The resin or adhesive used to affix your stone benchtop to the substrate requires a minimum of 24 hours to fully harden and set. To ensure the stability and structural integrity of your bench, it is advisable to schedule your plumber’s visit for at least two days after the bench installation to allow this curing process to take place. This guideline also applies to inset cooktops. Additionally, it is recommended that splashbacks be installed no sooner than two days after the stone installation.
Please communicate to any tradespeople arriving after your stone installation that they should refrain from sitting or standing on the benches, and that the stone should be safeguarded while they work nearby. It is important to continue treating your benches with care by refraining from standing or sitting on them at any time.
