LG Viatera - quality?

6 months ago

We’ve narrowed our countertop selection down to Viatera quartz, specifically Etude or Lumina. I saw some very negative reviews about quality and durability of Viatera in general from about 6-8 years ago but haven’t seen anything more recent. Wondering if they’ve improved the product. For those that have them in their kitchen - how are they holding up? Chipping, staining, dull finish, etc? Thank you!

I am currently considering Viatera Etude and would love insight, as well, from homeowners that have used it.

I have LG Etude and absolutely love it. It’s low maintenance and still looks as fabulous as it did when first installed.

LG Viatera Minuet ...quality at Home Depot??
Q

My neighbor used home depot for her LG Aria and it went fine. Her countertop is 2cm, which is fine, but I was surprised because my LG White Pearl through Menards is 3cm. I have seen complaints here about Home Depot installers. This will vary place to place. After all, they have probably hundreds or even thousands of stores. You can ask for references for the installers they have.

Went with a tile from Menards - Mohawk® Crafted Gloss Gray 3 x 12 Ceramic Wall Tile I wanted gray tile but it took awhile to find one that worked well with the tones in Karis. Paint we went with Benjamin Moore Silver Chain (1472). Should be completed in a couple weeks. Will post pic!

Hello, Donna, I am considering the Dolce quartz but cannot find a good picture of it on a countertop, Do you have any pictures you could share of the full slab or a kitchen countertop. I am a little concerned since I have not been able to view a slab her in Missouri. I even drove 4 hours to Kansas to a showroom to view LG quartz but they did not have the Dolce slab for me to view. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Review. I have 1 1/4 thick LG Clarino think install 2019. Its polished no stain, no scratches looks news. It did get 1 small chip that I filled with crazy glue. But its not a normal kitchen occurrence I had a power drill in one hand climbed step to get something out of top cabinet and dropped the drill 4 ft drop and the bit hit the counter and chipped it. It will stand up to normal kitchen no problem We are working farm so the kitchen sink stainless dual bowl undermount always has pots/pan stuff stacked all the time it gets a beating. THere are no chips around the sink either. I think if it can stand up to my kitchen its good stuff lol

I've never seen a bad review of LG Viatera! We've been selling it since quartz hit the market many years ago. No problems. I have Silestone Lagoon in my own home. They were done around 11 years ago....they are near perfect still too. I have some dull areas around my faucet....very hard water where I live.
