There s going to be a seam in my new beautiful gleaming countertop.
Pictures of bad granite seams.
Granite countertop seams are an issue of concern for many buyers of granite counters.
The other seam is so nicely matched that you cannot really see or feel it.
Odd room but we re not here to judge that.
Seams are typically hidden in places where they would be less noticeable such as next to a sink or refrigerator.
The seam has about 5 places where there were chunks or chips of the edge broken out.
Same goes for bad seams what they will do if you get a bad seam.
Make sure to see pictures of previous work done by the stone manufacturer to make sure their seams are neat and clean.
Granite seams are a major topic of discussion.
If your kitchen countertops are longer than 10 feet chances are they will have a seam.
But seams should not cause you concern.
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.
I had granite installed before in another house and never had this mess as they cut tap holes etc.
But so does brown as long as you know how to coordinate.
Something else by way of example other than their quot showroom quot.
When you are in the market for granite countertops you may discover that your kitchen will need a seam in the granite.
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.
I wore a dust mask and handed them out to the workers.
Marble and granite slabs are generally not wider than 10 or 11 feet.
You guys have my sympathy.
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.
I also sent them pictures of the seam.
Try my absolute best to use a company whose work i can see first like a neighbors countertops.
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.
Seams are often a necessary part of a quality natural stone countertop.
Also it is more of a white or grey color that they used on the seam epoxy.
If the granite company you buy from does not have the proper equipement or tools your granite seams may appear less than industry standard.
Most are less than 10 feet wide.
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.
I know many out there already have a bad seam and have already paid for everything.
In fact you shouldn t be able to notice them at all.
Black on white always looks good.
Outside then brought the granite in.
Mother nature at her finest.
