So just discovered the slab of quartz cracked before the install time yesterday. Run to Spokane pick up new and start over. The slab was defective and cupped like a potato chip. Warranty claim. But customer is livid and it is a no win. Just an average day running your own business.

That sucks LL. And the customer should chill; it’s not like u installed, left and he noticed crack. Hopefully all went well in the end.

I agree. We should cut most of it off and push it into the sea. I could use some of that Ocean Front Property in Arizona.


Ummm, excuse me! Just cause I was smart and moved to the beach and you chose the kalahari desert, doesn’t mean you can just get coastal property because of sports viewing!

Actually the new slab cracked in the same place yesterday. Beside myself and don't know what to do. Putting in a call to Dupont for guidance. It appears to be a stress crack like it released pent up pressure in the slab. Very weird.

Is it likely they came from the same source rock? Could be a flaw in all of the peices that were cut from the same base

This is a man made product under high pressure and heat. Much stronger than natural stone and much more consistent. That is why it is my go to product. That and the ten year installed warranty through Dupont. It is the best product in the business. That is why I am stumped.
