Thank you so much for the video. Granite has been increasing popular, but, of course, there are a lot of fun facts most people are not aware of.
Thank you very much for this video. God bless you
Great video for DIY lovers. Good job.
Very semple, easy to understand ..Thanks for your video.
Thanks for this tutorial! Is a sub top be used before affixing the granite? Additionally, what should be the maximum height of the back splash? Good job. Need an early response.
When did you guys attached the undermount for the sink?
Thanks for the comments. This video is meant to show do it yourselfers how to install stone countertops with the supplied tools- while there are many other ways of doing things with different tools, this is just one example
-thanks
very good job where did you buy the cupsthat the seam make
Nice Cecilia light granite
Great job I love it to , i do the work to help me to continue
good video. thanks.
Nice. Professional !
Technology has advanced a lot, this could have been done way faster now,
Really....how
what size is this and are supposed to be? why my faucet looks farther back counters look bigger and cabiners and everything standard size?
Desde de Brasil
Gracias
Great job! Can you tell me the tool used to hold the sink
Amazing video thanks a TON. Cheers
good job
Why wouldn't you silicone from underneath the cabinet?
Sometimes the leveling with a shim makes gap on the front side. You don't want to have these gaps there.
Where can i buy the little car from and the rest of the tools that you are using?!...cause I've been installing them and let me tell you sometimes those shits can be very heavy and hard to move around
Omni cubed
good work
Thanks
Is there no need to use any sort of adhesive to secure the granite over those cabinets. Is that little amount of silicone on the edges enough to keep it from moving?
Correct, the bead of silicone around the edges is enough to hold large countertops in place. If you have a small piece, you may want to apply a couple of dots of silicone on the top of the cabinet and set the countertop on top .
@@diygranitequartz3014 Thank you!
have you ever lifted granite before lol
Standard overhang off the front face of cabinets is actually 1.5”. Peninsula and island overhangs should always be supported over 10” for granite and 12” for Quartz. Quartzite and marble can often only be 8” without support depending on the specific stone.
You should also always use a two part knife grade epoxy (with colors) instead of the liquid two part used in the video. I’d also recommend a more permanent sink mounting method such as a never fall sink kit instead of stone plugs and clips which always fail over time.
This video is very generalized, and somewhat bad, information. Pros also laser or material template the job. Not just measure.
If you’ve followed this video and your excessive unsupported overhang broke, your sink fell, or you seam has come apart then call The Stone Saver to get it repaired correctly.
Lol that was a easy install
3cm isnt always 3cm. Give or take 1/16. I install granite countertops everyday. The cart is a huge back saver!
Edit: dont use integra for granite. Use flowing and epoxy (epoxy to color match the top with beauty bead)
very profisional
@@anon8079 do you buy anything from xiamen china?
where do i rent the tools to move my quartz /
frenchis19 the tools are part of the trailer rental- the trailer/tool package is available for rent at our Kimball, MN location.
We rent the trailer and tools out locally (Minnesota)
What kind of epoxy do you use on quartz seems?
we use integra adhesives
The join tool where I find her
Josue Martinez aliexpress
No 3/4 plywood?
Plywood for what
Plywood only for 2cm stone.
Plywoods are needed only for 2cm or 3/4 stones
This is whoni install
How do I make the bull nose
learn from this guy, th-cam.com/users/GraniteMonkey101videos
Pro never measure his job but do templates and seam most likely must be on the center of the sink ,so you got tiny seem !!!
Never put the seam in the middle of an under mounted sink. Too tricky to blend the joins in, and even then once the sink is there you don’t want to be going near it with a grinder!
Beading round the front is not the way to do it with a hand painted kitchen. You should lift the worktops and put little dabs of silicone at the fronts before doing any seams
DIY granite installs should not be done. If done incorrectly you will end up with broken worktops, quartz is a lot more forgiving. Better to pay a pro to install than replace the stone at your cost down the line!
This is not professional at all from what i see im 20 only been doing this 1 year i never use tape to silicone the tops on the corner he didnt even put epoxy on all of it
dang you tell them! he's 20 guys. he would never do what you guys did! he's 20
Weak and too old assembly strategy;) Not many procedures are required but also many insurance elements before and during assembly are missing;)
These guys are Mikey mouse installers. It might look ok in the end but this is old school way of doing things.
In what way is this old school? They appear to have used the undermount sink clips which u epoxy into place, they use seam setters and nice transport tools. Do tell
At least they masked everything before caulking. But how do you mean old school?
@@JensenDWard you don't need to mask, an installer knows how much to put there. Masking tape ha! it's just a waste of money and time.
@@JohnDoe-lt9sg There is many ways to install a sink. Every good installer has those tools.
@@ncstonefab1 They show how it can be done by average guy. They are doing good job.
Good Video but not professional!!!
And professional does what other way exactly?? I do granite installations and I don't see a problem here. I would just cut the glue excess way earlier.
Those were pre-fabricated countertops, I know that because the way they did the seam.
Actually they are custom tops. We added a seam in this job so we could show how to install with a seam.
We would never do it that way because it looks pre-fab.
A CNC machine will do seams like that.
Those are definitely pre fab material those seams are the worst by far to work with & what if you didn’t have electricity how would you use your seamless pneumatic seam setters? Lol
@@PIMPINTIN99 And what exactly is wrong with the seam, please?
Are u hearing?
