Serving Brick Township, NJ, American Granite Designs offers Granite and Marble Custom Countertop Fabrication and Installation services that involves the process of creating and installing countertops made from natural stones like granite or marble for residential and commercial use. Our services typically include several steps:
1. Consultation and Design:
- Initial Consultation: A meeting where homeowners or business owners discuss their preferences, needs, and budget.
- Material Selection: Customers select the type of stone (granite, marble, or sometimes quartz or other materials) and the specific slab they want. Granite and marble are popular due to their natural beauty, durability, and unique patterns.
- Custom Design: Our fabricator helps design the countertop, considering factors like size, shape, edge profile (beveled, rounded, etc.), and cutouts for sinks or appliances.
2. Measurement and Template Creation:
- On-Site Measurement: We visit the site to take precise measurements of the space where the countertop will be installed.
- Template Creation: A template is created (digitally or manually) based on the measurements to ensure the countertop fits perfectly in the designated area.
3. Fabrication:
- Cutting the Stone: Using specialized equipment, we cut the slab of granite or marble to the exact dimensions specified.
- Edge Polishing: The edges of the countertop are shaped and polished according to the customer’s design preferences.
- Surface Finishing: The stone surface is treated to achieve the desired finish, such as polished, honed (matte), or leathered (textured).
- Custom Features: If needed, the countertop is customized with cutouts for sinks, faucets, or other fixtures.
4. Installation:
- Transportation: The fabricated countertop is carefully transported to the site.
- Placement and Leveling: The countertop is positioned on top of the base cabinets or supports, leveled, and secured in place using adhesives.
- Sealing: To protect the natural stone from stains, a sealant is often applied after installation, especially for porous materials like marble.
- Final Touches: The edges are finished, seams are sealed, and any hardware or fixtures (like sinks) are installed.
5. Aftercare and Maintenance:
- Cleaning Instructions: Customers are provided with guidance on how to properly clean and maintain the stone.
- Resealing (if needed): Some stones, like marble, may require periodic resealing to maintain their appearance and resistance to stains.
