![]() Granite countertops range from $45-$200 per square foot (installed) and quartz countertops range from $75-$150 per square foot (installed). In comparison to granite and quartz, porcelain falls below the average price of both of these other countertop options. Like with any counter product, the final price is affected by many factors, including the color, pattern, texture, and edge style, as well as how complex the installation process is. Porcelain countertops range in price from $55 – $120 per square foot (including installation). Image via PRECISION STONE DESIGNS HOW MUCH DO PORCELAIN COUNTERTOPS COST? Cracking is only a big issue during the handling, moving, and cutting of very large slabs. Once installed, however, porcelain is extremely hard and durable. The thin slabs can crack more easily than granite or marble during fabrication, so many fabricators don’t enjoy working with porcelain. The full-sized slabs are delicate to cut and work with, so it can be difficult to find a countertop fabricator that is willing to install a porcelain slab. This, of course, is a bonus, BUT there is one problem when it comes to how thin porcelain is … This allows one slab to cover an entire island without the need for seams.ĭue to the thinness of porcelain countertops, they can be installed directly over your existing countertops if you are doing a kitchen (or bathroom) remodel. Also, it can be manufactured in very large slabs that are roughly 126” x 62”. The typical thickness of porcelain countertops is ¼ inch (6 mm) or ½ inch (12 mm). PORCELAIN COUNTER DURABILITYĪlthough extremely durable once installed, porcelain slabs can be quite lightweight and thin. So most people opt for a simple square edge to preserve the surface pattern and color. Cutting a rounded edge, for example, would remove the pattern. Since the patterns and colors in porcelain are only printed on the surface, edge styles are more limited than with natural stone or quartz. Porcelain countertops are unique when it comes to the edges. īut remember … the pattern and color will not be on the interior of the slab because it is only applied to the top surface of the counters during glazing. ![]() Like many other countertops, porcelain countertops are available in a wide variety of colors and patterns that resemble natural elements (e.g. Unglazed porcelain, on the other hand, has the same color on both the surface and the interior of the slab. This means that the interior color may be a different color which becomes a problem if the surface is chipped (because the differing interior color will show). One of the major drawbacks to glazed porcelain is that the pattern or color is only printed on the surface and does not go through the entire body of the slab or tile. However, glazing increases the durability of the slab, while also creating a shiny finish and decreasing porosity (which means a decreased risk of staining). Porcelain can be either glazed or unglazed. This combination of materials is put into a kiln together and fired at extremely high temps … which results in a dense material that is very strong, almost fully impervious to stains, heat, UV rays, scratching, chips and cracks.ĭuring porcelain countertop manufacturing, pigmented glazes are added to create different patterns and colors on the porcelain slab. Porcelain is a man-made product created from a clay called ‘China clay’ and it is a combo of a mineral called Kaolinite, along with Silica, Feldspar, and other minerals that work together to create the strength and durability of porcelain. While porcelain countertops are only recently gaining popularity in the US, they have been used in Europe for several years now. If you’ve heard about porcelain countertops and you’re curious about what they are and if they might be a good fit for your home, you’ll find this (in-depth) overview of porcelain countertops (complete with pros and cons) very helpful. Recently I learned about porcelain countertops and, as always, I dug right into researching and learning all about this particular finish … and I’m sharing everything I learned below :). One of my favorite things about talking with members of my ‘ Building Your Foundation’ Program is that I constantly learn about new products and finishes that weren’t available (or at least weren’t popular) when I built my home back in 2013.

Last week, Cruz asked US President Joe Biden to pressure López Obrador’s government to combat violence against journalists as the country was going through deep civil unrest, which would cause the collapse of civil society and the rule of law.

He warned in a radio interview on Monday that as many as 100 people might die, advising his constituents to stay in their houses: “Don’t risk it,” he said. Realistically, it also sounds like Cruz understood the extremity of the winter weather battering Texas this week.

And, okay, yes, his decision to flee with his family as millions of others hunkered down in their dark, freezing homes - as the Texas death toll climbed past 20 people - admittedly does not look great! But please, Ted Cruz is begging you, do not blame him for this dereliction of duty: It was his daughters (ages 10 and 12) who wanted the vacation, and well, what was he going to do - simply say no?Ĭertainly, that would’ve been one option, some might even say the obvious option.

As a result, they had no idea what was happening in their day. Their interpretation of the Scriptures that referred to the Messiah was hopelessly wrong.

Looking for competitive advantage in a growing market Has your Model S radar been disabled? Let us know in the comments below. Or don’t take your car in for a service visit. It appears the only way to keep the radar connected in your 2021-2022 Model S is to be running 2022.20.8 or earlier as the 2022.20.9 version was the one that disabled radar. From what we have been told these Model S and Model X cars have the upgraded hardware, but the software to take advantage of it has not been developed and are therefore not using the new radar units. What makes the disabling of these radar units strange, other than the explanation that it is to increase range, is that Tesla is now shipping Model S (and Model X) cars with an upgraded high-definition radar unit that forms part of Hardware 4.0 (HW4). Since the service bulletin was issued numerous other refresh Model S owners have replied saying their radar units were also disabled during service visits for other reasons, with some saying their Homelink was mistakenly disconnected at the same time. ![]() Other reason provided was that the units are susceptible to water ingress and can become damaged, but if they aren’t being actively used anyway why go to the effort (it requires removal of the front bumper) and expense of removing it in the first place. And with Tesla Vision now handling all of Autopilot and active safety features, there is no need to keep it connected. When inquiring further about the bulletin with an employee, it was explained that is a proactive fix from Tesla and that while the bulletin doesn’t exactly outline why but one reason given was that they still consume energy and the vehicle’s range might be increased without it connected. Along with being disconnected the car’s software is updated to trick it as if there is no radar there. The topic of radar has popped up on the Tesla Motors Club forum, where user ‘black night 3’ said last month the automaker had issued a new Service Bulletin for his 2022 Model S to disable the front radar. So far the disabling is limited to the 2021-2022 Model S running software 2022.20.9 or later, with employees explaining it is being done because they are no longer needed after the switch to Tesla Vision. In some cases, water may even escape from the openings of the liftgate itself, as shown in the video embedded below.Ī service appointment should fix the issue permanently this time around, with Tesla saying that the repair can be made either at a Service Center or via the company’s Mobile Service crews.Īs always, we’d like to know what you think about this, so head over to the comments section below to give us your thoughts.Tesla has started disabling radar sensors from some vehicles during routine appointments at Service Centers. Model Y owners can tell if they have the issue described in this latest service bulletin if they notice water on the seals around the trunk or in the sub-trunk.

Now it looks like Tesla will use a different sealant to possibly stop the problem from reappearing. ![]() Although the instructions for the fix aren’t detailed, looking at the list of required parts, it seems that Tesla will replace the liftgate lamp double-ended stud gaskets and the liftgate lamp connector gaskets, as well as using some Loctite hybrid polymer and sealant to prevent further leaks.Īccording to Drive Tesla Canada, the American EV company has been aware of this issue for a while, but some owners who went to service their vehicles the first time had to return a few weeks or months later because the issue had made a comeback. This procedure is aimed at service technicians, and it looks like the amount of time needed to complete the repair is 1.8 hours, according to the service bulletin. If this symptom is present, reseal the liftgate assembly. Inspect inside the trunk area for signs for water leaks that came through the liftgate assembly. The document (SB-23-10-003) is dated Apand says that “water may have leaked inside the rear trunk area through the liftgate assembly,” with the correction of the problem being described as follows: Tesla has issued a new service bulletin as it tries to address the problem of water ingress that appears on 2020-2023 Model Y crossovers built at the Fremont and Austin Gigafactories. ![]() If you have any suggestions, please send your ideas!Ģ015 MA Tax Rates | 2016 MA Tax Rates | 2017 MA Tax Rates | 2018 MA Tax Rates | 2019 MA Tax Rates | 2020 MA Tax Rates | 2021 MA Tax Rates | 2022 MA Tax Rates Table of 2020 Ad Valorem Tax Rates in MassachusettsĬlick table headers to sort by column Town See the Massachusetts Department of Revenue website for additional information about qualifying property tax exemptions.įor more information about exemptions for seniors over 70, veterans, and legally blind persons, please contact your local assessors.
