We can begin the measuring only after all cabinets, additional panels, and cover panels have been installed, secured to the wall, and levelled, and the existing or temporary worktop has been removed. In the case of a vertical continuation of the worktop side, the floor must also be installed.

- Requirements for the installation area
The installation area must be well lit, accessible, clean and tidy, free from objects and obstacles that interfere with the installation.
On the day of installation and two days after the installation, the room temperature must be at least +15º C to ensure the durability of silicone joints.
Close all temporary water and electricity connections during installation to prevent delays and accidents.
- Preparation of surfaces adjacent to the worktop
The supports and cutouts identified during the measuring must be completed, and the base surfaces must be prepared for the installation of the worktop.
All cabinets, additional sides and cladding panels must be installed, wall-mounted and levelled, and the existing or temporary worktop must be removed. In the case of a vertical continuation of the worktop side, the floor must also be installed.
The lower edges of the walls behind the worktop should be clean.
- Protecting the floor and surrounding area
Due to the weight of the stone worktop, our installers wear safety shoes to comply with occupational safety requirements. We recommend covering the floor with a durable non-slip material. In the absence of floor protection, we are not responsible for damage to the floor.
Protect nearby furniture and appliances, as dust may accumulate during the installation process.

Different materials make it possible to produce worktops of different lengths. As a general rule, we recommend planning a maximum length of 3,000 mm for each section of the worktop. If possible, we can also install longer sections. The size of the worktop section is limited by its maximum length, weight, and the accessibility of the installation area.
Worktop materials vary in their strength and durability. The need for additional support depends on the thickness of the material and, for natural stone worktops, also on the quality of the stone. Therefore, the answer will be different for different manufacturers. Select a suitable stone and reach out to us for further assistance.
We install the sink and cooktop into the worktop, but we do not handle water, sewage, electrical, or ventilation work. We assess the suitability of the tap but do not carry out its installation.
Due to the weight of the stone worktop, our installers wear safety shoes to comply with occupational safety requirements. We recommend covering the floor with a durable non-slip material. In the absence of floor protection, we are not responsible for damage to the floor.
Protect nearby furniture and appliances, as dust may accumulate during the installation process. For fragile natural stones, the reinforcement strips used during transport are removed just before installation. In the case of a vertical continuation of the side of the worktop, we grind the junction part on-site.
If the back wall is finished, we will fill the grout joint with silicone in a matching shade, if desired.
If you finish the back wall after the worktop installation, we can fill the joint with paintable sealant upon request.
If tiles, glass, or decorative boards are installed on the back wall later, we recommend applying grout after the wall covering is installed.
We recommend replacing silicone every 5 to 7 years.
