PRE-TEMPLATING CHECKLIST
|
A. General Conditions
Actual sizes of slabs and quantity have to be available at time of Templating. (Should have been purchased)
Unsupported overhangs shall not exceed 6" on 3/4" countertops or 10" for 1 ¼ "countertops. In an overhang condition, the supported area must be firmly secured and properly anchored to insure that the unsupported area, when loaded, will not cause failure of the setting material. If overhang exceeds maximum amounts, the cabinetmaker or builder must add proper brackets, legs, or other rigid support. |
|
B. Cabinets
Cabinetry is installed on a true plane and level to within 1/8" in ten (10'-0") feet. Areas to receiveslab are stable and rigid and capable of supporting the weight of slab. Stone counters and rough tops rely on the secureness and strength of the cabinets.
|
|
C. Rough Tops
Counter and horizontal surfaces to receive slab have rough top preinstalled. 5/8" thick plywood, installed flush
with cabinet face unless noted otherwise. Reinforcement may be required in areas in front of cutouts to insure that they can adequately carry the weight of the stone without flexing (stove or sink cutouts). We recommend waterproof exterior grade (CDX) or marine plywood beused. Rough top plywood is installed true, plane and level, variation not to exceed 1/8" over a 10-foot span. Rough top has been inspected for lippage. No lippage greater than 1/16". Lippage is a condition, which occurs when adjacent plywood edges are not flush with one another. All cutouts (i.e. sinks, cook tops, holes) have been made and are complete. The technician cannotmake these decisions.Rough top is firmly secured and properly anchored, free of dirt, dust, oil, paint or other coatings that may prevent bonding of slab to rough top. |
