Why You Should Buy Quartz Countertops from a Countertop Fabricator?
Why Working With A Quartz Countertop Fabricator Is Best
A beautiful quartz countertop can be a stunning visual focal point in any kitchen or bathroom. Today, quartz has overtaken granite as the number one preferred countertop material for designers and homeowners looking to make a design statement.
Quartz is n engineered stone that has become the number one preferred alternative to natural stone because of its beauty, brilliance, and brawn. Unlike marble and granite, quartz is a man-made material composed of a combination of minerals and pigments and polymer resins that make it durable, low-maintenance, and bring out its vibrant colors.
The surface of engineered quartz depends on the grounding of the material. If it is coarsely ground, it will have a mottled appearance. If it is finely ground, it will have a smooth surface. Fabricators have also come up with formulas for creating colors that mimic natural stones like granite and marble. They have even begun creating cement look-a-like material, which is an excellent option since natural cement is prone to chipping, etching, and staining.
In this post, we're going to look at the fabrication process, what a quartz countertop fabricator does, and why working with a fabricator is your best option.
What Role Does A Quartz Countertop Fabricator Play in the Process?
Working with a turn-key countertop fabrication company ensures that your project is done right, from beginning to end. They work with you closely throughout the process of choosing your countertops.

A turn-key countertop fabricator will perform several important functions throughout the design, material selection, and installation process, including:
Helping You Choose the Perfect Material
They have a deep understanding of the materials they work with and can help you throughout the selection process. A quartz fabricator will help you choose the right color and thickness of quartz slab for your project. They will also work with you and compile several examples to help you select the type of quartz slab, shading, veining, and color patterns to choose from.

Another factor to consider is the density and structural integrity of the quartz slab. Because quartz is an engineered product, quality may vary between slabs. The quartz countertop fabricator determines the strength and durability of each slab. They are a source of quality control to make sure that every customer gets what they pay for!
They Measure and Template Your Project
As your project moves forward, your fabricator will come to your home to get accurate measurements. A wooden template is created based on these measurements and is used to cut the material. Fabricators will review the installation space taking into account:
Sink base size – to know the size and type of sink
Determine any overhangs and if additional support is needed
Corners and edge profiles are selected to determine if customers prefer corners with a radius or clipped edge.
Work with Slab Layout and Fabricate the Slab
Once all of this is complete, the fabricator will manufacture the slab to the customer's specs and meticulously work to match veins and material at the seams. The number and location of seams are discussed with the customer. The following criteria determine the number of seams used:
The size of the material versus the size of the countertop space
The safety of the material during transportation and installation
The flow of the material's pattern throughout your space
They Will Install your Countertops
Installation typically takes about a day, and a turn-key fabricator is there to install your countertop. Mount your sink, and drill the appropriate faucet holes.
The Key Is Working With A Quality Fabricator
When it comes to your kitchen or bathroom renovation, your countertop plays a significant role in the success of your project and is a significant part of the budget. Choosing the right fabricator is an important decision.
They guide you throughout your project and can save you time and money on your project. Today there are plenty of people out there with a truck, a toolbox, and minimal experience. They create a 3-page website making them look established, but they don't have a showroom or a fabrication shop. While they may come in with the low bid, quality control is probably low. If there is a problem down the road, like a broken seam or an incorrectly installed sink, it might be impossible to contact them.
Visit local countertop fabricators in the area, speak with friends, and do your due diligence. Make sure the countertop fabricator you choose is qualified to do the job. Chances are you'll find several in your area. Speak with several and ask for proposals. Look at their portfolios, and visit their websites. Please make sure you check their service information, ratings, and reviews.
