Cabinet requirements for granite.
First dry fit the countertop to ensure an accurate fit.
I am having to replace a kitchen cabinet because of a serious water leak that water logged the particle boards.
My old countertop has been tile and it has to go as well as the cabinet.
With this scenario plywood is cut to fit the countertop layout and screwed to the cabinets prior to the stone tops being installed.
Now this assumes a full depth granite 3 cm or 1 1 4 thick is used.
Bbb encourages you to check with the appropriate agency to be certain any requirements are currently.
I have read on the internet that granite countertops should not be used on cabinets that are mostly particle board.
If a thinner granite is being used 2 cm or 3 4 a plywood subtop will need to be installed.
The cabinets that your 3cm granite slabs will rest on serve as plenty of support and unnecessarily complicating a countertop installation will waste your time and money.
Once you have the granite slabs home it s time to install them.
When lifting the countertop take extra care to support the granite where it is thin such as along cutouts.

I am told that granite would be the best replacement in terms of eventual resale value.
