What IS 'Granite Transformations'?

There are reasons the word 'Filler' has bad connotations.

Is it, "looks are deceiving"? or "looks are only skin deep."?
So how do they 'transform' your existing counter tops ? As you can see they install this stuff right over-top of the existing laminate counter tops. If there is a drip edge on the front they grind that off flat. The sheets of GT can be formed to nearly unlimited lengths and widths, so they can create huge joint free countertop pieces. Including 'U's, 'L's and islands, etc.
But, 90% of the work they do has to be done with straight corners and angles.. Notice that there are no smooth curves on the front of this counter, nor in some later pictures you can see how they do sink installations as square boxes.
If the customer wants a rolled front on the counter like you would have with slab counters GT has to build up the front of that 1/4 inch thick sheet (kind of like you do for a corian top) then machine the rolled edge on it.
Yep, all of that white stuff is filler. And that much filler, anywhere makes me nervous. That white blob is NOT thin set or cement, its somewhere between the consistency of foam and joint compound.
Imagine what that extra large cast iron frying pan is going to do to that filler when it collides with the front edge of the counter..
I can almost see it now, the 10 year old decides to surprise mom on mother's day by making her breakfast and like all kids, uses the BIGGEST pan he can find. Goodbye counter top.
GT, guarantees that their product won't crack and if it does they will correct any problems that arise.
In my mind as an old schooler, that much filler.. That's a problem..
