Anyone used LG Viatera Minuet in a Bathroom?

7 years ago

I'm looking at it for the countertops and shower bench in our new home under construction, but having a hard time finding vendors who have this color in the area where we are building. I was hoping Home Depot would have it since they sell by the square foot, but that is not a color they carry.

I still would love to see photos of anyone who has used it in a bathroom.

I was going to use Minuet but went with Soprano. A little warmer and softer which worked better for us. Minuet is beautiful too. We found another place other than HD that would do many quartz by the SF. If we would have gone with Minuet we could have gotten a remnant piece and the price would've been about half. Here is a pic right after the install.

Yes, my new bathroom has a Viatera Minuet vanity top. It looks great with the white cabinets and matches well with the floor tiles (from the Tile Shop). While I was planning the bathroom I found a photo online of Minuet on a dark brown vanity, and that looked great too. I got a remnant from a local granite fabricator, paid half-price for it.

I have a black with gold fleck Viatera. It's completely care-free and tough. It never needs sealing. Compared to granite it's much more uniform in color, so you don't get any natural variance, which may or may not be to your liking. I also don't think it has the same gleam as granite but I don't care about that. I suppose you could wax it or something. Quartz is harder than granite too, so you don't need to pussy-foot around it with knives and tools and hot pots. Plus, haven't you heard, granite is radioactive. :) Here is a link that might be useful: What's Lurking in Your Counter

@designsaavy, I love my marble, but to be honest, I am pretty careful with it - probably more so than I have to be! My main concern is etching; if you have a really good sealer and pick up spills fairly quickly, staining shouldn't be a huge issue. My daughter sits and eats at our island sometimes, and we haven't had any issues. We do have a few etch spots, but I can't even see them unless I lean down and look from a particular angle. I would definitely recommend getting honed marble over polished, which helps hide any "patina." :)

Ceaserstone Calcatta Nuvo 5131 or LG Viatera Minuet?

I have a nice size sample of the Calcutto Nuvo that i ordered. Really nice looking and its one of my top choices for my remodel. Do you mind asking how much you are getting quotes for this? It sounds like your fabricator is taking the easy way out, plenty of people buy this style @homechef- could you expand on not mixing quartz with natural backsplash. Plenty of people use engineered counter tops. are you telling me that no of those customers ever use natural stone tile? I am thinking of going with quartz and marble tile/backsplash. I'm a novice so please assist

Arlandria, I know this is SN older post but what brand are your cabinets? I'm wondering how the white of cabinets we are considering look with Minuet. Yours look beautiful!
