As one of the charter members of the Stone Fabricators Alliance (SFA) and a frequent user of the StoneAdvice.com Forum, I have had ample opportunity to see what the end users biggest complaints are. Over the years, I have noticed a trend that customers are continually complaining about the seams in their new countertops. All these customer complaints about new granite countertops can’t be good for the industry as a whole. Why is it that with other countertop materials, the industry standard is a seam that can hardly be seen, yet with granite, this is not the case? Isn’t it time that we begin to change the industry standard for seams and provide our customers with a countertop they can be proud of?
