My counter tops were done in 2007 and it worked fine on them - its all in the preparation. So - take some FINE steel wool and rub off any water stains first, give the whole counter a thorough cleaning, and then apply the sealer.

Hi,I am in seach of a good countertop oven to use mostly for the rotisserie feature and for meat, pork and not chicken - most reviews focus on baking and chicken. Would you have any specific suggestions or just features/ qualities that I need to look for? I take it that convection would be big deal here. I see a lot of complaints about how flimsy the applicances look and the external heating... Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Yes, I have had mine painted for 2 years and no chipping has occurred. I receive constant comments from guests saying they cant believe its painted. They really thought I had granite counter tops.

The sink looks great with my new granite counter top. The sink is very durable and I love the extra large/deep side for big pots. The low sink divider works well for washing the pots. Once a month or so I wipe the sink down with mineral oil or olive oil to keep the sink looking good.

we have granite with quartz. But it was recommended to us to seal the counters beforehand. It's much easier to clean the counters now. We will put more sealer on I think every 2-3 years.

I have granite counters and have never had an issue with it sliding. I really like this product. The only thing I can think of that is wish was different is the glass could be bigger.

I just bought the film. And my counters turned out great. So the discription above is all you need. I have done 4 sets of counters and they all look great. It takes time and patience but I get a lot of compliments. I'm doing my grandmas counters for her this weekend.

Ours looked exactly like the picture. The granite IS speckled. The contact parts are all lighter, but just the shade the stone turns when it is not polished or coated. Hope that's helpful.

I personally don't recommend as counter top, surface is not as smooth as a granite or laminate, if the groute work is not good there is a possibility of skin cut as it is a glass , I used this on wall for a look

He just means that unless you use a heat source (i.e. a hair dryer) you won't get the sharp edge of your counter. However, if you look at real granite, the edges aren't pointy, even on squared edges. I think it looks great either way. I use a hair dryer in order to get my excess to stick tight before trimming it up.

Absolutely, I installed two of them in my kitchen. I had a granite counter installer drill two holes cost me $100. I am extremely happy. You should know that the pros have the tools and the knowledge. Iis a lot easier to point than cut the holes yourself.

I do still love this sink, its beautiful. BUT I will say that I do have some chips/scratches on both front corners. They're small and hard to see but they're there which is frustrating. Could've been the way the sink was installed or how the countertop was laid over it. We have quartz counters so they're quite heavy. It also seems to stain pretty easily - if I have a pot or pan in the sink for a day or two I find I'm scrubbing extra hard to remove any ring it left. In hindsight - as much as I love the sink and this type of sinks - I'd probably not go with an apron front sink, and stick with an undermount stainless steel or granite sink! Good luck. I am sure you'll be happy with either choice!

I have the same question about concrete countertops. What did you end up using? Thanks!

I have a marble counter top and its works perfect! I can not speak for other style of counter tops.

I did a lot of research on their site and found large pics to examine. It looks as if the countertop model does not have a lip to catch the hole in your countertop. Otherwise they do look identical. Iwas trying to save some cash too but decided to pay the extra and not risk having to return. Hope this helps.

I hated it!! I bought about $130 worth and it was all destroyed by the time I tried installing it. The reminder of it all is still painful :-) it doesn't move once it's down(water or no water). If you have a back price to be covered or a corner. .forget it. It just doesn't look right or install easy. It tears..The sink was a joke. Anyway. .I wound up buying the Rustoleum Countertop Transformation kit in Java chip at Menards ($100 less than Lowes) $150. And did my counters. They look AMAZING! Super messy with the chips flying evevywhere at times but the end result was beautiful and extremely durable. I'm very picky yet frugal. The Java chip is the way to go. Debbie
