Should We See ‘Layers’ In Our Countertop?

Are seams like this normal in large counter/island tops applications? Style is Caesarstone

Stone Grey (4030).

All the supporting documentation we read is that seams are ‘virtually invisible’ so in our minds this seems like a deficiency.

Thanks in advance for everyone’s expert feedback...we’re reno newbies!

Cheers,

John & Karen C

    the first photo shows a bad seam, with open gaps. The second photo is fine, there is no way to hide a seam, even a tight one with a clean solid surface (as opposed to multi-colored or one with movement)

    You’re confusing quartz with Corian. Only Corian advertises that seams are “inconspicuous”. No one else will ever say that any seams are “virtually invisible”. Ever. Because they aren’t. They‘re going to be visible. Some more than others. Ones with big veins are especially conspicuous.

    But that’s just a terrible fabricator. How did you interview and find your fabricator?

    I don’t know anything about this. I am here to hear what people who do know have to say.

    HU:


    If those are adhesive voids, can you get a fingernail into them? Or are they solid with just poorly matched adhesive? If they are voids, you maybe able to stuff some color matched adhesive into them, let it set up, and scrape it to flush.


    Voids are fabricator error; he'll have to make it right.

    Thanks Joseph. They aren’t voids, they are all smooth and regular to the touch. The counter and island are large with a few corners and bends and there are a number of the bends that look like this.

    "Take this up with Caesarstone. I'm sure they would like to know the level of quality that is being sold by an authorized dealer."


    I highly doubt it. Silestone ignores poor end results and I've got picture proof and emails to prove it. They wanna sell slabs.
