Acceptable Quartz Countertop Seam???
Comments (25)"The quartz featured in this post looks alot like Zodiaq Calacatta Natura, which can be ordered in book-matched slabs, by asking for sequential slabs when ordering." pinkparadox: Do you have a citation for your information? Since engineered stone isn't cut from blocks, I don't know why sequential slabs would necessarily book-match. The only book matched engineered stone I've ever seen was at a trade show and was Chinese: These four huge natural stone slabs were cut from the same block in sequence, which is why they book-match so spectacularly....See MoreShould I accept this quartz seam?
Comments (6)These days, one can never assume that "professionals" know the proper way to do many things. One always needs to ask first, and yes, we all have tales due to our lack of experience. Sometimes people will ask me why I'm so cynical. I always say I was not born that way but became that way due to bitter experience!...See MoreGoing to cry...is this counter installation acceptable to you? Seam in
Comments (56)I only mean that the guy doing the counter is responsible for the faucet hole placement. He’d have to simulate an installed faucet to see how far that handle goes back. I’d be surprised to see a regular counter guy looking for the faucet handle clearance. It’s not their job to spec the faucets or double check the handle or make sure the sink depth leaves enough room for the faucet and all it’s parts. The KD is responsible for that stuff. If the homeowner is the KD, there ya go. I recently made this mistake. It was my fault. My Rohl faucet handle hits the window trim. But the powder room faucet not centered on the sink, that was their mistake and they had to replace that counter. We can agree to disagree....See MoreHelp! Is this seam in quartz countertop acceptable??
Comments (11)It's not horrible; the whites are some of the most difficult seam inconspicuously. I'm betting that's not factory color match adhesive. Place a straightedge over the seam please. It shouldn't have a gap and if it rocks, the pieces are out of plane to each other and the bottom of the seamed sides are touching, making it impossible to pull the top of the seam together tightly. The sink can be dropped and the seam sawn apart fairly easily and mess-free; I've done this. Put the pieces on plane, use factory color match adhesive, and pull it together with Gorilla Grips....See MoreKristin S
