It was fascinating to watch the Quartz Surfaces crew install the Cambria countertops in the kitchen of the “L” Shaped House. I arrived at the house as they were about to place the third section of perimeter countertop material along the back wall of the kitchen. This posting will serve as a step by step documentation of the process.
- The material is carried into the house (preferably by a couple of big guys)…
- The sections are carefully placed on the base cabinets…
- The “L” Shaped House has five pieces of Cambria. The island and desk are separate pieces. The perimeter countertop comes in three sections…
- The perimeter countertop is glued together at the two seams using a tinted epoxy. The separate pieces are aligned and clamped for gluing using a vacuum holding fixture…
- The process includes a glue gun with a mixing tip, two sets of vacuum clamps, a few wood working clamps, a handful of single edge razor blades, and a bunch of paper towels…
- Once the countertop is in place the sink is attached and the faucet arrangement laid out…
- The gas cooktop is “dry-fitted” in the cut-out…
- The faucet holes are drilled…
- And finally the faucet layout is tested…
