Quartz Install


I know I've mentioned this a few times, but I really love the last part of a remodel. It's when all the fun stuff starts going in and transforms the space almost daily. We'll be 90% done by the end of this week. Very cool.

Anyway, I went up to the house yesterday to check out the installation of the quartz tops made by caeserstone. This particular product is a newer finish for the quartz materials and looks awesome. Most of the quartz tops are seen in a gloss finish while this one is more of a honed look. It almost comes off like a limestone - it's gorgeous. We also have a knife mitered edge to allow for a thicker profile . . . I think it's a 2" drop here. Here's a few photos, keep in mind it's still kind of dirty. First, let's take a look at the overall shot:

We still have the two upper cabinets being repaired so they're not installed yet. Once they go in, we'll have the glass slab backsplash installed along that wall. Below is a photo of the sink install. It's a really nice rectangular sink in stainless steel. I think it's made by Houzer . . . anyway, the white covering on it is to keep it from being scratched during construction. You can see the small hole at the back of the sink for the future faucet.


This next photo is a closer view of some of the materials coming together. You can see the detail of the quartz top as it's intersected by the wenge wood at the fridge enclosure as well as the teak wood. The wall in the background will eventually have the glass slab on it and strengthen this intersection of materials even further.

That's about it for now. If I get a chance I'll head up there again later today, if not I'll get up there tomorrow and check the progress. Have a great day!!
