Quality Ottawa Granite: The Installation

Whether you go with Ottawa granite, quartz, or marble – a beautiful piece of Ottawa granite can turn what should be a beautiful kitchen, bath or barbeque into a mediocre mess. TNT has extensive Ottawa granite installation – unfortunately this isn’t the norm as there are many Ottawa granite installers who don’t understand the complexities of Ottawa granite installation.

So, what does a really good Ottawa granite countertop installation look versus one that is… not so much? A few things to look for when looking at an installer’s previous Ottawa granite work. .

• Is the Ottawa granite level? There is a difference between flat Ottawa granite countertop and a level one. Get your level – check the work yourself.
• Are the Ottawa granite countertops properly set? Ottawa granite is especially heavy so it does not require a lot of help to remain in place. Gluing Ottawa granite to cabinets with liquid nails or epoxy is overkill, and when removal is needed, it can be disastrous.
• Ottawa granite sink mounting. Properly mounted Ottawa granite sinks to Ottawa granite countertops is a science. Blobs of glue around the bowl rim indicate shoddy workmanship.
