Author: StonemongerSubject: Want a seamless counter in UbaTubPosted: 01 Dec 2009 at 9:47pmI suspect you only hate the seam because you have seen seams that were done poorly. If it i s done by a skilled professional, tight, level, smooth, and finished with a color matched resin, the impact is minimal. Most slabs come between 105" and 130" with the freakishly long ones being around 137. I have only heard once or twice about slabs in the 144" range, but those are incredibly rare. Other factors are things like cutouts and the rest of the shape. There is a practical limit to how large a piece the installers can safely move without damaging the stone, your house, or themselves.If I could see a drawing of the whole job and get a sense of how the stone would enter your home, I might be able to make a recommendation, but your fabricator/installer would have the final say. One important point as well: If you go for the lowest price among several potential installers, you are likely to get a bad seam. Those making the least money on a job are less likely to spend the extra half hour it takes to do it right.
