How scratch-resistant is quartz?
Comments (20)"What is the advantage in making a scratch disappear "completely" if you are left with another irregularity in its place?" jellytoast; oldryder answered your question in his first paragraph. If your fabricator has scratched the piece at install he'll make it right with no dip or you'll get a replacement piece. If your drunken brother-in-law scratches your top and you're looking at several thousand dollars in replacement, a little dip is going to look much nicer than a scratch or the invoice from the fabricator. I just took the scratch out of my $250.00 Oakley sunglasses, but now I've got distortion when I look through them. Fortunately, they'll give me a new pair for my old ones and $125.00....See MoreIs this normal for quartz and granite purchase
Comments (7)I agree with gpraceman. I would be very insistent that you see the templates taped to the slabs before they are cut so that you can approve exact placement. Sometimes depending upon your edging, you might not be left with as much usable material as you thought. I was surprised after they laid everything out and saw the cuts, how little there was and how tough it would have been to save some of it for another counter.....mostly this was because of certain areas that I liked better than others on the slab. If they don't charge you too much, you can ask that they make you trivets out of the leftovers. I had about 10 circles of different sizes made and I glued them to thick silver candleholders from IKEA and they make lovely cake stands and food serving pieces!...See MoreVariation in Quartz, is it normal?
Comments (1)That is certainly within tolerances. If you had purchased natural stone you would have had much more variation. The only thing that would have had less would have been a solid color e quartz or a solid color corian...See MoreVanity dilemma -- am I getting ripped off?
Comments (15)Hi Patricia @Patricia Colwell, I'm not sure if you read the whole thread, but the OP said upthread that she is 4'10", and that the vanity (with countertop is 37 1/4"). She also said that the existing vanity (that she wants to have chopped off) is 20 years old. The contractor remodeling her bathroom had suggested shortening the vanity by cutting it off from the bottom and thereby reducing the toe kick. My understanding is that you are on the taller side, so that would affect your point of view (pardon the pun). But I know that you are also a fantastic designer. With the OP's parameters, do you have a suggestion for her that would be reasonably priced (even though it might be more than the $400 for the contractor's solution)?...See Morekandrewspa
