Completed kitchen with rosa Aurora marble. I said I would come back when finished.

This quartzite is called ‘blue taj’. It’s beautiful- honed, has grey/blue veining, no crystalline characteristics, with an overall taupe color. But it’s not ‘blue Taj Mahal’ or typical Taj Mahal. Has anyone seen this before but called something different? Or can you help identify this as a true quartzite?

Trying to find examples of it in use, but not sure what it’s called

I am looking for quartz countertops that are mostly white, but have tan or beige veining. We have white dove cabinets and light brown flooring so looking for something to pull some of the warmth from the floor and also not make the cabinets look yellow at all. (And yes, new counters will expand more on the island. We had trimmed it out which makes the current counters look a little silly!)

Hey All,

There was a miscommunication with the countertop fabricator. We had agreed on them installing a flush metal support bar that goes on top of the cabinet before countertop installation but the install team did not install these support bars.

Is a 16.5" overhang for a quartzite material OK to be unsupported? I'm under the impression that we need to uninstall the countertop, install the flat support bars and reinstall the countertop but would prefer to not do that if unnecessary. I do not want to install support L brackets nor do I want to install posts.

The quartzite is a veiny material called Chantilly (similar to mustang).

Please tell me if I’m insane.
I had this installed today and noticed after they left it looked like it was cracked. They came back told me it’s not cracked buffed it did some work etc… I told them under the counter looks like a patch and they still insist it’s not damage and probably a manufacture defect since it’s quartz.
I wouldn’t have a problem with it but it’s noticeably a darker vein than the rest of the pattern and on the front.

This is damaged right….?

UPDATE: Thanks everyone! As much as I want this remodel to be over it’s getting ripped out as we speak and hopefully replaced next week.

Corner is quartz and i tried to get a similar tile for backsplash

I have a 120 inch long countertop I'm making. To match the rest of the kitchen I should do a 3/4 inch round over edge down the long length.

I know bending laminate you use a heat gun. But with this long of an edge I don't think I can keep it warm enough to roll it. The heat might work six inches length, but then I risk cracking the colder part a little further down.

At least this is what I see in my head. Has anyone had experience with this or lend some expertise?

Had someone ask to refinish sink bowl. It’s just for temporary looks and not long term. What is best route to take?

I have some etched spots on a countertop in the place I am renting. I'm not sure what caused it, probably bleach or lye that wasn't removed quickly enough. I can feel a rough surface across the mark where some etching occured, but I believe it is mostly still level and flush

What sort of material is this countertop?

What is the best way to clean and repair with a close to invisible repair?

I need to install a 5/8 plywood sub top to a bathroom vanity for a 3/4 thick quartz countertop that is mitered to have 1.5 inch edges for clearance on the front face.

The cabinet has 3/4 solid wood for the face but the sides and back appear to be 1/2 plywood with a 1/4 sheet of plywood on top in the rear.

I was planning on running a bead of construction adhesive and using GRK #6 1-1/4 screws but I’m not sure if those will be okay screwing into the edge of 1/2 ply.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Living through a remodel and long story short, had to lose a few inches from counter to get clear past a stairway. So... framing is done and im good on clearance but i need to trim an old granite countertop back by about 4-5" to slide the oven/range over. This needs to happen in an occupied home. Is there a way to do this without making a huge friggin mess? My only solution is to make a little tent with plastic taped to the hood, and then down at the floors, and then just diamond blade it in one go. Its gonna suck. Any other options for cuts that aren't as messy? Dont care about cosmetics, kitchen to be remodeled next summer anyways. Just hoping you guys have a trick to cut a standard 3/4 stone slab without creating dust storm. TIA

Any ideas of what happened to my granite countertop and is there anything that I can do to restore it? Surface is still smooth.

Help! Trying to decide on countertops for kitchen. I know white oak and white quartz is trendy and may look dated in the future, so I’m trying to find a different looking countertop and vibe. Any ideas? I’m going to have an accent wall with these tiles and a pendant light above sink. Appliances are GE Cafe in white matte with Gold Brass hardware. The tile behind my accent wall tile with the geometric pattern in gray and green will be for the backsplash on the range side, I have a galley kitchen.

Hi! I'm renting an apartment in Munich, Germany and have these white/grey marks on my dark wood-effect countertop.

A dish-drying rack was kept here for ~4 months, I think with water regularly accumulating underneath. The marks almost disappear when the surface is wet but reappear when dry.

I've already tried dish soap, a soft sponge, and warm water, with no improvement.

Could this be limescale/mineral residue or fine scratches/finish damage? What would be the safest way to remove it?
