Natural stone is created when one or more minerals consolidate into a solid formation, creating a stone block.
To make countertops, the stone blocks are removed from the quarry, cut into 2cm and 3cm slabs, and polished. Skillful blending or matching of the dimension stone blocks, veneer panels, and tops, results in a beautiful blending of nature's variety and man's design.
In contrast to the uniformity of materials produced by machine or assembly line, stone's naturally varied appearance has spectacular character. Each slab is unique.
Measure the area you would like to cover carefully. Take wastage into account to ensure you will have enough material to complete the project. Also, keep in mind that the material from a quarry today may be different from what was available six months ago or will be available in the future. Additionally, there may be more than one quarry of the material. Clean natural stone surfaces with a neutral pH stone cleaner which are available at many retail stores and tile and stone dealers or a mild liquid dish-washing detergent and warm water.
Choosing a quality blade for cutting your stone slab is imperative. Before you select a diamond blade for your project, be sure you know what kind of stone you are going to install and select the proper kind of diamond blade for the install. Some stone is harder than other types so you may need a blade that is designed to cut harder stone.
The idea is that you do not want to just blindly select a diamond blade and begin cutting. Although cutting the sink hole can be done with a router, some installations do not require such a cut out.
If yours is an installation that does not require a profiled edge inside the sink hole, you can simply create the opening using an angle grinder and the proper diamond blade. Just like with the bridge saw blade, you will want to choose a blade for your angle grinder that is designed for the kind of stone you are cutting. This is where you will appreciate the straight cut that a good quality bridge saw provides. Place your countertop pieces on the surface and line them up.
This step will allow you to verify that the pieces of stone have been properly cut before securing them. Once you have verified that the stone is cut properly, apply your countertop adhesive to the surface and lay your stone in place. Also, use your level to verify that the stone is level. If you need to adjust the surface to make it level, shimming the stone is a good technique.
