The Cosy Corner We Call Home

[lemoncandy 39]

just got a call that the glass backing for the kitchen is too long to fit into my lift!

a small piece nearest to the service yard window will be sliced off so the glass backing can fit into the lift, and the small piece will be patched back at the house. hopefully the joint line won't be too obvious... will check on it tonight.

Yes, at my previous condo unit, the workers carried the long Silestone top up the stairs. Mine was only 5th level. Not sure what is yours.

If possible, don't join. It will be obvious. You may need to pay the workers a bit of money if your flat is high up.

mine's 19th... there are joint lines on my white quartz countertop too, but so far i think it's ok. not too obvious since both joint line and the surface are white. not sure how the glass would turn out though. it's currently being refabricated at the factory cos smth went wrong yesterday. will leave this to the contractor..

so near the end yet problems keep coming!

just got news that the grouting for the tiles in living room and kitchen come out while the workers were doing chemical wash... zzz. will have to get BSC to fix this since mine are HDB floors. ugh.

Joint lines will need to see which part and if it affect the look a lot.

For the grout lines, I saw quite a lot cases of it recently. Hope it can be resolve nicely.

We went to BSC yesterday to inform them about it and thankfully, they are receptive to coming by tomorrow and filling in the grout lines again.. phew!

Also checked on my kitchen glass backing. it's up and the joint looks ok. it's in a far corner anyway and not very obvious.

Yup, will start moving stuff soon! i think our block has quite a few units moved in already! how long will your reno take?

Hi,

My ikea's solid surface has no joint line at all. I was amazed. I'm also surprised that white quartz has joint line cox it is usually more expensive than solid surface. My solid surface is $115/ft. How much is your white quartz?

hello! I don't know the pfr price of my quartz. I was informed of the joint line right from the start. I was told quartz and granite will have joint lines beyond certain lengths. (: I knew solid surface wouldn't have joint lines but I wanted smth hardier so chose quartz instead (:
