Second post in two weeks, slightly different material this time. Sea Pearl, was left in the shop over the weekend to go out for Monday install. Came back Monday morning and found this brown stain. You can see where the backsplash was laid in front of it. Does anyone know what could have caused this ...

Hey Stonies, I think this Quartzite is crap and I'm not surprised this is happening. Dark spots that look like water absorption around the vanity. Does anyone have a suggestion on why this is happening and a good solution to remove? I figured I'd use some plastic wrap and poultice powder. Photo is i...

Home owner thinks its structural, from his house. He removed a piece of metal from the exterior that backs up to the sink and he believes the wall shifted as a result

Definitely not a thru body material, I'm not sure why we were told that. Is there something i'm missing here?
What advantages are there with using 2cm opposed to 12mm in this case?

thanks!

Thanks Mark, I did the same. They say there is supposed to be a 1/16" gap with some variance. The gap we have is closer to an 1/8". A little big but I have to explain to the client it is normal I suppose.

Hello everyone, Can anyone tell me what the tolerance is for a flush mount cooktop? I have a customer who is not happy with the 1/8" gap on all 4 sides of her cooktop, my first thought is that we can use silicone to fill the gap. Its obviously very tricky to get a prefect fit but perhaps the gap sho...
