Since this project was recently featured on Arch Digest in the – Stone Slab Ideas That Go Beyond Countertops post, I thought, let’s go behind the scenes and take a looksy at the installation.
01
The shelf is not one solid piece of quartz; however, the backsplash is and was cut from a slab.
02
A shelf like this is obviously incredibly heavy, so to accommodate the weight, we started with these free-hanging steel brackets.
03
The quartz was miter cut and pieced together for a seamless look. Below is a close-up shot.
04
The quartz countertops were installed by the fabricator a couple of days prior to the backsplash and stone installation.
05
Once it was centered, the shelf was secured to the stone wall with silicone caulk to prevent it from moving.
I hope this behind-the-scenes look at the installation has helped inspire you to design your own!
