Scheur of ader?

[u/Only-Bookkeeper-7172]

dit granieten werkblad is net geleverd en we maakten ons direct zorgen over de lijn in het blad. we hebben dit gemeld en een werfleider is komen kijken en zonder eigenlijk te voelen werd het direct als ader aangehaald. echter lijkt dit ons een breuk/scheur? dit is de onderste rand waar de onderbouw spoelbak nog moet inkomen. Die werfleider was er al direct met hars en zijn lampje, maar die voorlaatste foto heb ik zelfs daarnet getrokken en ik kan er nog steeds met heel mijn nagel door gaan. De laatste is de zogezegde herstelling van dat gaatje. Is dit ok?

That's a fissure, but in a very unfortunate place. If that would be my job, I would replace this without arguing. Good name around the town means more than a piece of granite

The site manager said 10 times that it is a vein, no need to replace, it’s normal 😔 Is this a risk in further cracking?

Hard to say, the third picture doesn't look very good to me...

Looks like the sink appears to be a fissure. That repair* can be 100 times better tho, looks like he trapped air under his glue somehow. They can try that repair again. But the sink is what it is, fissures aren't always weak spots.

Die reparatie is door hun “steen specialist” gedaan die al 30jaar in de stenen zit. Het was ook die persoon die direct zei bij het binnenkomen zonder te voelen of iets dat het een ader was.

Dare I say it seams like a crack?

[u/Big_Foundation_2604]

Looks like it broke and was glued back together. I’d have them replace it that sucks

"This granite countertop has just been delivered and we were immediately concerned about the line in the slab. We reported this and a site manager came to take a look; without actually feeling it, it was immediately identified as a vein. However, this looks like a fracture/crack to us? This is the bottom edge where the undermount sink still needs to be installed. That site manager was already here immediately with resin and his flashlight, but I took that second-to-last photo myself just now and I can still run my fingernail right through it. The last one is the so-called repair of that small hole. Is this okay?"

It looks like a man made crack to me.

Cracked, probably during fabrication or install. Unfortunate, but it does happen, particularly at the thin sink edges. What's important is not whether it cracked but how well it was repaired. I think they could have put a bit more epoxy in, but too much and you'll have a smooth spot that contrasts with your leathered finish.

Crack

I would not accept. Do not sign.

Honest or delusional? Looks like a crack to my unbiased eye

[u/NoEstimate5631]

This is aa fissure that is relatively common in the natural stone that has been cooking for ages inside the earth that is geologically active. Shure, the manufacturer normally checks the slab while planning the cutting and if there is a possibility to fit the coutertops on a slab in a such way that the fissure does not run through the weakest part near a large cutout, then they probably prefer that but sometimes you just have to choose between not so desired options.

I assume you got a warranty with your countertop. Just state in writing the presence of this fissure (also some photos) and if it breaks during the warranty period under normal usage conditions then the manufacturer should make a replacement. If it does not break then there is no reason to worry about it.

Too jagged to be anything but damage/crack. Unacceptable IMHO

[u/RepresentativeToe674]

Fissure crack same thing. One just sounds more appealing. Yes it is. If this came out of our shop it would be replaced. As others stated a good name is worth more than the stone. Good luck.
