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
