The Challenge

Managing Complex Layout with Precision

The kitchen in Everett presented a unique challenge with its complex layout and the need for a seamless integration of various components. The countertop design required precise cutouts for a 24" cooktop and a 27.5" undermount sink, demanding meticulous planning and execution. Additionally, the existing cabinetry had slight variations that needed to be accounted for to ensure a perfect fit.

Handling MSI Eclipse Granite, known for its durability and intricate pattern, added another layer of complexity. Transporting and maneuvering two large slabs safely through the compact space of the Everett home was a critical aspect of the project. The client's vision was clear: they desired a sleek, polished look that would enhance their culinary space both functionally and aesthetically.

Furthermore, the project timeline was tight, as the clients were eager to complete their kitchen renovation within a specified period. Coordinating the templating, fabrication, and installation processes to meet these expectations required careful scheduling and efficient teamwork.

Our Approach

Precision and Expertise in Fabrication

Our team at AbsoluteGM leveraged the STONEEX digital laser scan to create an accurate template of the existing kitchen space. This technology allowed us to capture every nuance of the kitchen layout in Everett, ensuring that the countertops would fit perfectly upon installation, despite the cabinetry variations.

With precise measurements in hand, we proceeded to our Kirkland facility for CNC fabrication. The CNC machines enabled us to execute the intricate cutouts for the cooktop and sink with unmatched precision. Our skilled fabricators meticulously polished the eased edges, enhancing the granite's natural beauty and ensuring a smooth, elegant finish.

Seam placement was strategically planned to be nearly invisible, especially around the sink area, providing a continuous, uninterrupted surface that met the client's high standards. The use of high-quality MSI Eclipse Granite required careful handling, and our team ensured that each slab was transported and positioned with the utmost care, minimizing any risk of damage.
