My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Hi,
    The onyx is set 100mm ( 4 inches) forward of the rear wall. We painted the rear wall white and installed LED strip lighting right around the 4 inch perimeter. The LED lighting is connected to some kind of transformer that is housed in the base cupboard.

    Hope this helps,
    Regards,
    Dominic Bagnato

    Did you ever consider using LED module instead of strips? www.knema.com has different options for backlighting stone.

    Dear Dominic,

    TylerCo was asked to write an article for Int’l Surface Fabricators Association’s magazine, “Countertops & Architectural Surfaces”. The article details how to backlight translucent surfaces, the digital version of the magazine is online at http://www.tylercoinc.com/news.html
