Q: Will I need a seam in my kitchen/countertop?
A: It all depends on the slab chosen and/or layout of the area and access. If the area is easily accessible and the cabinets do not interfere with a large piece of granite/and/or stone chosen, the piece should not need a seam. Keep in mind most stones are only 113" inches long, so that will also be a factor in determining the seams.
Q: How is an under-mount sink mounted?
A: We mount our sinks with 2 part epoxy and stone blocks. We do not drill into the stone in order to avoid any possible cracks or break. As long as you do not stand in the sink and/or leave the sink filled with water over night, you should not have any problems.
