Installation of Solid Surface Countertops
Home » Kitchen » Solid Surface Countertops » Installation of Solid Surface CountertopsSolid surface countertops are not typically for the do-it-yourselfer because they need to be installed by a professional. Usually the fabricator of the countertop also prefers to be the one to install it for you in order to control the process and quality. It is best to install the countertop as one piece after it is seamed together, but if the countertop is too large, the fabricators have the proper equipment to seam the two pieces together once in the home. They use equipment that includes a tool for dust extraction, clamping and finishing so the seams have no air between them whatsoever. Unlike other countertops, solid surface countertops are not screwed in or nailed down, but attached with a silicone caulk that allows the countertop to expand and contract. Installation of solid surface countertops into a new home usually takes a few hours, while a remodel project may take a full day.
