London Fog Quartz Counter top Seam
Comments (0)Does anyone have a countertop in London Fog Quartz that required a seam? If so can you please post a picture so I can reference it. Thank you....See MoreQuartz Countertops are TERRIBLE
Comments (6)At this point the manufacturer is saying that it could be the fabricator's/installers "fault." The fabricator/installer is saying to go back to LG. From the second the installer left after the replacement slab went in, there was a round spot in the middle that I called them back and they worked on to remove - but it's still there. I'm so upset....See MoreYet another quartz countertop seam question…
Comments (1)I assume you are boxing in the end of the bar, so maybe you could make the faux beam cover the triangle portion by that end with molding at the bottom. Because Yes to getting the angle cut piece, as it would be a more "normal" place for a seam to be and is in a much better area to be less noticeable....See MoreIs this normal?

Comments (16)@DeWayne - the OP said she bought 3 or 4 slabs. Given the size of the kitchen pictured, that is not ”trying to use minimal material as the first criteria”. Stop always blaming the homeowner in your posts. To the OP - we see on this forum many, many posts on this same topic of the Quartz pattern not flowing across the seam. Most look much more glaring than yours. I think you’ll get used to it once the kitchen is fully set up and lived in. I don’t see how that section can be made to flow perfectly without having to start over from scratch. Even if they brought in a new slab, it is unlikely to match across the seam since Quartz slabs are not made that way except for a few specific patterns that can be ordered grain matched. You would have had to know that ahead of time, and those patterns would be more costly. Most people do not opt for them, and are fine with a slight mismatch. There is a school of thought that the perfection seen in design magazines and Instagram (often photoshopped) have created unrealistic expectations for homeowners....See MoreM Miller
