Make sure to see pictures of previous work done by the stone manufacturer to make sure their seams are neat and clean.
Pictures of bad granite seams.
Marble and granite slabs are generally not wider than 10 or 11 feet.
There s going to be a seam in my new beautiful gleaming countertop.
Something else by way of example other than their quot showroom quot.
It has been awful i now have a cough croaky voice and sinus infection.
Most are less than 10 feet wide.
Seams are typically hidden in places where they would be less noticeable such as next to a sink or refrigerator.
But so does brown as long as you know how to coordinate.
Granite countertop seams are an issue of concern for many buyers of granite counters.
I know many out there already have a bad seam and have already paid for everything.
I had granite installed before in another house and never had this mess as they cut tap holes etc.
The seam has about 5 places where there were chunks or chips of the edge broken out.
Your feelings are understandable.
But seams should not cause you concern.
In fact you shouldn t be able to notice them at all.
I wore a dust mask and handed them out to the workers.
Also it is more of a white or grey color that they used on the seam epoxy.
So much brown but just focus on the elegance of that high end granite.
When you are in the market for granite countertops you may discover that your kitchen will need a seam in the granite.
On my very long run of granite that has a sink that weighs 126 pounds and a cook top the seams are in the cooktop and nearly invisible.
Outside then brought the granite in.
So in places the seam is a little over 1 8th of an inch wide and in one place in the back there is a chip that is a half inch wide.
Try my absolute best to use a company whose work i can see first like a neighbors countertops.
You ve spent months designing your new kitchen and the stunning new counters whether they re granite marble quartzite or any other material are going to provide the wow factor you ve always wanted.
Odd room but we re not here to judge that.
Mother nature at her finest.
Black on white always looks good.
If your kitchen countertops are longer than 10 feet chances are they will have a seam.
Same goes for bad seams what they will do if you get a bad seam.
If granite slab edges do not happen to meet at a kitchen fixture builders and contractors often put them in areas that may be covered up during typical use such as near a stove or a corner ideal for a dish rack or microwave.
You guys have my sympathy.
I also sent them pictures of the seam.
If the granite company you buy from does not have the proper equipement or tools your granite seams may appear less than industry standard.
Too bad the hood over the oven overpowers the rest of the design.
I had no idea it would be so bad as i too trusted the granite guys.
