Flush-mounted induction, level with your countertop
A flush-mounted induction cooktop sits level with the countertop, with no raised lip. The stone is machined with a precise stepped recess that matches the cooktop frame, so stone and glass read as one plane.
Unlike hidden systems, it works with most countertop materials that can be machined.
Scope of work
What Your Induction Cooktops Project Includes
Stepped cutout
A two-level cutout lets the frame seat in the stone while the body drops through to the cabinet.
Manufacturer-spec fabrication
We program the cutout from your cooktop's published drawing, so the fit is exact.
Material flexibility
Quartz, quartzite, granite, marble, porcelain and sintered stone can all host a flush-mounted unit when thick enough.
Install and wiring coordination
The cooktop is seated flush and connected by your electrician to the dedicated circuit.
Step by step
How Your Induction Cooktops Project Is Planned and Installed
Choose a flush-capable model
Not every cooktop supports flush mounting. Choose a model that offers it.
Send the cutout drawing
We need the manufacturer's drawing for exact dimensions before templating.
Template and fabricate
Position, clearances and the stepped recess are specified digitally and machined with care.
Install and seal
The slab is set, the cooktop is seated and sealed, and your electrician connects power.
Plan ahead
What to Consider Before Choosing Induction Cooktops
Flush mounting adds precise machining, so it is decided before fabrication, not afterward.
The stone must be thick enough for the recess and the surrounding edges.
If you prefer a defined cooking area, a standard drop-in may suit you better.
