(EstateNewsWire.com, August 03, 2012 ) Walled Lake MI – Though the concept of installing new kitchen countertops and cabinets may seem easy enough, there are many issues a building contractor can run into. As with any occupation, the longer one works in a particular industry, the more skills one gains. These skills are often the trade’s secrets. Granite countertop installers are among those professionals that have plenty of tricks to get around the obstacles and do the job right.
When speaking with granite countertop installers one quickly learns that each installer has his or her own secrets of the trade that make the most intimidating task appear easy. Everything from handling the stone surfaces to cutting and polishing the edges, even setting the granite countertops in place can be made easy when one has the knowledge of a veteran installer.
While each installer may have their special technique used in cutting a granite countertop, all 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. Professional installers like Surface Encounters (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/) use high-tech equipment to prevent cracking or chipping of the granite while it is being cut.
After the granite countertop is cut, the stone fabricators polish the show surface to give the countertop a professional finish. They take care to properly secure the slab to prevent scratching of the show surface.
Once the countertop is properly secured, some granite installers polish 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. These old-school methods are not used by Surface Encounters. Their automated technology allows them to complete this process more quickly and accurately for a perfect and flawless finish.
Surface Encounters kitchen remodeling specialists have their own tricks and techniques for installing the finished product. They never tear up a customer’s kitchen until the new countertops are ready to install, so the kitchen remains functional until remodeling day.
Professional granite countertop installers have learned over years of repetitive installations, the best ways to do handle the job safely and efficiently. A good policy used by professionals to prevent damage to granite countertops is never handle the granite countertop alone. Most granite installation companies send at least two installers to manhandle the heavy granite into place.
