white quartz countertops. I’m unhappy with the edges
I had quartz countertops installed recently and I love the surface but very unhappy with the finishes to edges and corners. I need others opinions as my husband doesn’t know what to think of the quality. In good daylight, the edges are dirty looking, I can see swirl marks. Its not smooth or shiny like the tops and I hoped they would match. Also, we already had them come back once to fix a rail seam by our cooktop because it wasn’t lining up perfectly. When they tried to fix it left an arch where they just cut off the underhang. Looks awful up close. Hopefully you can see details from my photos. Let me know if I should just live with it or complain and have them come again to fix edges. TY

White quartz worktops
Comments (39)My proveider has all samples except Classic white. White Zeus extreme is too plain. White Storm has a few too many specks. Is classic white more white than White storm. DOes anyone have Classic white in their kitchen?...See MoreWhite Silestone Quartz recessed drainer or not and staining
Comments (9)I advise my customers not to bother and have the extra worktop space and use a tea towel or mat to put any washing up on. The grooves don't have enough fall in them to drain the water away so it just sits there and you get lime scale build up and they're harder to clean up. With the recessed drainer again the water will just sit there as there isn't the fall to drain the water away but the water won't drip over the edge. Again you lose so much worktop having this and its an additional cost, much more expensive than just the grooves. I think your installer is giving you good advice. Quartz is 100% sealed compared to granite and marble, but i'd still be careful and clear up any spills especially anything acidic and also not put hot pans on it, don't use it as a chopping board with sharp knives etc and it will look as good as new for years to come....See Morequartz worktop Join
Comments (37)Hello again! I have now had the new worktop fitted and I’m really pleased with it :). It looks how I thought it should and the join is where my hob will be fitted (hopefully this afternoon) so not noticeable at all. The seam looks more obvious in the photo than it does on the eye but in all honestly it’s fab! Thank you all for your comments and advice, appreciated x...See MoreHeeelllllpppp!

Comments (14)So sorry Daisy English is not impressed with Howdens, I purchased my kitchen from them in Bolton and could not be more pleased. I downsized from a large house with solid oak kitchen units and marble worktops (which after time do stain, whatever anyone tells you) and moved into a much smaller property. With the help of the designer at Howdens she and I designed a kitchen more suitable for my needs, all the units are just to my taste and the appliances are excellent even the oven cleans itself, everything is in there, dishwasher, fridge freezer, washing machine, microwave, second oven, pan drawers, pull out pantry, hob, and extractor fan and sooooo important wine rack, streamlined and so easy to keep clean. Incidentally I have no connection with Howdens, just a satisfied customer!...See More

4 months agoI have Silestone quartz countertops, and all the sides and edges are smooth and shiny like the top of the counter. My kitchen designer only uses very experienced Silestone fabricators and installers.
