Counter material

7 years ago

What kind of material was used for the lighter countertop? I'm looking for a similar veining look to go with an existing island.

Do you think mixing something very modern like stone, metal or glass will work in an otherwise traditional setting? I plan to have a roll top in the middle of the room and then knock part-through to the current bathroom (the bathroom is moving next door into the single bedroom) and put the high level flush loo and shower around the corner. I like nooks and crannies and general quirkiness! If I could put a step in somewhere I would! The front of the current bathroom will then be walled shelving storage for shoes, I was thinking. Also, do you know much about the new perspex wall coverings you can get instead of tiles? It'll be metro tiles otherwise. Lastly, anyone experienced the bathroom/original floorboard/water-tight scenario? I really want the floorboards to stay. I get a bit carried away when it comes to my lovely house!!!

Independent counter damage assessment in London
Q

Less than 18 months after installing a new kitchen, one cold winter night when a large cast iron pot was on full heat on a corner gas burner, our silestone counter cracked (see photo). The counter material was silestone provided by Cosentino. Cosentino came to inspect the damage but their engineer claimed almost as soon as he entered the kitchen that their (25 year) warranty was invalid. He claimed that we must have put hot pots on the adjacent counter, which must have weakened the material making it susceptible to thermal shock. They have however offered to replace this part of the counter if we pay them £3k. We suspect that this damage is the result either of material weakness or poor layout design but are looking for an independent assessment to give us an honest view of how this happened. Can anyone recommend someone with relevant expertise in the London area who we would be able to hire to provide an independent assessment?
