" The kitchen in our lives bases unconventional to say the least and the look throughout is out of a stainless steel kind of diner kitchen so everything that's going in here is. Custom made at a restaurant supply. Place and it's all stainless steel fabrication even down to the drawers with the inserts. We've got a quarter unit that we've got open space for the range and we got a big kind of L shaped unit this part of it has more drawer open shelving sink dishwasher gets pushed in there and then the most unusual part of the lay out. Which is part of the design of the whole lot is that it's Eskew would set a fifteen degree angle. To be the wall and so it's it's a kind of customize thing and Bob watts is here to help the solid piece from granite metal services. And job. Now what's this problematic getting it up here every what's left to do now they made these."

" Pieces just above the right side view of fifth floor legal openings from the front door all the way up here. Well obviously. They could make this a one piece we couldn't get it -- you wouldn't really transported you know we're gonna world of a field -- what we call a field joint welded in place. And then we'll. Position effect where it's gonna go against the wall all right now stainless steel welding can be very very beautiful or can be sloppy he would go and tell us that let's learn how you get a good well here well it. It's first it's equipment we use in this is a tig weld them. And a uses tungsten and inert gas which is normally use GIG that gives you very finite type -- mostly usable if there is all right. And that it. It concentrates the heat is supposed to stick welding. A mig welding -- of automatic way afraid that that is too much material and the heat you just can't control. What we're going to have to do here we'll get this a position will put a plate on the idea and missiles serves two purposes which help us to keep this joint flat. Which we want while we're welding. And do we have to know that the -- and take away some of the heat."

" OK so itself. Clamped together and ready to well when you're taking some safety precautions -- it is -- want to come on -- so I don't burn my arms. But this animal important thing is to make sure that you don't and I want her to stick my dad's okay we're gonna where it was welding helmet. And that's going to be kind of and I just won't look I'll go -- is this that the tungsten energy guest is we'll switch guns. I'll ask you this Bob well here's what -- right now. Don't look at pretty light. You can think about this steel welding as a two step operation a rough part and a finish part in this attack welding -- spot -- that he's doing now is the Iraq. That basically brings the two pieces of metal together and keeps them together. Now the welding that you've been doing here is the finish part of it right posted as well yeah and that's the part that will be ground down that is understand it in the corner you got to add some of -- some distance filler material. I'm going to have to answer wind because we have a little gap -- had to use tax law. To get a good fit -- wanna all right so do we take the clamps -- of our -- now. And what's still the water that than that he's putting on their new and thought -- was on minutes controls heat. In addition to these and we used. And it keeps it from distorting and this is the same diseases stainless steel right practices the same basic material as a tabletop for certain now when you start welding you'll be -- them melting some of that into the gap -- right into that make it patted him."

" All right so the grinder really makes quick work out of it it's not harbor on the paper -- and aluminum oxide and that's all use there. And then. How will he deal with that the rough part of the world in the actual bullnose here in the corner he's going to take he had covered -- Mounted on the -- yeah. -- There's so many steps involved in getting a really beautiful finish on this now what do you use there rouge for all the road. We used to address these let it real these rules are going to do the final finish Phyllis has been rubbed onto this this policy. OK on three. One. Too great. And then back and let's see how it goes into the corner it. --"

" To fit it in a little bit. Why that is a nice job Bob."

Kitchen Countertop Options by Price

Here s another great tip from BobVila.com. Countertops are such a big part of any major kitchen remodel and there are so many new options, deciding on the best choice can seem a little daunting. Starting with the budget can make the decision easier. Countertop materials range widely in price, anywhere from $11 to $200 per square foot installed. Generally speaking, while high-end countertops can boost your kitchen s look, you don t want them too far out of sync with the price point of your cabinets and appliances. Heavier materials like concrete and natural stone can also require added support, so cabinet and countertop quality should be consistent. Once you ve decided what you can spend, you can narrow your countertop options. For smaller budgets, get creative with ceramic tile at $11 to $30 per square foot. Or, check out some of the new high-tech options in laminate, which can be fabricated and installed at $36 to $45 per linear foot. Solid surface countertops offer lots of creative color options from $40 to $60 per square foot installed, and an integral solid surface sink is a great easy-care feature. In the $50 to $100 range, there are many choices. Among them are wood and butcher block with its warm beauty and natural antimicrobial properties; natural stone like slate, soapstone, marble, travertine and granite with all the quirks of nature built in; and engineered quartz countertops with a wide color range and more consistent patterns. Stainless-steel and concrete countertops are generally the most expensive at around $100 on up per square foot. But they can also be fabricated with integral sinks and they re great if you re going for that restaurant or industrial look.

Installation of the Marble Kitchen Countertop

Bob and Chris Vila enter the penthouse apartment to look at the installation of the kitchen countertops. This particular kind of Italian marble-like stone is a schist called Pietra Cardosa, from the area of Cardosa, Italy. It is fairly porous, with great abrasive resistance, but may require a bit more care than the average countertop as it cannot be polished to a shine. Nick Tagios from Tagios Tile and Marble explains the attachment of the countertops to the Cherry Craftline island cabinet. First a bead of silicone caulk is laid down to adhere the stone to the wood. Tagios and crew level the top with shims. To install the bridge that will become the kitchen�s island sink surround, steel bars are added between the slabs by sawing out a line and then sealing the bars inside with the stone-colored epoxy. Supports are attached to the sidepieces of stone and the bridge is laid between. To eliminate the line and space between the two stone slabs a dyed two-part epoxy is added. After the epoxy dries the counter top is sanded to remove any excess epoxy.

Installing Quartz Kitchen Countertops

Dupont has provided a new product for the solid surface kitchen counters called Zodiaq, which is made of natural silica, quartz, and about eight percent polymer. Zodiaq quartz surfaces are made of a naturally refractive material that gives it a subtle sparkle. It is extremely hard making it resistant to scratches, chips, cracks or dulling and not porous making it hard to stain. The man-made stone countertops are easier to care for than 100% natural stone and are installed in the same manner. In our kitchen the installer used a technique called a mason�s mitre that gives the joint between the pieces additional surface area for the polyester epoxy to bond. The epoxies from Dupont are specially formulated to match the countertops color. David Miller from Desavino and Sons is on hand to explain the countertop installation. One of the unique things about a Simplex house is the exacting consistency of measurements. A digital image is sent from Simplex to the countertop fabricator and they either create a template from the image, or cut the countertop directly from the image provided by Simplex.

Installing Corian Countertops and Sink

Bob is with Andrea Johnson from Corain as Scott Lawyer of Solid Surfacetops arrives to install the shop-fabricated Corian countertops in the Punta Gorda kitchen. This counter features an integral sink that is attached to the counter by the fabricator in his shop. The seam between the sink and counter is made with liquid Corian that forms an impermeable and invisible seam between the sink and the counter. These integral sinks have no edge or grunge line, which makes for easy cleaning and a sleek look. The Canyon color chosen by the homeowners is dark, like the Porcelanosa metallic-look tile. Johnson remarks what a good job the homeowners have done matching the counter color to the tile. Bob adds that the cool, dark colors bring a soothing, cooling presence to the interior spaces of this hot-climate home. Bob then watches as the crew from Solid Surfacetops installs the counter pieces and creates an invisible seam. The two sections of Corian are fitted with wood blocks that will hold the clamps as the sections are glued with liquid Corian that matches the countertop and clamped tight to set. Once the glue has set and dried for about 25 minutes, the clamps are removed and the seam is sanded to give a seamless look to this two-piece installation.
