Pictures of new porcelain slab, marble and travertine look alike
Comments (12)It is 6 mm, so definitely thinner than traditional countertop materials. I realized I forgot to ask about the edge after I left. I'll try and remember to call this week. Personally, I'm not an "early adopter" so I don't think I would use it for a countertop. I would be worried about chipping. I do think it would be a great option for a backsplash or flooring. I guess time will tell!...See MoreSlab Flooring? Neolith? Dekton? Daltile Panoramic?
Comments (1)These large slab tiles are a B!TCH to install! They take MASSIVE AMOUNTS of education by the installer (both the flooring company AND the guy on hands-and-knees doing the job). This is a SUPER HIGH-END finish. This is luxury pure and simple. The biggest issue with these products (all of them) is the slab preparation. Without a stunningly flat slab, the product will crack and fail. They workmanship must be SUPERB. Not just good. Not great. SUPERB. And the flooring company you go with MUST HAVE done several dozen of these floors successfully. That would be my qualifying question. Without several dozen (25+) of these floors under their belt, they are still in the 'learning' phase....See MorePorcelain slab for countertop... anyone have this in their kitchen?
Comments (8)There are innumerable threads about the new porcelain countertops out there. I was attracted to them myself. I learned, however, that it's very hard to find an experienced fabricator to install these. And without an experienced fabricator, they are a total, very expensive disaster. Consider Corian - preferably Glacier White. It's quite inexpensive, is virtually bullet-proof, can be fixed if damaged, shows no seams and it timeless....See MoreQuestions on porcelain slab cost
Comments (7)When there are only 3 reputable diamond cutters in the city, and a bunch of sketchy unlicensed ones, you don't start your engagement ring buying trip with shopping for uncut stones at the wholesale market. You shop the skill of the cutters first, and then ask their input in who carries the best uncut stones. Better still, tell them the results you want, and have them suggest and purchase the raw materials. They are responsible for the outcome then. If you bring them questionable off brand products, youre going to have the agree to be responsible for it shattering if it’s terrible quality. Only fabricators can give you prices, because the material cost is virtually irrelevant. The $100+ a square foot cost of this is mostly about labor costs. There are darn few certified fabricators who are authorized to fabricate them. Start there. You’re starting at the wrong end of the project....See Morextacie11
