Hi all...

the Kitchen project moves a little further on :-)

...should the Floor Units be secured before the Granite is templated
and fitted (too allow template to be based on fixed parameters)...or
after (to allow the units to be adjusted to the bit that won't budge)
?

Fitter says secure after Granite.....Granite guy says secure before
:-)

Definately secure your cabinets first, then template with 6mm ply. Just

make
sure your cabinets are 100% even and level first and that you put in the
extra supports for the granite if you have cut outs etc.

Better to get the granite supplier to do the templating, then if they
f*ck up it's their issue to resolve.

To email, substitute .nospam with .gl


Good point, except on my first kitchen they wanted about £200 to do the
templates against a supply only cost of about £1000. They then wanted about
another £200 to fit them and we had no joints in any of the tops, just lay
the slabs on a bed of gripfill and that was it!

Still, if its a complicated job or you're not 101% confident its worth
passing the risk.
