on doing the tile first and decided that the chances of them breaking tiles was too high so I went this direction. Plus we can't do the tile before the counters and I am waiting waiting waiting for the fabricator.... The tiler should not have problems tiling around the shelves (although it would be more challenging for me) but it would be a bitch to tile around the hood and since the hood is easy to remove and adjust a few cm out we are moving that for him. I interviewed a guy today. As far as the design, it sounds busy but it will all tie together. Here are some examples of different tiles used in backsplashes. My house has a ton of light so the only thing left white will be the floors and the ceiling. The countertop is light gray. Ubiquitous white is just way too wholesome for my house. I will not have contrasting grout lines whatever tile I choose- seeing all those rectangles like in the pics below gives me a headache. But I won't choose the tile yet until I see how the rest is coming together. Most likely it will NOT be a subway tile....See Morejanepa
