Could you tell me the name of the countertop you are using? Looks like a cambria?

White counter tops
Q

I have a white corian and love it. It brightened the kitchen so much. I think the Only thing you can set hot pots on is ceramic tile. I have made trivets out of pretty tiles. Go to the store and find a tile you love buy one or two and then cut felt slides that stick, like for the bottom of a chair leg or buy precut ones. These are great! I use them on lots of things. They are under my coffee pot, toaster, large cutting board, garbage bowl I keep on the counter, anything I move that's kind of big or heavy on the counter. Corian requires no sealing. Only thing that has thought about staining so far was grated carrots, or the skin gratings from carrots. But then I just worked on the spot lightly with a scotch bright pad. I saw somewhere that someone else tried a mr clean eraser n corian. Staining in my integrated white sink is zero. Installed in January 2013. I have had corian in a previous house with no problems also.

Wooden countertops - recipe for disaster?
Q
Comments (2)
I’ve had my oak counter tops 16 yrs and my kids have gone from toddlers to young adults in that time. I would have smashed every glass in the house with quartz, although I have it around the sink insert as wood would have been a disaster there. Keep the counter tops looking good with a light rub down with a cloth with oil every so often, especially if it looks as if it’s getting dry. We’ve rarely had scratches as it’s reasonably resilient, and only once did I have to gently rub a scratch out with fine sand paper. I use a small brush to clear up crumbs and that limits the number of times I’m wiping it down with a wet cloth throughout the day. Have plenty of mats at hand for hot cups and plates and clear up any spillages reasonably quickly - the oil will protect the surface to a degree but if a spill such as coffee or red wine is left it will eventually soak in and may be a problem to sand out. I was advised against a clear glaze painted on to the wood and I am glad now that I didn’t have it done. Hope this helps.

Laminate or Paint?
Q
Comments (0)
Hi, My dilemma is this: we’ve just purchased a house and have a tight budget for our kitchen upgrade. We would like to EITHER paint the cabinets (light grey) and go with a wood-like laminate worktop OR we could leave the cabinets as is and put in a quartz countertop (carerra marble effect) which we really like. Thoughts?? I posted a photo of the kitchen now. Thanks!

White quartz with veining?
Q
Comments (0)
Looking for an quartz countertop that is a true white background with grey or black veining. We pulled probably 10-15 samples in the store yesterday. Once they were held up to a white and gray backsplash sample, they ALL looked too creamy/beige next to it. Any advice or have you seen the same issue look less noticeable once installed? We found a black Silestone that looks great with the backsplash, just can't decide if we want black.
