Granite Countertops: Seamingly Beautiful!
One of the questions we get asked by our customers is, “Will my countertop have seams?” This is a good question, but the answer varies from job to job and may vary from room to room. Most seams are dependent on overall slab length and layout of pieces. Some other factors that may come into play include material strength, or design of the actual room. If a customer has selected a more fragile stone, making a larger piece may not be an option because there might be more of a possiblity of the stone breaking. Room designs such as low ceilings, stairs, or doors can also deter the possiblity of making some runs in one piece. Sometimes to accomodate a homes structure, a piece that would normally be made as one, would instead need to be made into 2 pieces.
At PGC, we always do our best to minimize the number of seams, and make them as tight as possible. In fact, with some finer grained granite countertops that we’ve installed, the seams have looked almost invisible. Keep in mind…granites that have more flow and movement to them that require seams will be more obvious.
Thanks for reading!
