There s going to be a seam in my new beautiful gleaming countertop.
If granite slab edges do not happen to meet at a kitchen fixture builders and contractors often put them in areas that may be covered up during typical use such as near a stove or a corner ideal for a dish rack or microwave.

Seams are typically hidden in places where they would be less noticeable such as next to a sink or refrigerator.
