Need advice on 'integrated' vanity tops...
Comments (7)Well, you either like the matte finish of Corian/Swanstone or not, I guess. We love it, and our 20-yr old Swanstone integrated vanity still looks new despite hard usage. As you like a glossier surface, you might want to look into cultured granite. Available at most cultured marble shops, it has more particulate in the resin, but because of the clear gelcoat has a slightly glossier appearance than Corian/Swanstone, although it looks so similar most people who see our CG double vanity think it's Corian. Wears very well (of course, absolutely no abrasives used or needed) and is quite cost-effective. Colors vary from one vendor to another, so if you don't see exactly the color you want, shop around. You can see from the reflections on the counter that the surface is definitely glossier than Corian/Swanstone's matte finish, although it's not a super-high gloss finish. Our master bath is a very narrow rectangle so it's hard to get a good shot of everything. This is the best I have of the sinks, unfortunately. It's a tan cultured granite that matches the neo-angle showerpan and surround. Hope this helps!...See Moresuggestions for integrated vanity sink and top
Comments (3)I have one-piece acrylic tops in each of my bathrooms. Positives: Super easy to clean. Long-wearing. Mine were installed in the late 60s/early 70s, and though they do show wear (small scratches), they are still perfectly acceptable. No stains. Negatives: Lack of customization - you must accept the available standard sizes....See MoreNeed Help Choosing Cambria Quartz for Vanity Top
Comments (10)Nicole, I did everything even more backwards..in the kitchen, I started with the backsplash...:) because the tile was custom and 6 weeks wait at that time, while the slabs are usually there and ready. Well they were there and ready, but I couldn't find the right one for weeks after that. We were going everywhere with the sample of the tile, the floor, the cabinet door..You get the picture. Well found it eventually. Lol. That's why I'm afraid to give you a potentially bad advice by just looking at the screen-I remember what it takes, to choose the material. Had a very similar experience with the counter in the master bath..they gave me some tiny samples(literally, like 2 by 2 at most) and asked to choose. Then I chose. Then I opened a thread here where I mentioned I chose something because people are waiting, but I'm really not sure whether it's the right choice . Then I got some encouragement to speak up. Then I wrote a letter to our GC and Co: "So sorry. I really wanted to make everyone happy but I need a couple more days to choose the stone". Next day, we drove to the slab yards around us, and found a remnant that was like a hundred times better choice than the one I reluctantly chose before. BTW was cheaper than their pre-fab Quartz too. Maybe twice as cheaper. Well the GC and us did get a bit mad at each other, and he stalled us for three weeks not picking that slab. Was not exactly easy for him to pick it up too I must say, as all his guys are not local, and it became a real problem at some point, as the remodel went on and on. Then we met to reconcile, which we did. We silently arrived at consensus -we payed for the slab, even though it was a part of their quote-but they did come to pick it up. Now I love my new counter, and I must say the GC loves it too. Will make his work on that bathroom look much, much better. Which is kinda important thing for somebody who takes pride in what he does. Don't worry. It will fall into place. Try to visit other facility if possible. It's a big decision, you shouldn't be rushed into it. Also look at the remnants they've got there, just in case(if they got them)-who knows, maybe you'll find your stone winking at you. Good luck to you, and I wish I could be more helpful-to me, slabs are the worst.....See MoreWhat combination of vanity and quartz top do you recommend?
Comments (7)Would you ever do a wood vanity to add warmth? We are doing something similar with the maison vanity from RH and start white quartz top. But in your case, I see that huge piece of white stone. That may go well? This vanity also comes in an antique gray color (which pulls both cool and warm tones). That is the color I am going with. Otherwise, if you are deadset with the vanity cabinet choices in your photo, I would go with the one on the far left of the white....See MoreMarilyn Stirrett
