The guys from Solidtop did the installation of the granite countertop. Firstly, the measurements of the hobs were taken and drawn on the wood underlay on top of the kitchen cabinets. Then the holes were cut using a machine. Once done, the granite slabs were also cut accordingly but not completely through.
The granite slabs were then cemented or glued on top of the wood underlay.
My countertop was too long so a separate piece of granite was needed. Both the granite pieces were glued together at the joint. A skirting of about 1 inch was also glued on. The joint line is not very esthetic so it was decided that the joint be at the same margin as the roller shutter cabinet. So, just a small portion of the joint can be seen.
Then, it was time to cut the granite again.
The 2 openings for my induction and vitroceramic hobs. Aluminium foil stickers were taped onto the margins to prevent water damage.
The installers were very professional and took about an hour and a half to complete the installation. Any problems with my granite top, just give them a call.
