Countertops Remodel best Materials ?
I am new to the forum and need some input. We just bought our friends 1988 Carver Mariner . Its is great shape but I am redoing interior . I am thinking of using Silestone ( quartz /1.2cm on the countertops ) . Curious if anyone has used this or quartz in a their boat If so how is it working ? If not what materials would you recommend? Grateful for any and all help!

Re: Countertops Remodel best Materials ?
I've seen both natural and composite tops on many boats. Every top that I've seen cracked has been natural stone. I suspect installation practices may have something to do with it but boats also flex a bit under certain conditions and may contribute to the issue. Weight is also a concern. Try to keep the weight down as much as possible, too much additional weight can cause other issues such as listing to one side, affect performance and safety.
