Your Questions

26

1.Leveling of a countertop? Countertops do not determine level, cabinets do. Think of the

countertop like a big tile, whatever is underneath the tile

determines the level. Countertops installers DO NOT level

countertops.

2.Joint seams? Any best practices on ways to prevent water from

seeping in? The epoxy used for seams is waterproof, there is no need to

worry about water seeping into the seam

3.Supports on a countertop, when are they needed and when are

they not needed? Please check www.valleycountertops.com in the FAQ section, this

resource will answer many of your countertop questions
