Templating
After you have selected your stone material, the first step in fabrication is to create a pattern on which to base the slab cutout. Our goal is to work with you to minimize the amount of time between templating and installation of your countertop. A countertop is ready for a template when:
- The existing countertop is removed
- The cabinets are:
- Secured to the wall
- Level
- Flat
- Square
- Fillers between cabinets are in place
- The sink is on-site
- Appliances are on-site:
- Stove or cooktop
- Refrigerator
- Dishwasher
- The person creating the template also needs to know:
- If any cabinets will sit on top of the countertop
- If an appliance garage will be installed
- If the sink is a farm or apron sink (must be set 1/8″ below the cabinet deck by the cabinet installer)
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have additional questions about preparing for template and installation:
