In this blog, jhquartzstone.com experts have categorized different worktops along with their benefits and ideal usage to help customers choose the best fit.

Templating

Whatever be the kind of worktop you choose, your first step is to do templating. While some materials can be cut at your location (although we never recommend on-site cutting due to lack of precision and accuracy when compared to industrial conditions) according to your needs, other types need to be cut at factory point. For the latter, you have to precisely measure your worktop measurements and share it with your buyer.
