Step by Step

 

As with any renovation or building project certain decision need to be made. With stone it really is quite simple, when deciding on natural stone like marble and granite always inspect the individual slabs, when choosing engineered stone simply select the colour.

 

Step 1. Selection

 

Select from a block of slabs when choosing marble or granite, a block is like a loaf of bread and the slabs the slices cut from the loaf. Engineered stone or man made stone is very consistent in colour and you can simply select the colour you like. Natural stone do vary they are as mother nature made them, so look at the slabs which will be used as they may vary from a small sample.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2. Templating

 

Once you cabinets or substrates are ready our fully trained experienced templaters will be onsite to produce a template to ensure accuracy. This will then be brought back to one of our factories and placed on the slabs to ensure maximum usage of the material, prior to cutting.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3. Cutting

 

GMG utalises the latest in stone manufacturing equipment such as bridge saws and water jet cutters to turn the rough slab into your dream kitchen or vanity top. As stone is extremely hard wearing everything is cut with diamond and wet to keep the diamonds cool.
