Our Silestone Countertop Installation Process
- Taking Measurements and Cut: Firstly, our experts will take measurements and cut the silestone to fit the countertop. We will use the wet saw for cutting the worktop and measuring tape to ensure accuracy.
- Surface Preparation: Once we have the perfect-sized countertop, we will remove the existing worktop, clean it, and make any repairs if required.
- Mortar and Grout Applications: Next, we will apply and spread the mortar using a trowel and grout using a putty knife.
- Countertop Sealing: Once the grout and mortar are in place, we will employ silicone sealant to seal the corners of the worktop in order to make it water-tight.
- Countertop Installation: Lastly, the Silestone worktop will be installed using a cordless drill to secure the cabinets’ worktop.
