Guide to the Countertop Installation Process
Material Selection
Choosing the right countertop material involves selecting the color, pattern, and edge profile that best suits your design preferences and lifestyle needs. It’s important to consider factors like durability, appearance, and maintenance to ensure the material complements your space effectively.
Getting an Estimate
Please contact your designer for pricing. If you don’t have a designer, reach out to us for assistance in finding one.
Design and Template Creation
Using precision laser measuring equipment, a digital template of your countertop layout is created. This template accounts for dimensions, cutouts for sinks, faucets, and any other variations and customizations.
Important: All sinks, faucets, and cooktops must be on site during the templating. Go here to see sink options from our suppliers
Final Slab Selection and Layout
Visit Epic Stone showroom for full slabs or your local dealer for samples. Natural stone can be viewed and selected in person by visiting (https://www.epicqc.com/book-online) and scheduling an appointment.
Important: After the template is created and the materials are at the ready for fabrication, customers can schedule a “layout” session with Surface Resource. This will allow you to visualize the countertop and adjust vein placement and pattern flow.
Fabrication
Skilled craftsmen cut the granite or quartz slab to exact specifications using specialized saws and CNC machinery. Edges are shaped, and surfaces are polished to the desired finish
Granite and Marble Only
Schedule an in-person consultation to measure your space and discuss preferences.
Important: Work with your designer for estimates. If you aren’t working with a designer, reach out directly to Surface Resource.
Installation
The installation team carefully transports and installs the countertop. They secure the slab properly and apply necessary sealants to enhance durability. View installation videos
