The detail behind the decision.
Show the edge in section.
A thick-looking edge may be built differently from a solid thick slab. Ask for the proposed section and the appearance of the underside. Confirm how any mitres or built-up areas will look at the corner.
Approve the finish on a sample.
Look at the intended finish in the room lighting, including the edge and any carved or recessed area. Discuss the desired touch, visual character and cleaning access.
Coordinate the adjoining materials.
Where stone meets metal, wood, a wall or a fitting, identify the interface and installation sequence. Leave responsibility for engineering and site-specific fixing design with the relevant project professional.
A useful record to request.
- Project and piece reference, with date and drawing revision.
- Named material, finish and approved layout.
- Checks agreed with the responsible team and the evidence supplied.
- Open points, approval status and the person confirming the next stage.
Bring a reference. We will help clarify the brief.
