Quartz countertops are typically cut and fabricated to fit the stovetop and sink openings before installation at an offsite warehouse or fabrication facility. This process involves taking precise measurements of the stovetop and sink dimensions in the kitchen where the countertop will be installed.
Once the measurements are taken, the quartz slabs are cut, shaped, and polished to the required size and specifications for the stovetop and sink cutouts. This pre-fabrication process ensures that the countertops fit perfectly in the designated spaces and minimizes the amount of cutting that needs to be done on-site during installation.
During installation, the pre-cut countertops are transported to the site and carefully placed on the cabinets or support structure in the kitchen. The installers may make minor adjustments or trim the edges as needed to ensure a seamless fit, but the major cutting and shaping should already be completed beforehand. This approach helps reduce installation time and potential mess in the customer's home.
