Visible seams on mitred quartz worktop
Comments (3)I am a fabricator. Properly done the seam on a mitered edge in engineered stone ("quartz") or natural stone is a hairline that is nearly invisible particularly if the grain of the stone is homogeneous. I have a sample bar top in my showroom that customers don't recognize is a mitered piece until I show them. That said, not all shops have the expertise or the commitment to quality to deliver a product as described above....See Morechipped mitre edge countertop
Comments (32)I am a fabricator. Unfortunately, when working with a natural product sometimes it doesn't cooperate. Repairs are common and a good fabricator will do it such that the end user will never recognize it as a repaired area. In this instance I think a really good fabricator could make a repair that would be acceptable assuming some of the original material is still available. The fab shop dug a hole for themselves by letting a poor repair out the door. Properly done, it would've been repaired in the fab shop (where it's much easier to do) and the homeowner would have no complaint....See MorePros and Cons of Thick Mitred Edge Quartz Counters?
Comments (4)This hinges on two questions: material quality and fabricator skill. I went with Silestone when I did my built-up mitred counters in five rooms (five years ago) and have had no chipping. But that's because my fabricator was great and does solid-surface work only. Ensure you get a great result by working with a fabricator who comes highly recommended, who creates a full physical template of your counter plan, and who understands your expectations about finish quality and durability. Do your homework and you can work together for lasting results that will stand the test of time. Cheers!...See MoreWhite dots on new quartz countertop edge
