Curved countertop design, with waterfall??! Help please :)
Comments (51)Hi Nileen, As a Kitchen Designer I would say check with your Cambria supplier on this design, countertops can be very tricky. Some countertop designs just don't work the way people think, the curve may not work well with the waterfall. You are spending a lot of money, Cambria isn't cheap, so be sure that your countertop will be sound. Your supplier/fabricator should know, generally if a design won't work they let you know and discuss your options. It looks as though you will have seating there, if so the curve may have an impact on that. If I were you and your supplier okays it then I would go for a more subtle curve or an inverted curve (curving outward instead). You also need to think about your budget as this will add an extra cost (the curve) for fabricating your countertop. I hope this was helpful...See MoreWaterfall bar countertop yes or no?
Comments (12)A waterfall counter is a very modern look. Sticking a waterfall on decidedly non-modern cabinets just looks bad. Its even worse putting a waterfall counter on old tired looking cabinets. It highlights how tired the cabinets look and how badly they need to be replaced. The worst is putting a waterfall on partial overlay cabinets....See MoreQuartz waterfall countertop support with only cabinet on one side
Comments (11)You need a complete steel subframe that is then clad by a mitered stone outer skin. Expensive as all get out for that much stone and customization. High end designer shepherded and coordinated between all 5 of the trades involved in the result. Section details out the wazoo. One of the big things that isn’t showing on those pics is is compliance with the current 2020 NEC requirements that mandates outlets at both ends of the island. Among other photoshopped out inconvenient support details. None of this is 1.98 DIY accomplishable. That silly pony wall hack is a failure waiting to happen. The slightest bit of lateral pressure and it will cave like a house of cards. Compression is not the only engineering force that has to be designed against. Most houses collapse in earthquakes because of shear. Any lateral force applied to that is magnified by the weight its attempting to support in compression. In other words, the top heaviness of it makes it much more dangerous when someone bumps against it sideways....See Morequartzite large island countertop issues- book match and stain
Comments (32)We just experienced this similar issue. The salesman led us to believe for months that the quartzite slab we wanted was long enough (over 126") and even taped it off and marked it with masking tape, and labled it sink. The unmatched colors and lines are disappointing, just to the right of the sink, and whoever is cooking sees it immediately. We signed off on the 'last minute seam job' as we were told the unmatched piece was used for a different counter, but the photo they showed us did not represent how bad it would look. I think they may have broken the full piece in fabricating and last minute substituted the other piece. Problem is we're on a tight schedule to tile and stone the walls and they do not have any more of the same quartzite material. We have another issue with another counter (see below photo) where the backsplash was to run left to right at eye level and then make a 90 deg turn to the right. Unfortunately, someone made the decision to instead, extend the counter up the wall and it doesn't flow with the backsplash! Thirdly we have a 3 tiered Dekton center island and the single plane photo they had us approve looked nothing like the final product! When over 75% of the job is flawed we don't want these folks back in our home and the time to replace eveything is not possible with paid contractors lined up to finish the job. We have all documentation of the faulty job. They offered to pay us a consolement fee of $1,000 and two granite 'cutting boards' (which will destroy our fine knives) to hide one of the seams! How do we fairly compute the damages on a $24,000 job to discount the job respectfully?...See More- 5 years ago
