Seam Help! Cambria
Comments (67)I don't think people are expecting perfection, invisible seams or miracles to be done. That's an invalid argument, imo. The condescending statements and inferences to intelligence are uncalled for, serving only to spark counter attacks rather than discussion. Typical from certain posters but the average person knows it's unnecessary. Oldryder has started another thread that proves that point. Professional in his job and workmanship, professional in his communications. Do you ever see anyone taking issue with his posts? I don't think so. And he gets it. I don't think he has anything to be defensive or accusatory about because his customers don't need to complain. He has achieved and demonstrates professionalism. He takes responsibility for the job he has chosen, and chooses to master all dimensions of it. If something should happen to go wrong, he handles it. I call that a professional. One that can command high wages that many others also do but haven't earned yet. (And that doesn't mean I think a professional is someone that should know or absorb everything, on my account; as I think a lot of these arguments come down to money. Who pays for the mistakes).

Comments (15)mayflowers - "You pay for a slab, you get a new slab." That's what I thought too. When I put granite in my kitchen I got to pick out two slabs from the stone yard. Fast forward. When Cambria quoted me white quartz for my master bathroom ($1600) I asked about remnants and was told they don't have remnants because the fabricators just keep reusing the left over pieces since they are manmade and match (we know that isn't always true). It's possible Caesarstone could be reusing pieces just like Cambria. I ended up going with a Hanstone remnant and saved $600. I'm wondering if the OP got to see the slabs in person and pick them out....See MoreMSI and No Seam or Cambria and Seam
Comments (20)honestly? get the whole thing redone and start fresh. from there if you get a small etch (and you will) then you can use the polishing powder. All they will do is come in w/grinding pads (basically sand paper but for stone) and grind off a super thin layer. to keep it honed, they'll stay in the 400-600 grit range. the higher the grit #, the more polished it will become. So in the future when you get a small scratch or etch, you could prob get a wet/dry sand paper in a 1000 grit, and very lightly go over the spot. the polishing powder will basically work the same way. I've used the 600 wet/dry paper on my honed carrara. practice on a spare piece first. btw, this is the stuff that he put on my marble floor after he re-honed it. this stuff is amazing. completely repels water. (nothing will stop etching, but for staining, this will buy you some time)...See MoreHELP?! Will large backsplash be too "seamed" installed?
Comments (59)@Michele Bennett I was/am unaware of any edging tile to match this, so I didn't have any. The edge pieces were showing around an archway to the shower and they were pale blue. I didn't like that, especially after being told they would use a Schluter edge. I chose a paint to match the grout and had the edge painted. It's ok but not elegant. I would find a solution to this before committing to this tile. The tile setter used Schluter around the shower niche and It looks nice. Pictures to follow......See MoreDavid Sorlie
