(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 06, 2012 ) Fort Wayne IN -- Installing granite countertops, while labor intensive, will also save the homeowner money as well as increase the value of their home. For the more adventurous and skilled homeowner installing kitchen cabinets and countertops may be the most rewarding home improvement projects they undertake, especially when they choose to install granite countertops.
Granite countertops are beautiful and durable and will last the lifetime of the house. While installing granite countertops may be more labor intensive than traditional laminate countertops, the value added to the DIYÂ’s home is well worth the added labor.
Before installation, accurate measurements must be taken of the countertop area. It is important to add the amount of overhang that one desires on their countertops. When installing the granite countertops be sure to have plenty of help. Granite countertops are heavy and come in large sizes that are not easy to handle. It is important to have plenty of space to store the granite countertops until installation so that they will not be accidently chipped or scratched during counter preparation.
Granite countertops installation requires the right tools to ensure accuracy and perfection. Common tools needed for installation are a level, caulk gun, screws and circular saw equipped with a diamond-tipped blade.
Most kitchens are not level. DIYÂ’s should be ready to shim their cabinets allowing granite countertops to sit level. When ready to set the granite countertops in place, silver dollar-sized drops of silicon need to be applied to the back of the granite countertop and the plywood to hold the granite countertop in place.
After adhering the countertops to the plywood, the seams in the countertop needed to be sealed. It is suggested by Surface Encounters Granite Countertops company, that the DIY add colorant to the silicon sealant for a more professional finish.
Doing projects oneÂ’s self saves money and in todayÂ’s economy saving money on your budget is even more important. Installing oneÂ’s own granite countertops is a challenge, but DIY homeowners will feel the personal accomplishment of increasing the value of their home.
