Anything I should know about my new marble countertop?
Comments (1)YES! Do not let any alcohol touch it, mouthwash, perfume, etc. Glass trays are nice to set things on to prevent rings. If you are using the space very hard and hurried, you may want to consult a marble expert for advise about a stronger sealer. Your discription sounds so beautiful, peach is my favorite but I haven't found much, more pink everywhere. Mine is white crystaline with pale grey, peach and coffee with cream grains. It is soft and I must be very careful but do not mind at all, for the beauty! Do you have a photo to share?...See MoreMy new marble countertops have oil spots!
Comments (3)Ratrem, I can't figure out how to post photos. I'm not very techy. And don't have a photo bucket anything. The spots aren't big. About the size of a dime. The fabricator mentioned that this stone was the softest he has ever worked with. That leads me to wonder if it just needs more sealing. If so, I'd much prefer to use the 511 you all think so highly of, but wonder if there would be any reaction to the two coats of SB? Thanks so much for any advise you can give me!...See MoreI Hate My New Marble-Like Countertops
Comments (39)I am going through the same thing with my bathroom. The quartz is horrible. It looks beige against my white, brand new cabinets. It also has horrible black specs on it that look like bugs. I spent so much money on it and I am so disappointed in it. Like you, it was supposed to be white with gray veining. I saw the entire slab. I even took a photo of it and got a sample to take home. I can’t seem to get a straight answer from anyone and it’s incredibly disappointing to look at in my otherwise gorgeously renovated master bathroom. In terms of lighting, there is mostly natural light in here so a lighting suggestion is not going to be a viable solution....See MoreAnyone have pics of old marble kitchen countertops, stains and all?
Comments (8)I've got one long run of marble countertop in my kitchen and a marble vanity top in my bathroom--both honed. There may be minor etching, but if so I don't even notice it. I think it all really boils down to how laid back you are vs how compulsive you are and if you want a showcase kitchen or a truly used kitchen. About a month ago I was concerned about a yellowed ring from a soap dispenser on my bathroom top. I tried cleaning it but it was still visible (to me). Within a couple days it had disappeared. Perhaps some of these things just balance out after time. FWIW a few years ago we visited Ostia Antica which is about 30 miles outside of Rome and used to be the seaport for the city. One of the ruins there is a 2000 year old tavern kitchen. Guess what the counters were? They are still around with a bit of patina....See MoreJoseph Corlett, LLC
