- There are several methods by which stone counter tops can be installed. Consideration should be given to the various features of each method in making a selection for a specific installation.
- Exposed stone edges must be gauged to the precise thickness specified.
- Counter tops may be sealed or unsealed depending upon location and conditions of usage.
- If counter top is used for food preparation, make certain sealer applied is non-toxic and safe for food preparation.
- Adequate support of stone should be designed into the counter base to prevent accidental fracturing of the stone after installation.
- If a bowl or other type hole is required it is recommended that the actual fixture be used as a template, because of unspecified variations in shutters and apertures.
- Oily putty or sealants should never be used in contact with stone.
- Some installation methods and materials are not recognized and may not be suitable in some geographical areas because of local trade practices, building codes, climatic changes or construction methods. Therefore, while every effort has been made to produce accurate guidelines, they should be used only with the independent approval of technically qualified persons.
