Mitered quartz counter

5 years ago

Our counter top guy is telling us that a 2 1/2 inch mitered edge will add 350lbs to our new 10’x40” island and cost an extra $4000. I’m definitely a victim of google on this one, as no other project I have found reports numbers ($ or lbs) this high, but does this sound possible/accurate?

Do you need to buy another slab to have enough for mitering?

Maybe the fabricator doesn't like doing miters and/or isn't good at doing them?

That is a really good question, will definitely ask. doesnt seem worth it if we need to dip into a whole new slab. The company is a pretty big fabricator and I didn’t think a mitered edge is a far fetched wish these days! Thanks so much for your input.
