Bought a half sheet today thinking I am going to save a little money. Get the piece and find out that the customer wants to increase the splash size. Wouldn’t you kow it, the top won’t fit now.

So I call the order desk and I have to buy another half sheet. Now I got two cut charges (one was deducted) and two delivery charges. This sucks. I should have just bought a full sheet and put the rest in a pile. Maybe I could have used it on another job later.

I think it depends if its a color you might use again.

Andy:

“customer wants to increase splash size”. Fine. Let him pay for it. That should easily cover the cut charges and then some.

Half sheets are a loss for a distributor also, that other half sheet will lay around for months before you can sell it. It will become non color matched material, and, all fabricators always ask for the whole job to be color matched. I would love NOT to have to do half sheets.

I use half sheets for vanities alot, but talking to my Meganite rep they have 2cm sheets that are 10′ long and I forget exactly how wide, but it was enough to do a 22″ top with a 4″ splash, and the price was good.

We buy full sheets only. We have this builder that comes in and picks vanities from our left over stocks for his condos. We give him some break on the price and we are all happy.

Amir, sounds like the perfect plan for leftover half sheets. Makes me want to bolt a half sheet on the side of my truck when I go to the Depot.
