Production:
The
first step in the production of stone counter tops is the making of the
templates or patterns by the Project Manager. Depending upon the size and
complexity of the design, the process may take from one to three hours to
complete and contain all the information necessary to fabricate your work
including the placement of seams. The patterns along with your plumbing
fixtures, cook top and anything else the is to be built into your counter
tops will be brought to our shop.
The
project manager and saw operator, or fabricator, review the information
and determine how to best produce the work. Consideration is given to as
to how to cut the stone in regards to the natural features of the stone
and the lay out of the counter tops. The materials are then cut to the
patters and the individual sections and milled and ground to ensure an
exact fit. Any steel re-enforcements that may be required are done at this
time.
The
work is then handed to over to the finisher whose responsibility is
produce the edge treatments, under mount sink opening and the myriad of
details required to make the finished product. These small details make or
break the job. Many are so subtle that the inexperienced will miss them
completely. They make the difference between a beautiful counter top
installation and a run-of-the-mill job.
The
installation of the completed counter top is over seen by the project
manager. The counter tops are carefully packed for transportation to the
job site. Upon arrival, they are installed in a pre determined order. The
counter tops installed, the seams are sealed and all built in fixtures
installed. The counter tops are then given a last coat of cleaner-sealer,
caulked against the cabinets and walls. |
