Stone Selection and Seams
Granite is a natural substance mined all over the world. Natural Stone Concepts maintains close quality control over all color selections and individual “slab selection” is usually not necessary. Because of our desire for you to be completely happy with your stone installation, you are welcome to visit in order to preview and/or approve the components or slabs to be used in your home or business. During fabrication of your stone product into countertops, great care is taken to lay out the slab(s) to minimize waste and place the seams in the best location for structural integrity and visual aesthetics.
Estimate/Detail Visit (approx. 30~60 minutes)
Measurements are taken for estimating and quoting purposes - we will need to be able to measure all existing countertops and/or new cabinets. Please move or remove any appliances or other items that may be in the way of measuring. All options will be discussed including: sink type, number of faucet holes, slide-in stove or drop-in cooktop, backsplash, and edge profile.
Templating Visit (approx. 1~2 hours)
· Templates (or patterns) are made from existing countertops and/or new cabinets.
· New cabinets must be completely installed and level.
· We need the make and model of cooktops, sinks and faucets. If the sink is an undermount style, we need the sink at our shop before any fabrication can begin.
· Locations for seams, faucet holes and accessories are discussed.
Installation Visit (approx. 2~6 hours)
· Sink cabinets and cooktop cabinets must be completely cleaned out.
· Undermount sink(s) will be mounted to the granite. Additionally, drop-in sink(s) and the cooktop (if applicable) will be set in place to verify fit.
· Disconnection and reconnection of all plumbing, ventilation ductwork, and fuel lines is the responsibility of the owner and/or sub-contractor. .
