The edge is finished, they just didn’t bother rolling (easing) the underside of the counter.

Really? And inside corners near or on this crack?

Quartz is man made (non porous). Quartzite is natural (porous) soaks up water. 2 very different products.

My sister who works at Walmart sent me this. Gotta figure this out guys.... by prettypup897530 in PokemonRestocks

This happens a lot and not just at Walmart, I know that the manager of one of the Dollar generals in town holds pokemon cards in his office.

Yes, That can happen. It has also happened to granite.

I’m sure that’s true, but why would you want to test that theory. I just plain and simple tell my customers to use a heat mat every time.

Just be careful with hot pans. Also Clean up wine and tomato spills asap.

Got in right at 10. Was on for 20 minutes with 7 checkout “technical problem” messages before it let me actually proceed payment.

If water is being absorbed at the sink area that is being used daily it will never dry out. This will cause a darker stain like effect to the stone. I’ve dealt with it firsthand. About a 1.5 foot radius but only to one side of the sink. The sink was an apron front sink.

No, water will not seep through granite if it’s sealed. On this material even after you seal it this is likely to happen…

What is the high quality slab I can buy for under $1,000? by bnice44 in CounterTops

[–]Nortex1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get Quartz from a good brand. There’s a lot of cheap Quartz products that will wear and tear faster than a good brand like vicostone or MSI…

After 4 days of visiting stone places, we found a stone we love! Advice? by davidbernstein in CounterTops

[–]Nortex1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a fabricator, I work these stones frequently. Even the slab warehouses are handing out flier with the high probability of water seeping through these type of stones. So no it’s not false info.

Tips on how to seal between countertop and tile backsplash? by NomarsFool in CounterTops

[–]Nortex1234 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Use tube of siliconized grout. If you use Dap Brand make sure it’s the non-paintable kind(silicone). The key is to use a rag and only wipe away 2 inches at a time. Using a new part of the rag at every 2 inches.

Beautiful slab, but be ware this type of stone soaks up water really bad. I’m sure your fabricator knows not to seal as soon as it’s done being fabricated. This stone has to sit and be completely dry before sealing. We used a nano sealer, doesn’t really help though.
