Question about side edge of laminate countertops
Comments (10)Not sure when it happened (before my Mom bought the unit anyway) the inside edge of one side of her stove opening delaminated. In fairness to DH in commercial applications you often see laminate chipped . When my Mom was shopping for laminate she was discouraged from choosing a postform edge that didn't wrap under the nose of the counter because you can catch things on it and chip it and with postform you would have to replace it all because it is made from a single piece of laminate. If you have flat edges it wouldn't be a big deal because those edges like the ones by the appliance opening can be repaired fairly easily with another piece. Some laminate bevels use moisture resistant MDF as their substrate. I don't think the side will get that much wear and tear....See MoreCounters round 2, Appliances and some tile!!!
Comments (6)Everything is beautiful! We have eased edge counters in 2 of our bathrooms, and the corners are squared off as well. I do think it's slightly odd that a few of your corners are different, but I don't think it's a big deal and maybe they had a reason for those corners to be different? You will probably be the only one to notice going forward. Sounds like you will be coming home to a finished kitchen! Congrats!...See MoreBest edge for granite counter-- drip edge?
Comments (3)Could I ask what problem are you trying to solve? Is this by a sink? Do you need a drain board for air drying dishes? Do you have kids or spouse who spill water everywhere? Is water splashing out of the sink onto the counter? Are you replacing the sink/countertop or has the granite already installed and you are trying to retrofit something?...See MoreHelp with kitchen counter-tops is really needed...
Comments (42)for the handles, may I suggest something to pick up on the hues in the flooring? A little more copper toned. you have light cabs, light floors. I think throwing in a dark ORB w/o actual copper highlights would be too much of a contrast. IMO. cypress park Sandra, I like the porcelain one better than the other one. Does the backsplash have to be done immediately? If the tones in the porcelain tile you picked clash w/the ivory tones in the counter, it could be a problem. However, I did find some copper toned ones that should be avail. these are porcelain/SS, and treated so as not to stain or tarnish. I LOVE these for your kitchen. timeless and gorgeous. They are probably not super cheap, but it would be worth it for me. http://www.miusartmosaics.com/arabesque-lantern-beacon-copper-tile-in these would also work. the site is here: maybe they have them in stock.http://www.westsidetile.com/arabesque-tiles/ i like this one too. notice the copper faucet. beautiful w/the glass mosaic. if you got the cream countertop, this would look amazing w/your floors. this last one is a copper colored slate/quartzite....See Morelizt2013
