Installer’s Checklist for Large Projects
Pre-Delivery Planning
- •Verify Slab Quantities: Confirm total slabs needed per unit (e.g., 2 per kitchen benchtop) to avoid shortages.
- •Inspect Crate Labels: Ensure each crate is labeled with project name, unit number, and slab dimensions for easy identification.
- •Coordinate Delivery Route: Plan drop-off path to minimize handling; each slab weighs approx. 100-150 lbs.
Site Organization
- •Designate Storage Area: Use a clean, dry, level space near installation site. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent thermal stress.
- •Proper Crate Stacking: Stack no more than 2 high with wooden spacers to prevent cracking. Mark each crate with barcode or unit number.
- •Check for Damage: Inspect each slab for chips, cracks, or discoloration upon arrival. Report issues within 24 hours.
Installation Prep
- •Measure Twice, Cut Once: Use templates for precise cuts, especially for sink and cooktop cutouts.
- •Test Fit: Dry-fit slabs before applying adhesive to check alignment and seam placement.
- •Use Professional Tools: Diamond blades and wet saws recommended for clean cuts on marble.
Handling and Safety
- •Team Lifting: Use suction cups or a team of 2-3 people to move slabs. Avoid dragging to prevent scratches.
- •Protective Gear: Wear gloves and safety glasses during cutting and handling.
- •Crate Disposal: Recycle or dispose of wooden crates responsibly.
Post-Installation Care
- •Seal the Surface: Apply high-quality stone sealer after installation to enhance stain resistance. Re-seal annually.
- •Clean with Care: Use pH-neutral cleaners; avoid acidic products like vinegar or lemon juice.
- •Inspect Seams: Check for gaps or uneven edges and fill with color-matched epoxy.
