MOUNTAIN SIDE TO INSIDE YOUR HOME...

Granite countertops are a popular choice for homeowners and interior designers looking for a durable and attractive surface for their kitchens and bathrooms. But have you ever wondered how these beautiful countertops are fabricated and installed? In this blog, we'll take you through the process step by step.
Step 1: Choosing the Granite Slab The first step in fabricating a granite countertop is choosing the slab. Granite is a natural stone, and each slab is unique, so this step is critical to ensuring that the finished product meets the customer's expectations. The customer will typically visit a granite supplier to choose their slab, selecting one that meets their desired color, pattern, and size requirements. These slabs were originally in the side of a mountain and have been cut out and sliced into the 3cm slabs you will see at our shop.
Step 2: Creating the Template Once the slab is selected, the fabricator will create a template of the countertop's shape and size. This is done by making a digital template of the countertop area using precise laser measurements. This template will be used to ensure that the final product fits perfectly in the customer's space.
Step 3: Cutting the Slab The next step is cutting the slab to the appropriate size and shape. This is typically done using a specialized CNC saw with a diamond blade that can cut through the dense granite. The saw will follow the template created in the previous step to ensure accuracy.
Step 4: Edging the Countertop Once the slab is cut to size, the edges are shaped and polished. There are many different edge options to choose from, including straight, beveled, bullnose, and ogee. Another CNC will route the chosen edge using a series of specialized diamond tools and tons of water.
Step 5: Installing the Countertop Once the countertop is fabricated, it's time for installation. The installation process involves several steps, including attaching the countertop to the cabinets using adhesive, leveling the countertops, and sealing the countertop to prevent damage from spills and stains.
In conclusion, the process of fabricating and installing granite countertops involves several steps that require precision and expertise. By choosing a skilled fabricator and installer, homeowners and designers can ensure that their countertops are not only beautiful but also durable and functional for many years to come.
