Step 5 of 6

Installation

Pieces are brought in, dry-fitted, leveled, set and finished, then we walk the result with you.

About this step

What happens

We plan the route into your room, then dry-fit the pieces to check fit, overhang, seam position and cutouts before anything is fixed down. The surface is leveled, the pieces are set, seams are joined and color-matched, and cutouts are fitted to your actual hardware. Natural stone is sealed, the surface is cleaned and we walk the finished work with you, including how to care for it.

Who does it

Stoneex Surfaces' team oversees installation, from the delivery route to the final walkthrough. Your plumber and electrician handle final connections for the sink, faucet and cooktop.

What you need to do

Clear access to the room and the route in. Book your plumber and electrician around the install date, and tell us at booking if you want your old countertops removed.

Part of one project

Installation Is Part of the Project We Manage

You are buying a finished, installed surface, not a slab or an appointment. Professional installation is one of the steps Stoneex Surfaces manages, after design understanding, material and slab selection, slab layout, digital templating and fabrication, and before post-installation service.

Most installations are ordinary kitchens, bathrooms and countertop replacements, and they should feel simple. When a project is not ordinary, the same team plans for it.

When the site is not simple

Planning for Difficult Access, Heights and Remodels

Some installations are shaped by the building as much as by the stone. These are the conditions we plan for before install day:

  • Existing cabinetry, appliances, plumbing, electrical, walls and framing in a remodel
  • Difficult access, lifting and the order in which pieces go in
  • Oversized or difficult pieces, and seams that must keep the surface visually continuous
  • Stone and porcelain panels on walls, at heights up to approximately 24 feet
  • Supports and structural details that call for an engineered solution

After installation

Service After the Stone Is In

Post-installation service is part of the process, not an afterthought. Long-term relationships matter to us: some customers come back after about 16 to 17 years for their next project.

Seam positions are planned in advance and joined with color-matched material. We show you how the seams fall during the walkthrough.

Natural stone such as marble, quartzite and granite is sealed at installation. Quartz, porcelain and sintered stone do not need sealing.
