Granite countertop and island--How do I make a final decision???
Comments (4)I am confused that is is called green, yet on your "more views" green is not mentioned in the description. Be that as it may, in going by the description, I don'think you can go wrong with this slab. It has many neutral colors. My suggestion would be to start thinking about the backsplash too. Here is where many of us have had the most difficulty. Do you have an inspiration kitchen? Have you checked the finished kitchen blog and the backsplash slide show? Just a suggestion for a bit dow the road....See MoreAntiqued Titanium Granite Counter Top
Comments (4)I love that!! I don't think there is any difference in durability/upkeep according to my fabricator. Maybe you could call a couple of fabricators and see what they say about it. That's a beautiful slab above hope you find "the one" you love!...See MoreDecision, Decisions, Decision, aka, Countertop Advice Needed
Comments (5)Tropic brown, tan brown are two others. There are very dark golds like Juparana Tobacco or Paradiso which might work. You might also consider something like teak wood. Etching leaves white marks. On a brown marble it will be very visible. For fun, I got a two buck pink marble tile from the box store and had "science" when I was trying to decide about counters. Science consisted of pouring a small qty of lemon-lime soda on a bit of the marble and seeing if I could get it off before it etched. The answer was NO! I would suggest you spend a couple bucks to get a tile similar to what you want to use and have your own science project....See Moregranite counter-top seams ... are we being too picky?
Comments (44)These are my pics of my countertops placed Friday June 22, 2018. I cried looking at these seams. It looks so cheap. Fabricator explains that's the way it comes. I explained that I shouldn't be able to see the seams so clearly. It looks so unprofessional. They ended up taking them back to their warehouse. In hopes they say if it is quality control will try and fix it just to make it look better. Otherwise I will have to pay an additional fee for them to come out again to install. I just don't know what to do and if still looks the same. This is the first time I've replaced my counters in 24 years. I don't and can't live with it. looking at this for another 24 years. It looks so cheap and it really was not it's a lot of money to me. I hope fingers crossed that they will fix this problem. They never told me that there would be such seams. I thought the edges were done by a machine and it would be all one piece. I have read up on this and now understand there are seams. But now I do know that they should not look like this. If they are good fabricator you shouldn't be able to see them so clearly. I will find out next week what happens....See MoreBeth H. :
