Kitchen countertop mitered waterfall island side question..
Comments (3)Thanks for your advice!.. will def check with fabricator as I don't want to go thicker. So might be best to choose a different style side panel if waterfall came work. I forget what the style is called where countertop stone sits on the edge of the side panel stone....See MoreMDF waterfall kitchen island -- specs?
Comments (12)Who knows what happens in the future.. I think the structural laminate panels make a terrific looking counter particularly for a modern aesthetic---which is what I assume the OP is seeking given that OP wants a 3/4" counter and a waterfall. I mentioned it as an alternative because no one else had suggested it. And because it can have a life after it serves as a counter. With stone, not so much. There just isn't much use for a discarded stone or quartz countertop. Beyond tossing it in a canyon for erosion control. Not that you will be tossing it. More like rolling it over the edge with the help of your friends....See MoreKitchen Island Waterfall and Electrical Outlets
Comments (8)“Which means it does not apply everywhere, unless in force by municipal choice. That is most likely why I hadn't heard about outlet requirements in islands. It is not required where I am located.” The reason for this Code requirement is so that when someone uses a coffee pot, blender, mixer, or any other counter appliance on the island, she is not plugging it in by stretching the electrical cord across the aisle to a backsplash outlet many feet away. The scenario Joseph Corlett mentioned is the least worrisome. More concerning are (1) someone walking through the aisle and not noticing the cord and tripping on it, (2) not seeing the cord across the aisle and running into it and pulling on it, causing it to short, and (3) an electrical short from @Sherry Brighton stretching the electrical cord across the aisle, starting the blender, and having the stretched and vibrating cord spark. If your contractor tells you local Code says you don’t need receptacles in an island - and even the worst crappy contractors will not say that, because even they have some standards - then you better find another contractor....See MoreNeolith countertops/kitchen waterfall a mistake??
Comments (2)I have polished neolith countertops in small apt kitchen with waterfall on island. Installed a year ago and love it. There are micro scratches that show in the polished but nothing anyone notices, you have to be looking for it. Polished reflects the light so my kitchen looks bright. Ihave had no issues. Good installation is key so you must work with a fabricator that knows the product and is properly trained...See More- 4 years ago
