UBA TUBA??
I have a picture of a red pick-up truck with a license plate that says UBA TUBA. Anyone here own it? ... or know who does?

I did my counters in a simulated Uba Tuba pattern (using Silestone - they don't offer that pattern anymore.)
This is the real stuff - hides dirt really well!

I have never understood this - if it "hides dirt", how do you get it clean?David Richoux wrote:I did my counters in a simulated Uba Tuba pattern (using Silestone - they don't offer that pattern anymore.)

Re: UBA RUBA??
Yeah, this stuff is one of the most common (and inexpensive) counter top granites. It's all over my kitchen and I just had to have a new piece of it cut. My wife loves rock as a furniture/wall/floor material (granite counter tops and kitchen table, marble dining room table on marble pedestal, tiled -- walls and floor -- bathrooms, slate floor on family room, cultured marble tub and walk-in shower, ...). There is now a moratorium on this since I can't add any more additional support to the floor joists and foundation. No more Uba Tuba, please.

Is this Brazilian stone really any better than the Northern Korean copy?
