granite 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 MoreIs this a bad quartz countertop seam and sink installation??
Comments (30)It's better if you find a smaller fabricator with proper licenses and insurance. Don't go with big box stores but also make sure not to do business with contractors or freelancer shops who cut quartz in their driveway, yard or a garage. Check the reviews, ask to see some of the work they already did, and that should be enough to make you certain that you're doing the job with the real professionals. And now you can say that you can be certain how a seam should not look like....See MoreAnother seam placement question for Compac Quartz counter top
Comments (2)i wouldn't be too worried about seam strength, frankly. if it's in the corner, the cabinet edges will help support it, and similar would be true for the sink. i would think about what you would find noticable/irritating. myself, i'd want the seam in the corner. i'd find it less noticable there....See MoreQuartz Countertop Seam is TERRIBLE
Comments (27)I bought this at a Chinese imports place because of their competitive pricing. (I don’t speak any Chinese.) This whole time, I thought I got quartz that looks like marble, but I went back to purchase a matching piece yesterday... and found out this is marble. Aghhhh! I’m messing up on so many levels. Looks like I’ll be resealing this baby every 6 months! It’s a good point someone made about water absorption changing the color of the countertop. We installed it on a very rainy week. Maybe the top slab absorbed water during transport. Anyway, so far, no matching slab found. There’s one that’s been reserved and not paid for yet, so I get to buy it next week if no one picks it up. Crossing my fingers!!...See Morecpartist
