Supports
Natural stone and quartz countertops can be large and very heavy. Large countertops, depending on the installation, must be supported in order to handle the weight of the granite and ensure that the material does not break over time. Once finished and properly supported, the overhang can handle the weight of stone as well as daily use. Here are few of the support options we utilize.
