We just had new granite counter tops installed and are mostly very
pleased with the results. The one minor area of concern is where the
two slabs meet and form a seam. Visualy they did a good job but you
can feel that there is a slight difference in height from one slab to
the other. It is probably only the thickness of a piece of paper in
difference but when you pass your hand over it or slide a wine glass or
coffey cup over it there is a clunk. They did send a guy back once to
"finish" the seam and he did smooth it out quite a bit but I'm
wondering if that's as good as he can get it? I don't know what is
possible with granite or how difficult it is to do something like this.
If it is a really big deal and some height variation from slab to slab
is expected then I'm ok with it but If it possible I would like to have
the two sections even. At the back of the seam they are even and it
makes for a nice transition, very smooth and no clunking as glasses and
cups pass over it. The fellow who did the seam work didn't seem to
like doing it. Which is always a bad sign.
