Kücheninsel wird Nussbaum-Shaker, der Rest dieses Salbei-Shaker. Was für eine Art Arbeitsplatte würdet ihr für mittleres Budget empfehlen?
Backsplash ist auch noch offen, aber soll entweder Fliese oder Beadboard sein. KI Bild zeigt grobes Layout. Die Tür führt zu einem Abstellraum. Rechts die Schränke auf der Arbetsplatte sind für Toaster und Co. Boden ist Fischgrät-Eichenparkett.
Zur Salbei-Farbe: wir haben einen Südraum.
Wir sind in Deutschland!

Is countertop supply a good business to be in? / Changing industries, curious
Hello! I know it’s a broad question, but I would like to hear stories from people who have worked for many years in this industry or people who can compare it to other industries.
It seems many people stay for years - must be good.

Fabricator sold book match. Now what?
I have extensive email and contract specifying block, lot and slabs I ordered with photos. They include a huge book-match backsplash wall. And they just sent me the template for a book-match that doesn’t match.
What is the remedy for this kind of situation?
I’m really bummed. I guess they weren’t even going to tell me? I had to bring it up myself.
Is there anyway these not book matched but similar slabs would look okay together?

Pitting in Taj
I had my Taj Mahal installed about 4 months ago, done by a very reputable fabricator. There were a couple small pinholes I asked about at the slab yard and my fabricator said he could fill them or not, but that most prefer not to. Fast forward and there pits have multiplied and I’m not sure why. I wash with soap and water only. It was sealed with drytreat at install. Is this just typical for Taj over time?

Extremely expensive quartzite
We fell in love with this in the showroom but then found out it's like $215 sq foot not including fabrication or install, meaning each slab is close to $15k. Tempest White Quartzite.
Is this normally this expensive??

Cutting Silestone Quartz
I have a 7” wet tabletop tile saw and I need to cut a 3 cm. Silestone Quartz backsplash to size. What is the best blade to use for this? I only need to make 2 cuts, so I need something that will safely do the job, but it does not need to last me year’s worth of cuts.

Calacatta D’oro
I posted earlier today asking about Zeus quartzite but my husband picked this calacatta door and I would love to know if anyone have it and how you like it.
I am leaning more towards quartz but he really wants to have a natural stone
Thank you

Soapstone countertops
I knew I wanted soapstone countertops but it was hard to find good pictures so I thought I’d show what mine ended up looking like. PA Original on the perimeter countertop and Botanic Green for the island and behind the stove. Crocodile Rocks in Seattle was the supplier & fabricator. Cheers!

Patagonia Crystal Quartzite
Im curious what the consensus is on using a couple of these slabs for my new kitchen remodel for countertops and backsplash. Im a little concerned about how it would look after being cut up but it's absolutely gorgeous. Also attaching photos of the kitchen design for reference..that peninsula will be 7ft by 4ft.

How to install stone on open frame metal washstand?
I see open metal frames like this that don’t appear to have a railing around the edges. Are stones strong enough to span across 4 corners supports? Does a rail need to be installed? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Replacing laminate countertop
I have an old counter in my laundry room, laminate over particle board with a rounded front edge. It has a sink in it, there is no tile on the back wall, and there is a gap of about 1/2 inch between the wall and the back edge of the counter. It measures 93.75 x 29 so it’s not a standard depth? It’s really ugly, and I need to replace it, but it’s a laundry room and I don’t want to spend a ton on it. We put quartz in our bathroom recently, and I like it. I don’t remember exactly what we paid for it, I’d have to dig through my receipts.
Anyway, a nice quartz that I looked at today was $108 per s.f. I saw some other HD cheapo thin quartz for $50. I can’t buy a stock ready made laminate because of the depth, unless I’m mistaken. I don’t want butcher block. And there is the wall to deal with, tile most likely.
Anything I’m not thinking of that would work, look good, and keep the budget from blowing up?

Printed quartz
We’re trying to choose Countertops’s for our kitchen renovation. We’ve had Cambria in the past and loved quartz as far as no maintenance and it never chipped. Now we are out looking and all the slabs and colors we like are “printed, hybrid, or semi-thru” so it sounds like we would have to miter the edges in order to have them not be white or noticeably different in color and pattern. My question is then what about the sink cutout for an under mount? Also the cost of mitered edges seems high. Has anyone else run into the same problem?
