The granite counters in your kitchen or bathroom undergo a process that transforms them from slabs of raw stone to gleaming, polished countertops. That process is called fabrication, and it is undertaken by a stone fabricator. The fabricator works from a template, which is used to trace the outline onto the granite that was selected by the customer.
D&D Home Interiors, LLC, specializes in fabricating solid surface countertops in Vancouver, WA, and Portland, OR. The staff also helps you choose the material for your home improvement project. The process includes a template that shows the dimensions of the installation to know exactly how much stone is needed. After the precise measurements are taken, the type of stone, veins, shading, and color are selected among the available stone options.
A fabricator is also an outstanding quality control coordinator that helps customers get exactly what they need and expect. While they help customers make their selections, most of the decisions are made before the fabrication process begins. The fabrication process is the last final inspection for stone flaws, including blemishes, fissures, seams, and scratches. After the slab is laid out, it is cut and edged to further shape the stone. Once the installation requirements are met by the fabricator, a grit polish is used to smooth the stone surface. Afterward, the stone is washed, dried, and the sealer base coat is applied before it is finally ready to be installed in your home.
