HELP! My new quartz countertop has a "melt" spot!!!
Comments (31)Hi I have an update for anyone that is curious. I have other construction/remodel priorities now to finish things around the house (like the bathroom on the first floor and staining the new staircase) and I don't have extra money to repair a chip that is really a cosmetic issue/concern. So after someone suggested the outrageous sum of $1k to repair a chip for a counter that cost about twice that, I was left with just estimates from purported "pros" and the chip. So I decided to do research and I found something that looks promising: http://www.discoveredit.com/procaliberproducts.aspx. I emailed them and they suggested the PRO paste since it was so close to the edge (vertical surface). They also have pretty cool cleaning/polishing products that I will buy and try. I will post pictures of the results when I get a chance. I was really impressed that Stone Tooling (a company out in CA that I ordered my Laticrete products from when I was waterproofing my bathroom) posted a review and trial of this stuff on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2f7GOTb_Mw. Anyway stay tuned for pics in about 2 weeks (I plan to order it today)....See MoreHas anyone used MSI Calacatta Botanica Quartz for kitchen countertops?
Comments (21)Our painter has done many homes' cabinets. They use a semi-gloss and it looks great. Just not sure how long-lasting it will be. (We will probably sell in 5 years.). The veining on the Botanica is pretty light. The older version of it - when it was made in China - was much darker....See MoreBridport quartz by Cambria-- has anyone used this? Hard to find pics
Comments (14)Parisa...Yes! I love them. When we first got them, I searched the best ways to clean the very rare stains (like when rubbing alcohol hit the orange ink on my Hawaiian rolls and dissolved it into liquid orange stains), and didn't see Magic Erasers among the recommendations. I've used rubbing alcohol (good solvent) to clean it, and when necessary, added baking soda or liquid Bar Keepers Friend, whichever was handier. Never had a stain they didn't remove--sharpie, fruit, ORANGE INK! lol No damage to the finish. They look stunning, and have more subtleties than show in the pictures. They are a dream, very easy care and very easy cleaning. I do find that plated food cools fast on them, which is also true of granite and real marble bc of their density (and high specific heat capacity, for the science nerds, haha). I'm so glad I didn't go for granite a few years ago and be stuck with the looks that I'm now tired of. Marble is not only timeless, but always gorgeous. We get wowed compliments on it, too....See MoreHas anyone seen this Pental Quartz color? VIVALIORO
Comments (3)I have a Thassos White Pental Quartz countertop in my laundry / bathroom. It was installed a few years ago. It looks great: no staining, chipping, or scratching. I chose this remnant quartz from a local stoneyard. It is great quality, and beautiful!...See Morejust_janni
