Seams
Most projects will have seams. Here are some examples of how Heritage Stonecraft works to minimize their appearance.
Backplashes are cut to continue the veining so it "flows" up the wall |
A very difficult granite has an almost invisible seam |
Varied crystal structure and colors are particularly challenging |
The seam here is NOT diagonal. See the glue mark on the wall. |
Small grain structures can hide seams quite well. |
Seams are kept away from sink except when it minimizes the number |
The seam here is horizontal. Difficult to see |
Even with large color variations we can find a way |
Oranges and greys are matched as best as possible |
Seam widths are kept to 1/32" or less, with a color matched epoxy |
Regular/Medium Grain patterns can be difficult to hide |
The eye catches straight lines where there shouldn't be any |
High contrast (black & white) means the seam color has to relate to both |
