Cosentino Dekton - New and Different Countertop Material
Comments (6)Could be wrong but appears to be the same as Neolith and other sintered porcelain sheets on the market- looks to be an up and coming trend- at least I'd suspect the mfg hope so. Has been in Europe for a while. The trick for us was finding a fabricator that had handled the stuff (Neolith) suspect the same will be with Dekton. Here is a link that might be useful: Sintered at Wikipedia...See MoreLarge thin porcelain tile/slabs flooring and wall claddin
Comments (50)So I am looking at floor and decor 48x24 large porcelain tile. My shower is smidge over 48 in wide and goes to ceiling. The depth is 36 inches. Can someone explain the difficulties. Is it cumbersome Since each piece heavy, does it crack more, issues around cutouts for faucets?. do I need to buy a lot more to allow breakage with the large tile. Seems like the back wall would need no cuts as the tile is exact size when u add in grout on each end. Why is it so much more to install? Sorry I keep reading the difficulty of install and was hoping to understand a bit more. Also didn’t understand the comments about” problem when shower guy shows up 😊...See MoreSintered Countertops in Minnesota
Comments (20)sd1962: You are conflating fashion and practicality. Countertops are fashion. That's the only possible explanation as to why Houzzers dumpsterize perfectly fine dark granites only to replace them with white engineered stone. You have a perfectly good pair of high heeled shoes, but they are sooo 2019. Same thing. People here fall in love with marble at the slab yard, ignoring marble's notorious etching and staining. It's love and fashion, the fabricator's lifeblood. Sintered can be a fine countertop, but like marble and other tops, it has its weaknesses. The sharp mitered edges required to make it look good are chip prone and very difficult to repair inconspicuously. That's fact and fact, love, and fashion don't always get along. I have no idea as to why Chinese consumers are buying sintered tops, however, I do know that they are just as subject to mitered edges chipping as are Americans. Ignore this warning at your own peril....See MoreSintered stone for backsplash, not countertop
Comments (2)@Patricia Colwell, we are picking a dark slate/charcoal granite. For one part of the kitchen that gets a little more light and only touching white cabinets, we will match the backsplash (15" x 81") with the same granite but in the part I mentioned we need something that's white for aesthetics and not be overbearing as it's 30" x 120" and touching multiple colors (white cabinets, wood shelves, stainless steel range). @User, we are trying to avoid grout/seams, especially horizontal ones, and porcelain slabs seemed almost as expensive as sintered stone (they are on the consider list). For example, we got a quote for Lapitec for < $40 per sq ft (not $150) which seems similar to porcelain slabs. We didn't realize there were 32x64 tiles (1 vertical seam/grout in our context), that may be a great economical solution, thank you! Since we're just looking for a slightly textured white or very light grey, cheaper would be appreciated....See MoreJoseph Corlett, LLC
