About this project

The challenge

The homeowners wanted mitered edges, and Dekton is a hard material to miter cleanly. The kitchen also called for a backsplash and custom window sills cut to match the counters. The existing layout meant everything had to fit the cabinets and fixtures already in place.

The solution

We templated the room with StoneEx digital laser templating and set the specs for each miter, backsplash piece and window sill. Metal plates support the weight of the countertop. The window sills were made to match the counters so the stone reads as one.

The result

The Sirius surface looks deep and even, and the mitered edges are crisp. The backsplash and window sills carry the same stone through the room, with under-cabinet LED lighting adding warmth.

The challenge in detail

Complex Mitered Edge Fabrication

Dekton Sirius is a sintered stone known for its durability and strength, and the same hardness that makes it last also makes it harder to work. The homeowners asked for mitered edges, where two pieces are cut at an angle and joined at the corner, and getting those joints clean in such a hard material was the main fabrication challenge.

Two other elements had to match the counters. The design included a 6 inch backsplash and a custom window sill, and both needed the same care in measuring and cutting so the stone would look consistent around the room.

This was also an existing kitchen. The countertops had to integrate with the cabinetry and fixtures already in place, so careful planning of the layout came before any cutting started.

How we approached it

Fabrication Techniques for the Miters and Sills

StoneEx digital laser templating captured the measurements of the kitchen. Those measurements fed directly into CNC cutting, which produced the mitered edges with a clean, consistent finish in the hard Dekton surface.

Weight was handled from below. Metal plates reinforce the countertop, carrying the load of the stone and keeping the whole assembly structurally sound over time.

The window sill was fabricated with the same care as the countertops, so its color and edges match the counters. Carrying one material from the work surfaces to the window gives the kitchen a cohesive look, and it means the backsplash, the counters and the sill all read as parts of a single design rather than separate pieces added later.

The finished project

A Seamless and Elegant Kitchen Update

In the finished Bellevue kitchen, the deep, rich color of Dekton Sirius is the main feature, and the mitered edges give the counters a clean, solid profile from every side of the room.

The 6 inch backsplash and the custom window sills join the countertops so the stone flows from one surface to the next. Under-cabinet LED lighting washes across the counters and highlights the stone, which helps both for work at the counter and for the look of the space.

Dekton's durability suits a kitchen that gets daily use, and its sleek appearance fits the modern style of the room. The result is a kitchen where the stone, the lighting and the existing cabinetry work together as one finished design.
