countertops near a powerful stove
Comments (12)I would not use Corian near a stove/range top Preventing Heat Damage: CORIAN� withstands heat better than ordinary surface materials. However, hot pans, as well as some heat-generating appliances, like frying pans, woks, toaster ovens, curling irons or crockpots, can damage the surface. To prevent heat damage, always use a hot pad or a trivet with rubber feet to protect your CORIAN�. Do not use large pots that extend off the stove or cooktop onto your CORIAN� surface and cook for several hours. They generate several hundred degrees of temperature that can crack the CORIAN�. Preventing Other Damage: In most cases, CORIAN� can be repaired if accidentally damaged. However, be sure to follow the guidelies here to prevent any permanent damage to CORIAN�....See MoreHas anyone ever painted their kitchen countertops???
Comments (18)My mother painted hers years ago. Some type of faux finish. They held up pretty well for several years, but didn't age well. My cousin helped me update her home for sale (as I live out of state). They did some kind of spray on finish. I haven't seen it in person, but it looks amazing in pictures. Almost like quartz. Even turned the bright yellow sink black. It only cost $500 for her huge kitchen and can with a lifetime guarantee. Everyone who has seen the house has told me they were surprised I spent the $$ for new countertops! I will try to find out what its called....See MoreQuartz counter top questions
Comments (35)When people say that quartz looks like "fake" stone it always makes me scratch my head. For me, I love it because it is clean and uniform--if I wanted "real" stone with the variability that comes with real stone, I'd choose granite or marble. Saying it looks like fake stone is like saying that cork looks like fake wood. Two very different materials, two very different looks. Neither one is better--it's what style you prefer. Exactly! But I have found that many people try to sell quartz counters saying they look like granite but are better/easier/tougher (which I think has already been addressed above). Some of their colours do appear to be in fact imitating the look of real stone. I don't think they do well at that, but I totally agree with you that it's a great choice if you want a uniform or clean look or their vibrant colours....See MoreQuestion for those who have Quartz counter tops, please.
Comments (35)I have Cambria Torquay and use Clorox wipes on them all the time. I use them to wipe down my counters, then follow it up with Method granite polish from Target (LOVE that stuff!) There is absolutely no streaking, haze, residue, discoloration, etc. I frequently put hot items straight onto the countertop, but try to use a trivet or pot holder most of the time. I'm not super worried about it, but I figure it doesn't hurt to use a little extra caution. I was given the option of having the sink cut-out finished into a cutting board, so I used that for a long time as a tester of sorts. It has held up to all stains and temperatures I've subjected it to. I was advised by the installer to use a it of straight acetone for any stains that couldn't be removed with regular cleaner or by scraping with a razor blade. That was four years ago, and I have yet to find anything that didn't wipe right off. And that's saying something, because I have young children. I absolutely love my quartz counters and would buy them again in a heartbeat....See MoreJscoast2coast
