Hi
I have a few problems re granite:
Our granite Cesar White black/grey/white mix is all over our house (supposedly supplied from the US, but I now suspect it came from China ...has in the bathrooms encountered problems:
- Some slabs have darkened and despite being kept dry have never returned to their original colour. The supplier says installation was poor...the screed was not dry in some areas when the stone was laid. Is this correct.
- Some slabs have rust looking stains appearing. (why...the supplier says that it is caused by iron in the granite...is this common or only in lesser quality?
The supplier has acknowledged that the installation may have been faulty and that their may be a problem with the granite and has suggested replacing everything. They have suggested replacing all the floor granite with either
- Black granite (which I do not want as I believe it will show every mark, water smear etc...they insist this is not the case...also don't really want a very black bathroom) What are your comments.
- Quarella Bianco for the bathroom floors which is a marble composite and has already shown signs of staining where it is placed on a shelving area in the bathroom. Its fine on the walls.
The company who installed all the bathroom materials have acknowledged to a number of owners in our development that they will change the granite. I would also like to recommend a supplier of reputable standing. I would appreciate your advise
Regards,
Lynn Hesketh.
