Marble countertop installation and repair steps
Step 1: Firstly, measure the area that is being fitted and ensure the marble fits to the countertop. We ensure the marble fits snug, flushed, level and squared onto the plywood.
Step 2: Secondly, our professionals ensure that the slab of marble is fitted correctly. Remove the marble from the surface then apply the silicone adhesive. For instance, if the cabinet needs a plywood substrate or not. We know what amount to apply to the surface of the plywood or the frames of the cabinet.
Step 3: Thirdly, carefully set the countertops in place by setting the back in place first. Lower the front of the countertop onto the silicone without smearing the silicone. Clamp the slab down to hold the countertop in place.
Step 4: Moreover, once the countertops are set in place, apply strips of painter’s tape to the seams. Apply the tape as closely as possible to prevent epoxy from coming to the marble surface. However, epoxies have to be mixed to achieve the color to match the marble. Mix epoxy with the pigment to achieve the desired color. Pour the mixture onto the surface and use putty knife to get it into the joints.
Step 5: Most importantly, overfill the seams on the countertops as we can sand away the excess when it dries. Mixing more epoxy than needed is good, as we make sure to get all the seams. It will be difficult to re-fill gaps or cracks after.
Step 6: Once everything dries, remove the tape and sand away excess epoxy. Apply enhancer-sealer to the countertops after installation. The enhancer and the sealer will make the colors more striking and protect the stone respectively. In conclusion, Cleveland CounterTops advise our customer to reapply the enhancer-sealer every year or two.
