Patent ID: 8480827

Claim:
A method of resurfacing a substrate with an engineered quartz, the method comprising: applying a plurality of template strips to a top surface of said substrate to form a template sized to cut a first piece of said engineered quartz for resurfacing said top surface of said substrate; determining an amount for an overhang of said first piece of said engineered quartz material that will extend beyond a top edge of said substrate; noting on said template said amount for said overhang needed to extend past said top edge of said substrate; removing said template from said top surface of said substrate; providing a slab of said engineered quartz comprising 93% ground up quartz, post-industrial or consumer material, and 7% pigments and binders in a thickness ranged from 5-19 mm; overlaying said template on a top surface of said slab of said engineered quartz; cutting said first piece of said engineered quartz based on outside dimension of said template and said overhang; cutting an edge piece of said engineered quartz sized to resurface an edge of said substrate; applying an epoxy adhesive between a lower surface of said overhang and a top edge of said edge piece to bond said edge piece to said overhang to form a resurface assembly; wherein said top edge of said edge piece joined to said lower surface of said overhang to form a 90° degrees seam; applying a fiberglass cloth to an inside edge of said first piece of engineered quartz and said edge piece; cutting an edge profile into a top surface edge of said overhang to form a profiled resurface assembly; wherein said edge profile is selected from a group consisting of bevel, half inch round, and ogee; and adhesively jointing said profiled resurfacing assembly to said top surface and said edge of said substrate.
