Talk:Countertop

Article quality
I don't edit, but it really pisses me off when 1) Someone attacks Wikipedia and, 2) The rare instances when Wikipedia gives someone a legit reason to attack it. This page is clearly copy and pasted, or, giving the authors a benefit of a doubt, not in compliance with basic guidelines. To the poor, well-meaning contributor that stumbles across this obscure talk page one day: sorry for my inabilities to help, thanks and cheers! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.238.202.38 (talk • contribs) 21:54, 11 January 2010

meaning of the word
I was wondering if anyone knew where the term came from. Counter itself can have many meanings, does anyone know why it was applied here? Killemall22 (talk) 00:00, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Porous
"Quartz is naturally non-porous " and then just a line or two below we learn that "engineered" quartz surfaces are "less porous than natural quartz surfaces". It would be nice if we had some actual facts to quote to the unwary reader, instead of cut-and-pasting advertising copy from the 1000001 Web sites shilling for countertop makers. --Wtshymanski (talk) 22:27, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Silestone countertops kill people!
Countertop (Redirected from Silestone) Yet "Silestone" is not in the article. I wonder why? See regulatory Capture.

NPR just ran a story on the dangers of quartz Silestone countertops. The dangers are all over the internet. --2602:306:CFCE:1EE0:D83B:FAE6:9F4C:D3EA (talk) 02:47, 22 November 2019 (UTC)Just Saying
 * Obviously "Big Countertop" has paid off the Wikipedia. Cite it and write it. It's not the countertops that are the problem, it's the dust made during fabrication.  But there are already OSHA regulations fo exposure to silica dust. --Wtshymanski (talk) 03:39, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
