NEWS - TIPS
- Backsplash. Select backsplash granite or tile according to your design. You have some time to change your mind here since the backsplash will be installed last, but it helps to have an idea for your backsplash design that may only require minor changes.
- Sink, Faucet and Appliances. The dimensions of your faucet and sink, bathroom faucet and sink and every new kitchen appliance must be known prior to installing granite countertops . Sinks, faucets and appliances must fit the cabinets and slab size and seams and cutouts all depend on precise measurements so start shopping and choose early.
- Choose an edge finished profile for your marble or granite .
- Schedule for a template for your countertop, fabrication and installation date. Typically, your installation will occur one week after you finalize your choices and pay your deposit--so plan ahead.
- Deposit. A 50% deposit is usually required before work begins.
- Templates are made at the installation location (remember to clear off your existing countertops).
- Fabrication. Your countertop material is purchased and cut to size along with the edge design.
- Tear Outs. The day before your installation your old counter tops are removed.
- Installation day! Also, your sink and cook top are mounted. The adhesive on an undermount sink will need 24 hours to fully cure.
- 13. Granite Sealer. Sealant is applied (if necessary) as the final step in your marble or granite countertop installation.
Celebrate!
Your installation is a success! Well, there are many steps involved, but the key links are picking out the material and color, the faucet and sink and/or bathroom faucet and sink, any appliance and the backsplash design. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time so you're not making these decisions two weeks before!
