1. Slab Inspection

Whether it’s quartz or natural stone, each slab is carefully inspected for its unique marks, veining, color patterns, and any “unusable” areas. This ensures our team can plan seams and vein matching perfectly — avoiding natural blemishes and enhancing the stone’s natural beauty.

2. Template Placement

Next, our experts place the templates on the slab to achieve the best layout for space efficiency and design flow. This step ensures your countertop looks visually balanced and makes the most of every inch of stone.

3. Stone Cutting

Your slab is then placed on a bridge saw, where a diamond blade and water are used to make precise cuts following the template. Guided by our skilled sawyer, this process defines the exact shape and dimensions of your countertop.

4. Fabrication

The cut pieces move to fabrication, where we make detailed modifications for sinks, faucets, and fixtures. Reinforcement rods are added to weaker areas when needed, ensuring long-lasting durability.

5. Polishing

Each piece is polished using a sequence of fine-grit pads, gradually achieving the desired smoothness and finish — from subtle matte to mirror shine.

6. Finishing

Finally, your countertop is inspected one last time for perfection before it’s delivered and installed in your home — ready to impress for years to come.
