Measurement of the position for the fabrication of a kitchen countertop

SHORT PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT


The kitchen is the central hub of every home, and its planning and fabrication can be a complex task. In the case of the project described below, the challenge was to fit the countertop perfectly into the space, taking into account all the specificities we encountered, such as the sink, windows, dishwasher, and other elements.

To allow the window to open above the sink, it was necessary to lower the countertop while still maintaining a relatively standard height. The height of the dishwasher and the window sill imposed limitations on us. To overcome these obstacles, we had to thin the countertop by 20 mm on the underside in the area below the window.

After detailed 3D measurements and proper technical preparation, we created CNC files, which the CNC machine used to carry out the rest of the work—precisely shaping the countertop according to our specifications. The installers then had a relatively easy task of placing the countertop in its position and applying a 3 mm silicone seal around it. There was no need for wall trims, as everything fit perfectly as planned.

The example described pertains to an HPL laminate countertop, which is one of the more affordable materials for this purpose. The same process can be applied to far more expensive materials, where the risk of error during installation carries a much higher financial cost (materials such as Laminam, Dekton, Quartz, Quarella, and similar materials, which are industrial stone composites or natural stone increasingly used as kitchen countertops and interior features, rather than just flooring and wall cladding). We aim to reduce the risk of errors and eliminate unnecessary costs in every project, which is why our technology package is perfect—it enables exactly that.

The combination of Flexijet and MegaCAD/MegaTISCHLERpro software has once again proven to be a winning combination, allowing us to easily overcome technical challenges and achieve a high degree of precision in fabrication. This project illustrates how, with careful planning, precise measurements, and the use of advanced tools, exceptional results can be achieved even in complex conditions.

The kitchen we fabricated is not only functional but also visually pleasing, with a countertop that seamlessly blends into the entire space. This project demonstrates that with the right approach and tools, challenges such as window height, sink and dishwasher positions can be turned into opportunities for innovative solutions that combine functionality and style.

Ultimately, the success of this project testifies to the power of digitization in the furniture fabrication process—from initial measurements and technical preparation to fabrication and final installation. It confirms that the proper combination of technology, expertise, and precision is key to the successful realization of even the most complex projects.

Note:

The kitchen photographs were taken three years after daily use by a family of four, which supports the fact that quality always brings durability.
