7. Will I have visible seams in my kitchen and bathroom countertops?
This depends on the chosen material, the size of the material, the size of your countertops and the access of your kitchen and bathroom.
However, with our Slab Layout Program, you will be able see how the seam(s) will look. We will use the actual template we make for your countertops and your chosen slabs. You will be able to approve or make changes where possible before we begin to cut your countertops.
This way you can design your final look and know exactly where the seam/s will be placed.
8. When should the plumber come out to disconnect the pipes and re-connect the pipes once the countertops are installed?
One day before and also one day after the installation.
You will need the plumber to disconnect the existing pipes one day before the installation of your countertops and one day after the installation to reconnect the pipes.
It is very important to wait until the next day to have everything reconnected to give time for the the seam(s) and silicone use to attach the sink to dry.
9. Will my kitchen and bathroom countertops have stains?
Stain visibility depends on the chosen material and its color.
However, to minimize stains, we offer a 15-year micro-sealer for natural stone to help protect your new countertops.
Again, we recommend always cleaning up spills when they happen to lessen the chance of staining your new countertops. No countertop material is 100% stain proof.
