When
producing a granite, quartz or Silestone Wrap, ie the sides of the units are
cloaked in granite or quartz down to the floor there are several ways of
achieving the desired finish. Most kitchens that have wrapped granite end
panels are modern style minimal sleek designs and so we have developed what we
think is the best way of achieving the joint to make it look as invisible as
possible and to try to make it look like you have just folded the granite/quartz.
We used to mitre the two pieces at 45 degrees resin together on site and bevel
to suit, however with the use of either our Bavelloni CNC or our Marmo
Mechannica calibrating wheel we now create a ‘step groove’ in the material this
means that the glued area is twice as much therefore twice as strong but, the
beauty of the end result is that the joint ends up at the bottom of the bevel
and so is pretty much invisible. If the granite or quartz Is mitred the joint
ends up in the middle of the bevel, we think our new way of doing things is by
far the best way as you will see from the pictures. This granite worktop island
wrap is being installed in Stratford upon Avon, note we are surface polishing
the reverse of the granite on our Bavelloni.
Planet
Granite has now had this fully automatic CNC granite
bridge saw installed, Ideal for Granite Worktops, Quartz Worktops Marble
cutting etc. Granite Worktops are cut on this machine then edge polished
through our marmo mechannica polisher and calibrator, undermounted sinks are
then machined on our CNC processing centre, Here at Planet Granite we have
Invested in the very best of equipment to make Granite Worktops for our
Midlands customers.
This
is a small selection of the tooling library we have here at Planet Granite, we
have spent a long time and a great deal of money investing in our Cnc tools, we
have cataloged all of out tools into the various categories enabling us to
machine pretty much whatever our customers request from full bullnose, Demi
bullnose, chamfered, shark nose, ogee, plus a host of surface polishing tooling
and engraving bits. We also have additional gearboxes that fit to our stone
work centres that work with the fourth axis, these are for fluting wheels and
convex saw blades ( pretty clever stuff really). A visit to the workshops here
at Planet Granite is available by appointment to discuss your project with the
in house technicians this is advisable if you have any specific special
requirements.
