Templating
The templating process is a critical step in the counter top installation process. It involves creating a precise template of the area where the granite worktop will be installed. This template serves as a map or guide for the cutting and shaping of the granite slab to ensure a perfect fit and finish.
To begin the templating process, one of our experienced technicians will visit your home or job site to take detailed measurements of the area where the granite worktop will be installed. They will ensure the measurements are accurate to the nearest millimeter.
Once the measurements are complete, the technician will create a template using a specialised material such as plywood or plastic. The template will be carefully marked with all necessary cutouts, seams, and edge details, ensuring that the final product matches the original design and specifications.
After the template is complete, it will be brought back to our workshop, where our skilled craftsmen will use it to cut and shape the slab. This process involves using advanced machinery such as CNC routers and waterjet cutting machines to ensure precise and accurate cuts.
Overall, the templating process is a crucial step in ensuring that your granite worktop is custom-fit to your space, we are a Granite and Stone company that pride ourselves in achieving the best results.
Fabrication
The fabricating process is a complex and highly specialised process that involves several steps:
Inspection and Selection: The first step in the fabricating process is to carefully inspect the granite slab for any defects or imperfections. The slab will be selected based on the desired colour, pattern, and thickness.
Cutting: Once the slab has been selected, it will be cut into the appropriate size and shape using advanced machinery.
Edging: After the slab has been cut, it will be shaped and polished to create the desired edge profile. This can range from a simple straight edge to a more intricate ogee or bullnose edge.
Seaming: If the worktop requires more than one slab to complete, the slabs will be seamed together using a special epoxy adhesive. The seams will then be carefully sanded and polished to create a seamless appearance.
Surface Finishing: The surface of the granite worktop will be finished to the desired texture, such as polished, honed, or leathered. This process involves using specialised equipment and abrasive pads to create the desired finish.
Quality Inspection: Once the fabrication process is complete, the granite worktops will undergo a thorough quality inspection to ensure that it meets our high standards for quality and craftsmanship.
Installation
The installation process typically involves the following steps:
Preparation: Prior to the installation, the area where the counter top will be installed will need to be cleared and cleaned. This includes removing any existing worktops, appliances, and debris.
Delivery: The worktop will be delivered to the job site in Nottingham, Derby, Sheffield or Leicester on the scheduled installation day. Our team will carefully unload the worktop and bring it into the house.
Dry Fitting: Before the worktop is permanently secured to the cabinets, a dry fitting will be performed. This involves placing the worktop on the cabinets to ensure that it fits properly and that any necessary adjustments are made.
Sealing and Adhering: Once the dry fitting is complete, the stone worktop will be sealed to prevent stains and secured to the cabinets using a special adhesive. Our team will ensure that the worktop is level and that any seams are securely joined.
Finishing: After the worktop is installed, our team will apply any necessary finishing touches, such as caulking around the edges and attaching sink fixtures.
Clean Up: Once the installation is complete, our team will clean up the job site, removing any debris and leaving the area clean and tidy.
Which Material should I have?
Granite, Quartz or Marble Worktops?
There are several types of stone kitchen worktops available at A.K Granite and Stone Solutions, each with its own unique benefits. Here are some of the most popular options:
Granite worktops: Granite is a natural stone that is extremely durable, heat-resistant, and scratch-resistant. It is available in a wide range of colours and patterns, making it a versatile choice for any kitchen.
Quartz worktops: Quartz is an engineered stone that is made by combining natural quartz with resin. It is non-porous, which means it is resistant to stains and bacteria. Quartz is available in a variety of colours and patterns and is a low-maintenance option for busy kitchens.
Marble worktops: Marble is a luxurious natural stone that adds elegance and beauty to any kitchen. It is heat-resistant and has a smooth, cool surface that is perfect for baking. However, it is more porous than granite or quartz and can stain or etch if not properly sealed and maintained.
