What stone fabricators work to
The Kitchen Specialists Association's stone manual sets the rules its registered fabricators follow.
- Measure after the cupboards
- The tops are measured only once the cupboards are fixed in their final place, level to within 3mm across 3 metres, with the sink and hob on site.
- Thickness
- Granite, marble and quartz of 20mm or thicker can be laid without a sub-top.
- Overhangs
- Natural stone may overhang 150mm at 20mm thick or 250mm at 30mm; anything more, or over a third of the top's width, needs brackets underneath.
- Joints
- Joints are about 1.5mm wide, at least 150mm from a sink or hob cut-out, never over a dishwasher and never on an island overhang.
- Edges
- Edges are rounded or bevelled by at least 3mm, because sharp corners chip.
- Choose your slab
- Every natural stone varies in colour and pattern, so see and choose the actual slab before it is cut.
- Sealing
- Natural stone is sealed when it is installed and resealed every 6 to 12 months; quartz is not sealed unless its maker agrees in writing.

Factors That Determine the Cost of Granite Countertops
Several elements come into play when determining the cost of granite countertops:
- Granite Quality and Type: The cost of granite countertops largely depends on the type and quality of granite you choose. Higher-quality granite and more exotic types can cost significantly more than more common or lower-quality granite. The quality of the granite not only affects the price but also its durability, appearance, and maintenance requirements. For example, high-end, exotic granite types like Blue Bahia are much more expensive than more common types like Ubatuba.
- Size of the Countertops: The size of your countertops will directly influence the cost. Larger countertops require more material and more labour to install. Complex shapes and designs can also add to the cost.
- The thickness of the Slabs: Granite countertops usually come in three thicknesses: 2cm (¾ inch), 3cm (1 ¼ inches), and 4cm (1 ½ inches). The thicker the slab, the higher the cost, but it also provides a richer look and requires fewer supports underneath.
- Edge Style: The style of the edge you choose can impact the overall cost. Simple edge styles like straight or bevelled edges are often included in the base cost, while more complex edge styles like ogee or waterfall edges require more intricate fabrication, leading to higher costs.
- Installation Cost: Installation costs can vary based on the complexity of the project, the location of your home, and the contractor's experience level. It typically includes the cost of labour and materials needed for the installation, like adhesive, sealant, and edging.
- Additional Features: Additional features like backsplashes, cut-outs for sinks, and fancy edges will also add to the overall cost of your granite countertops.
- Geographical Location: The cost of granite and installation can vary by region due to differences in local labour costs and the availability of granite.
- Supplier: The cost can also vary based on where you purchase the granite. Buying directly from a quarry can be cheaper, but it requires more time and effort. Alternatively, buying from a full-service company can be more expensive, but it offers more convenience.
