(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 02, 2012 ) Sterling Heights MI -- As with any special skill, the longer one works in a particular industry, the more knowledge and skills they gain. These skills often become the trade secrets of the business. Granite countertops installers are among those professionals that have plenty of tricks to get the job done right.
When shopping for new granite countertop and talking to the installers one quickly learns that each has his or her own secrets of the trade that make the most intimidating task appear easy. Everything from handling the large, heavy granite slabs to cutting and polishing the edges, even setting the granite countertops in place appear effortless when one has the knowledge of a veteran installer.
While each installer may have their special technique used in cutting a granite countertop, most will agree on the type of saw to be used. Granite is a natural stone and considered to be one of the hardest surfaces to cut, which is why a diamond saw blade is the saw blade of choice in the industry.
After the granite countertop is cut, the professionals polish the show surface to give the countertop a professional finish. Some granite countertops installers will secure the granite countertop with a C clamp using a wood block between the clamp and the countertop to prevent scratching of the show surface.
Once the countertop is properly secured, the old-school granite countertops installers begin polishing the edges by using fifty grit sand paper. The process is repeated using finer and finer grain sandpaper until the desired luster is achieved. The show edges are then polished after sanding them to acquire a perfect finish. Many installers use a rubbing compound and an electric grinder to speed up the polish process.
Surface Encounters use of high-tech automated technology reduces the time consuming work described above by using advanced machinery to measure, cut and finish the new granite countertops with precision and accuracy. Their investment in high-tech, computer controlled equipment saves time and money in granite countertops production, a savings they proudly pass onto the customer.
A good policy used by professionals to prevent injury to themselves and avoid damage to the home, is never handle the granite countertops alone. Most granite installation companies send at least two installers to manhandle the heavy granite into place.
Professional granite countertop installers at Surface Encounters have learned over years of repetitive installations, the best ways to ensure quality while producing granite countertops more quickly than their competitors.
