Abstract:
A method for forming a countertop comprising:(a) placing a laminate sheet the upper surface of a horizontal work surface having an elongate exposed vertical edge; (b) placing a laminate strip of the face side of a substrate material having a length substantially equal to the length of said exposed vertical edge; (c) forming an arcuate surface on a solid surface component having a length substantially equal to the length of said substrate; (d) cutting a mitered edge along one edge of the back side of said substrate, said mitered edge extending along the entire length of said substrate; (e) adhesively joining said arcuate solid surface component to said mitered edge of said substrate to form a joined edge piece; (f) finishing said joined edge piece to form a relatively planar back; (g) attaching said finished edge piece to said horizontal work surface forming an arcuate corner element between said horizontal work surface and said laminate strip on the face side of said substrate material.
