Seams To Me: Love Your Granite Countertops
In our showroom, we get asked a lot of questions in regards to seams.
- What will the seam look like?
- Will the seam be noticeable?
- What kind of gap will there be?
- How are the seams filled?
- Will a seam be needed?
- Etc.
A lot of times, having a seam will be determined by the size of the countertop, or island, and the size of the slab, or piece. Many times, seams are unavoidable, but that does not mean that they have to stand out like a sore thumb. At PGC, we always do our best to make the seam tight. In most cases, we use epoxy along with our seam setter to snug each piece of granite together, so the seam is less noticeable. We also try and match the flow of the stone as best as we can. A perfect match however, is sometimes hard to achieve with colors that contain a lot of movement. Again— it depends on the overall slab layout and kitchen design.
Following are a few pictures of seams I wanted to share:
Chestnut Brown granite
Typhoon Bordeaux granite
Blue Pearl granite
