Fabricating 101
I am often surprised at the number of consumers who are confused between a fabricator and a supplier, so I thought I’d take some time to help educate them. We, (Paramount Granite Company), are a fabricator of natural stone. As a fabricator, we:
- Have a showroom open to the public and have many colors, samples and slabs to choose from, as well as sinks, etc.
- Provide a proposal to the customer for bidding purposes
- Field measure your countertops
- Custom cut your stone to your specifications
- Polish the edges of your countertops, etc. from the edge profile you choose
- Install & deliver your stone countertops
Most suppliers have showrooms and carry a large selection of slabs of granite and other natural stones available for selection and viewing for the public. When you go to a supplier, you are going there to select your stone. That is it.
Any questions regarding the design, layout, edges, measure dates, install dates, etc. should be directed to us, Paramount Granite Company, the fabricator.
Following are several photos to help you get a visual for the fabrication process.
Yukon bridge saw—used to custom cut your stone to your specifications.
CNC Mill—used to run undermount sink preps and curve pieces.
Pro Edge straight line polisher—used to polish straight line edges.
Hand tools—used for finishing edges and touch up work.
