Installing Granite Countertops
Granite is the first choice for many new builds and remodelled kitchens and homes. Granite offers an artistic and exclusive impression that cannot be found in other materials used for kitchen countertops. Granite is the hardest material that is available for kitchen countertops and it is also the most expensive material to use. This does not however stop interior designers and home owners from using granite.
The majority of the cost is not just for the granite itself but for the labour costs such as, cutting, polishing and installing. Typically, Granite countertops should be left for professionals to install. Although it may cost you less when installed without a professional, the installation of a granite countertop has to be installed correctly otherwise damages may occur. To save on cost, cookers, hobs, sinks and old countertops could be removed without an professional, trust a professional to get the rest of the job done right.
After your granite choice has been quoted, then ordered, a professional member of our team will go to your home and draw out templates for installation. This process ensures correct and precise measurements for your granite countertop. Our professionals will take seams into consideration, as seam lines within the granite pattern or grain can be noticeable. A template created by a professional will also establish if any specialized tools will be required.
To ensure that a customized granite countertop will be supported in any installation, metal rods and plywood may be added to the cabinetry. This is to construct a strong and level support for the granite, also adding support for the sink and hob. There can be slight variatons in thickness of the granite so careful attention needs to be taken to prevent the slab from breaking when being installed and used on regular basis. Levelling is a very important process to protect the stone from damage.
Granite slabs are cut with a diamond tipped saw that cuts precisely to the measurements of the created template. For a look that is flawless, there are different profiles to choose that create smooth outlines and joining seams will be sealed to be less noticeable. If any other materials are requested, the installer will put these in to position and will then apply a finish that will seal and polish the surface.
Installing a granite kitchen countertop should be left to professionals and not seen as a 'Do it Yourself' job. Granite may be the hardest material available, however granite can be very delicate when not handled and installed correctly. Adding granite to your kitchen adds value and attractiveness to your home.
