Granite, Marble, Soapstone Countertops - Buyers Guide
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 |
