MSI jumbo slab options.

last year

Our contractor asked us to pick out a quartz slab for our kitchen remodel. We need four slabs and had narrowed to down to two options but now we just found out that they need to come in the jumbo size and not all of them do. I can’t find a place on the website where it notes if the slab is jumbo or not. MSI is closed today and I need to give an answer by tomorrow. Does anyone have a list? We are looking for subtle gray veining. Thanks!

Daltile One Quartz come in jumbo slabs. You are limited in selection but they have 137 wide which is very big. I am looking into one because I don’t want a seam.

Thats a lot of quartz. Im guessing youre planning on using quartz as a backsplash. Be super careful as quartz is a resin and can scorch and burn. Check with the manufacturer to see if that application is guaranteed, not your contractor. Also, most quartz cant be seamed unless its book matched. Daltile has jumbo slabs.

We are not using it as a backsplash but we have a big kitchen and are also using it for a bar area

@Mrs. Gopher I have seen multiple posts from you discussing Emerstone. I am looking for opinions from a fabricator on quality of this brand over time. My job requires 4 slabs and I am trying to be an educated consumer before I pull the trigger on my purchase. If you are able to share your opinion or experiences that would be most helpful. Thank you in advance!

Patricia, thanks you very much for your advice! This is a picture of the flooring I'm considering. This pattern seems to me "busy" compared to others, but the wood look (at least to my eye) is more realistic than many other brands I've seen. Do you have a brand and pattern that you find particularly subtle and realistic? There are so many!

i know you’re right, Patricia! But, I’m hoping to feel better about the two slab choices I do have & that I have seen by seeing how much their subtle veining patterns show up on the horizontal. Looking at slabs is great but since they’re displayed vertically or upright, one doesn’t really “see” how the patterns will look on the horizontal view. I was so disappointed my first choice won’t work but we absolutely don’t want a seam or loss of size in our island - so - priorities!

Does anyone have photos of MSI Calacatta Arno counters?

I just went to the MSI showroom to view slabs. The slabs of Arno I saw had dark gold veining only with a bright white background. No other colors or variation. It was pretty. I'm on the fence. Our contractor said to look for jumbo sizes only. I wasn't expecting that and now feel somewhat limited. Arno is pretty and comes in prefab and jumbo size. Check out Vadara Quartz. I prefer their quartz colors. I also went to their showroom and I think their quartz is gorgeous.

You really cant give an answer without actually SEEING the slabs, whats one more day or two ? Thats a huge monetary commitment to make on suggestions from internet randos. You have to live with those slabs, bring a cabinet door and really scrutinize the colors ideally under the same lighting conditions as your kitchen. There are a thousand stories of woe on here from people who picked the wrong countertop. If theres a Daltile near you, you should go and take a look. Dont be rushed into a decision that will determine how much you love your new kitchen. Good luck w your remodel.

we’ll go see them first for sure— just looking for a list of which ones come in a jumbo to do some reseach before going in tomorrow.

Jess M - what did you find out about which MSI quarts come in jumbo slabs? Our island is 70.5"x 105, so we need a taller quartz. I too have looked through the MSI site and cannot determine which of their slabs are Jumbo or Super Jumbo. Thanks in advance if you know the names of the extra large quartz options!

Jess M, I'm assuming that you bought super jumbo, if so, which manufacturer did you end up using? I am having trouble finding many companies that offer super jumbo but would prefer quartz over granite or quartzite.

"Also, most quartz cant be seamed unless its book matched."

Of course it can; as well as any natural stone, but neither as well as Corian.

We went with a quartz we loved a have a seam. It’s small and somewhat out of the way.
