Serving Bloomfield, CT, custom stone fabrication and installation services for outdoor kitchen countertops by Ambiance Stone involve creating and installing unique stone surfaces designed specifically for outdoor cooking areas. Here’s what the process generally entails:
1. Material Selection
- Natural Stones: Popular choices include granite, marble, soapstone, and quartzite, which are durable and weather-resistant.
- Engineered Stones: Sometimes quartz or other engineered materials designed to mimic natural stone are also used, although not all are suitable for outdoor use due to UV sensitivity.
- Custom Selection: The customer can select a stone that matches the aesthetic and functional needs of the outdoor space, often factoring in climate conditions.
2. Custom Fabrication
- Measuring & Templating: We take precise measurements of the space where the countertops will be installed, ensuring an exact fit. Templates are often created to guide the cutting process.
- Cutting & Shaping: The selected stone is cut and shaped to match the specifications, including edges, thickness, and any custom details like cutouts for grills, sinks, or other fixtures.
- Polishing & Finishing: The stone surface is polished and finished to bring out its natural beauty and provide the desired look, whether it’s glossy, honed, or textured.
3. Installation
- Site Preparation: Our installation team prepares the site, ensuring the countertop can be securely placed on top of existing cabinetry or outdoor structures.
- Mounting & Sealing: Once the stone is in place, it is secured using adhesives or other mounting methods. The stone is then sealed to protect it from the elements (water, heat, and UV exposure).
- Final Inspection: A final inspection is conducted to ensure the countertop is properly installed and meets the customer’s expectations.
4. Maintenance & Care
- Most natural stones require periodic sealing to maintain their longevity, especially in outdoor environments where they are exposed to the elements.
- Regular cleaning with non-abrasive products is recommended to prevent staining or etching.
