Kitchen counter seam location

5 years ago

We are getting new counters and the installer sent us this diagram for our seams. Our dilemma is the seam to the left of the sink. Currently our seams both run parallel to the sink. They are suggesting the one to the left now run to the opposite end of the corner making that left little peninsula quite small. We are concerned their recommendation will look almost like an after thought but to move the seam to both run parallel to the sink would cost us an additional $2k (approx)- they said about 25sq ft of additional material (which is mostly not used). Which way should it run? Counters are Ceasarstone Rugged Conrete so vein matching isn't necessarily an issue.

Base on this drawing at first glance it appears you have a cooktop in an island with unsafe clearances. Looking more closely at the drawing it’s evident that the cooktop is going against the wall which is perfectly fine.

It's not worth $2k. Get used to the seam and upgrade something else that will have more impact.

Can't help you without dimensions on that drawing.

If it is all cut from one slab, it may be just fine.

Have you seen the rugged concrete in person? My local shop won’t sell it because it never matches the sample and you have to pay in advance with no returns or exchanges. That stove on the island though...

Juneknow - how on earth can you determine what the layout is from the countertop layout? The drawing does not reflect the actual location of the countertops in relation to each other. Only what the edge finish plan is and where the seams are. (I do note that piece with cooktop is not an island. It is against the wall.

Touché, looks like an island but only has two finished sides. Yay!

Juneknow- your comment is confusing. what is unsafe and dangerous about the layout?
