How are your "marble like quartz" kitchen countertops holding up?
Comments (4)My quartz countertops are not technically in the "marble look" list, though people have asked me if they are marble. It has some of the same colors, but not the pattern. I've had them for one year and so far no issues. They look just like the day they were installed. In fact, I just ordered a piece for my island, which has a butcher block piece. One thing I like about mine is that the pattern is such that the seam barely shows. I have also seen my quartz on mid tone wood, dark wood and white cabinets. However, the overall look is warm, so it might not work with a cool gray. In this light it looks cooler: https://www.houzz.com/photos/my-pics-work-in-progress-phvw-vp~58831076 Here you can see some of the warmer tones: https://www.houzz.com/photos/my-pics-work-in-progress-phvw-vp~88667617 This might not be the look for you, but I am pleased with quartz and have no problem recommending quartz countertops....See MoreBlack Marks On Arctic White Quartz Kitchen Countertop

Comments (21)“There is no soapstone exception to the Natural Stone Institute's recommendation for trivet use on all natural stones.” Joseph Corlett - we have seen on this forum and other websites many “experts”, fabricators, stoneyard owners, KDs, etc. who don’t understand soapstone, and moreso, haven’t bothered to educate themselves about it. Lots of posts from people with all kinds of misconceptions or ignorance about soapstone. Like they think soapstone should be sealed (it should not), or that it has the same heat capacity as granites and other stones (its heat capacity is much higher). Either the Natural Stone Institute prefers to make recommendations based on generalizations and would rather not set aside separate instructions about soapstone, or, they don’t know soapstone. Bullets were originally made by pouring molten lead into soapstone forms. Those forms, 200+ years old, are still found intact today....See MoreBrowning on quartz kitchen counterHard water or soap scum?
