Sparky here. Everybody's heard the story about a guy working on a live plug over an stainless countertop and zapped. Urban legend style is usually that the guy gets paralysed and everyone just walks past him thinking he's just jerking around and spending too much time like your average apprentice. I've never seen it myself, but it'd take some pretty particular circumstances for that to happen.

How about an ipe countertop? See picture.

For those who aren't familiar with ipe, it is supposedly the hardest wood in the world. I've heard that they can't even hammer nails into it, but have to drill holds and bolt it with special bits.

Some years ago, there was a fire along a boardwalk that had the usual woods but with ipe in places. While the usual woods were destroyed, I understand that the ipe was hardly damaged at all -- maybe a few scorch marks.

In a nearby town, they have a Community Dinner for anyone who doesn't have anything else to do on Christmas. And, of course, there is nothing but community tables.

It's too bad that they don't do this on Christmas Eve instead. This past Christmas Eve I had to go to the doctor after fracturing bones in my hand the night before. Our big Christmas meal is on Christmas Eve and I had to miss it. If there had been a Christmas Eve community meal, I would have happily gone there to eat after I got out of the doctor's office.

Cheap looking and not suitable for a home where you know you can maintain something more enjoyable and attractive.

>tile?
Most of the time, it is cheap looking on the countertops (fine on the backsplashes), the upkeep of the grout is ugly and uneven, and not hygenic long term. Less durable, where one or two can get cracked, and nearly imposible to make repairs. When you house shop, and there are tiles on counter surfaces, they saved $$$ versus a solid surface instead. ie cheap looking do-it-yourself job.

not as durable as marble, but quite a bit prettier. In black, though, it harkens back to my Chemistry Lab mindset, which is a good or a bad thing, depending on your feelings. It can feel like work, or it can feel soothing and anti-glare on the eyes for the worksurface in a sunny room.

In places that need zero contamination like a galley in your boat, or your vacation condo, smooth and impeccably clean stainless steel can be part of making a building okay to be sealed up for a while unoccupied.

The saddest thing about this picture is that someone put a lot of effort into making that kitchen, and it wasn't cheap. Like I don't care how beautiful that house is, I wouldn't buy it just based on that kitchen alone.

But then again I've always been of the opinion that kitchens should be plain, almost boring. I've always had a thing for 90's style kitchens, if that's even a thing. That might just be a nostalgia thing though. I just remember everybody having the same the exact same looking kitchen back then.

Quartz is honestly better, and 95% of what we install these days. Natural stone is a niche within a niche these days

Granite isnt popular anymore? Also I built a house a couple years ago and this stuff they referred to as solid surface was coming out. Any idea about that stuff?

Never use bleach on quartz/natural stone worktops. If you get a persistent stain, use Cif on it

Not in England at least. It costs more, takes more care and if its not treated right youll end up with covered in marks and chips.
Granite and marble are very weak at 20 or 30mm,
Quartz, dont put hot pans on it, dont use bleach, wipe coffee and red wine spills up straight away and it will last a lifetime

wrong. quartz isn't porous like marble/granite so it's not the actual stone absorbing the liquid and staining. maybe in bong land you use some shit resins that stain proper quick yeah.

[Anonymous No.15754002]

>>15753954
Our stone comes from India, quartz from china, and porcelains from Italy.
I never said it was porous. I said wipe up liquids that stain, quickly.
Oh and anything acidic as well. Lemon juice, vinegar. It can eventually take the polish off

Youre wrong though. Im 6' tall and I work under the cabinets easy and I can just barely reach the shit on the top shelves.

Huh? The hood is too high to actually work as intended to suck up vapors that carry oils and smoke. I said nothing about cabinet mounting. But, hoods should be 24-36 inches above the range or they're just decorative.

Not if you use thick steel. The only problem is that it WILL get scratched and that's a bad look. On the bright side, you can always polish it back up. I knew someone that had varnished wood countertops in their kitchen that really brought aesthetics up to another level. The best thing about it too is that you can re-varnish it after a few years and capture all the cut marks and stains under the new coat which really gives it a nice rustic look, pic related.

It's all fun and games till a few scratches pop up, and hopefully its backed with sound dampening solid type material behind it so it doesn't sound like you're hitting tin cans like you're a 8yr old.

is that actually all solid quartz slate even behind the cabinetry? boy howdy the height of functional luxury. but the boys who work in the factories die at 45 of crippling lung disease. They died like coalminers of their generation. Limit your Respirable Crystalline Silica exposure with an actual N95 dustmask regardless of your industry, no job is worth your life and the difference can preserve your quality of life long term. don't be too proud for PPE. this has been true long before "2020"

If I was building a house and not worried about the budget, the kitchen, the bathrooms, and the laundry room would all have drains in the floor to handle things like sinks or toilets overflowing or washing machines leaking.

They often look really nice, but it seems to me that they would be a bitch to clean.
