IT'S NO MYSTERY

If you are in the middle of updating your home, there is so much of the construction process that can seem like a mystery! You are doing everything you can do just to pick out the right material, then your contractor keeps throwing out terms like templates, edge profiles, fabrication....it can be very overwhelming if you have never done it before. Following is a quick course on countertop selection and installation:

1. Measure Up! Your Bedrock designer will come by your home and measure your countertop or review your plan so we know exactly how many slabs will need to be purchased.

2. Select your granite. This can either be fun or frustrating. Get help from your Bedrock or Rite-Loom designer. They will take you through the process so you can select just the right slab for your project and select your edge detail (what the edge of the countertop will look like when it is finished)

3. A representative from Bedrock will then come to your home and create a template that they can bring back to the shop and use to fabricate/cut the stone. This template is laid on to the granite slabs you have selected, then is traced for the fabrication process.


4. The installers come to your home and remove the old countertop. They also disconnect and remove the old plumbing, sink and backsplash.

5. A plywood underlayment will be installed to insure that the slab is level.

6. Now, here comes your granite! Once just a large piece of raw stone, it is now a 600 pound beautiful countertop!

7. The installers will put the slabs and backsplashed in place, then seam the pieces together.

8. They will then place your sink and other plumbing fixtures in place. Your plumber will attach the equipment.

9. Bedrock will then seal your countertop. This will protect the material against stains or stratches.

10. ENJOY your beautiful new kitchen.
