(EstateNewsWire.com, October 17, 2012 ) Richmond Heights MO -- As with any specialty, the longer one works in a particular industry, the more skills and experience they gain. Some of these skills will become the trade’s secrets. Surface Encounters granite countertop installers are among those professionals who have developed their own unique tricks of the trade.
When interviewing granite countertop installers consumers discover that each installer has his or her own secrets of the trade that make the most difficult job appear easy. Everything from handling the granite slabs to cutting and polishing the edges, and finally setting the granite countertops in place appear effortless by a contractor with the knowledge of a veteran installer.
While each granite countertop installer may have their own special technique for cutting a granite countertop, most will agree on the type of saw to be used. Granite is a natural stone and considered to be one of the hardest countertop surfaces to cut, which is why a diamond saw blade is the tool of choice in the industry.
Once new granite countertops are cut, the professionals polish the show surface to give it a professional finish. Some granite countertop installers will secure the granite with a C clamp using a wood block between the clamp and the countertop to prevent scratching of the exposed surface.
Once the countertop is properly secured, the old-school stone fabricators begin polishing the edges by using fifty grit sand paper. The process is repeated using finer and finer grain sandpaper until the desired luster is achieved. The show edges are then polished after sanding them to acquire a perfect finish. Many granite countertop installers use a rubbing compound and an electric grinder to speed up the polish process. According to Surface Encounters (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/), not only are these methods time consuming, they also leave room for imperfections.
Surface Encounters has their own unique tricks of the trade that distinguish them from over 95% of granite countertop installers. Their use of advanced technology reduces the time consuming work described above by using automated machinery to measure, cut and finish the new granite countertops with precision and accuracy. Their investment in high-tech, computer controlled equipment saves time and money in granite countertops production, a savings they proudly pass onto the customer.
A good policy used by professionals to prevent injury to themselves and avoid damage to the home, is never handle the granite countertops alone. Most granite countertop installers send at least two men to handle the heavy granite slabs.
Professional kitchen countertop installers at Surface Encounters have learned over years of repetitive installations, the best ways to ensure quality while producing granite countertops more quickly than their competitors. Visit http://www.granitecountertopsrichmondheightsmo.com/ to learn more.
