Welcome To Great Plains Countertops

The fabrication process is where the skill of an experienced CNC operator is essential. Solid surface materials have unique working characteristics, and expert handling ensures a flawless, durable finish. This stage combines artistry and precision technology to create countertops with exceptional fit and beauty.

1. Digital Templating & Slab Layout

The process begins with digital templating of cabinets to design the perfect countertop fit. Each slab is carefully inspected and photographed, and specialized software overlays the countertop templates to achieve the best alignment of vein patterns, texture, and color. This attention to detail ensures a seamless, visually stunning result.

2. Precision Cutting & CNC Fabrication

After the layout is finalized, slabs are cut using a saw jet—a high-tech combination of water jet and saw for smooth, accurate cuts. The material is then sent to a CNC machine for detailed fabrication. At this stage, custom cutouts for cooktops, sinks, faucets, or other design features are made. The CNC saw uses diamond polish pads to expertly shape and polish the stone edges, achieving a refined, professional finish.

3. Seam Grinding & Final Finishing

To ensure a flawless installation, seam edges are manually ground and polished for the tightest, most invisible joints possible. The result is a seamless countertop surface with superior strength and beauty.

4. Craftsmanship in Laminate Work

While the laminate shop doesn’t feature the same level of automation as the solid surface shop, it delivers exceptional results through the craftsmanship and skill of dedicated employee-owners. Each project is built with precision and pride to create a high-quality finished product.
