Granite Countertops—Spotlight On Cutting
At PGC, every piece of granite that leaves our fabrication shop for installation, is custom cut to fit the customer’s specifcations for cabinets. After all of the color selections have been made by the customer, and the final measure is completed by our measuring technician, the fabrication process can begin.
Fabrication starts with a either a remnant piece, or a full slab of granite (ranging to approximately 9′-10′ x 5′-6′) that is placed on our Yukon saw. Our sawman, or Pipe, as we like to call him, then places the templates on the granite to layout the material. When seams are required, he does the best job possible to create a clean flow from one piece to the next .
After all of the pieces of the project are cut, they move down the line to the next stage in the fabrication process, which we will spotlight later.
