Induction cooktops that disappear into stone
Today's induction cooktops can sit level with your countertop or vanish beneath it. Both give you fast, precise cooking and an unbroken stone surface.
The guides below explain what each approach needs from your slab, cabinets and electrical, so you can choose before the kitchen is built.

A Short Guide to Choosing Cooktops
Flush-mounted induction
A cooktop set level with the stone through a precise stepped cutout, so there is no raised lip.
Hidden cooktops
An induction unit mounted under a thin porcelain or sintered stone slab, so the countertop itself becomes the cooking surface.

Plan ahead
What to Consider Before Planning Cooktops
Hidden cooktop placement is a kitchen design decision. It is difficult to add after the cabinets are built.
Hidden systems need a thin, compatible porcelain or sintered stone slab. Quartz, granite, marble and quartzite do not suit them.
A hidden cooktop buys a cleaner look, not better cooking. Flush-mounted induction is a simpler option that works with more materials.

Questions
Cooktops: Your Questions Answered
An induction unit sits under a compatible stone slab and heats cookware directly through the surface. The stone itself does not become the heating element.
Usually not. Hidden systems need a thin, compatible porcelain or sintered stone slab, and other materials either block the field or are too thick.
It is a standard induction cooktop set level with the countertop in a precisely machined recess, so there is no raised edge.
Cabinet space, ventilation and a dedicated electrical circuit, all planned before the slab is set. Your electrician handles the connection.
