Measuring and installation — how it works
The same team laser-measures, our factory machines the slab on a CNC and our installers finish the worktop in your home. Delivery and installation in Finland — 10 working days from measurement. One contact person the whole way.
How do measuring and installation work with us?
Everything starts with a measurement on top of the finished cabinets. The measurer comes out once the cabinets are in their final positions and laser-measures the worktop to the millimetre. At the same time we check how straight the walls are, the positions of the sink and hob, the tap hole, the edge profile and where the joints fall. This way the factory machines a slab that fits your kitchen exactly, not a drawing. The same team comes back to install, so nothing gets lost along the way.
After the measurement the slab is cut and machined on a CNC at our factory in Tallinn. Delivery and installation in Finland — 10 working days from measurement. On installation day we lift the worktop into place, bond the joints, fix the sink and finish the silicone. Finally we check the result with you. You can claim the kotitalousvähennys (household deduction) on the installation work; we itemise it on the invoice.
What you get when you order directly from the factory
Laser measurement on the finished cabinets
We laser-measure the worktop on top of the cabinets, so any out-of-square walls and corners are captured in the model. The slab fits into place on installation day without any adjustment.
The same team measures and installs
The measurer and installer are from the same team. Whatever is agreed at the measurement about the sink, joints or edges is known to the installer without any middlemen.
CNC machining at our own factory
Cut-outs, tap holes and edge profiles are machined at the factory. Nothing is sawn or drilled in your home, so there is no dust and no surprises.
Household deduction on the installation
We itemise the installation work on the invoice so that you can claim the kotitalousvähennys (household deduction) in OmaVero. You will find instructions in our article on the household deduction.
Which stone suits this use?
We help you choose the material for the application, style and budget. Everything below is machined at our own factory.
Quartz
At installation the joints are bonded with colour-matched adhesive and polished. The most common material in the kitchens we install.
Ceramic
The thin 12 mm slab requires precise measurement and a level base. Our installers know the material and how to handle it.
Granite
The heavy natural stone is lifted into place with suction cups and sealed right after installation.
Marble
Handled with care and sealed on installation day. We explain the care before we leave.

From measurement to installation
Measurement
We come at the agreed time once the cabinets are in place. We laser-measure, go through the sink, hob, edges and joints, and confirm the order according to the measurements.
Fabrication at our own factory
The slab is cut and machined on a CNC at our factory in Tallinn. The edges are profiled, the cut-outs made and the surface inspected before packing.
Delivery
Delivery and installation in Finland — 10 working days from measurement. We confirm the installation day and time in advance and bring the worktop to you protected.
Installation
We lift the worktop into place, bond the joints, fix the sink and finish the silicone against the wall. We check the result with you and give care instructions.
Questions and answers
What do I need to prepare before the measurement?
The cabinets must be in their final positions and fixed, and the old worktop preferably removed or at least loosened. The sink and tap model must be chosen, as well as the hob type and dimensions. If you wish, we remove the old worktop as a separately priced service on installation day; in that case we measure on top of it.
How long does it take from measurement to installation?
Delivery and installation in Finland — 10 working days from measurement. We agree the installation day already at the measurement and confirm it before delivery. One contact person keeps you up to date the whole way from measurement to installation.
How much do measuring and installation cost?
Measuring and installation are included in our quote. We give a fixed quote after the measurement, once the dimensions, cut-outs and edges are known. Removal of the old worktop, appliance connections, electrical work and plumbing are priced separately. You can claim the kotitalousvähennys (household deduction) on the installation work.
How does installation day go?
The installers arrive at the agreed time, protect the floor and bring the slabs in. The worktop is lifted into place, the joints bonded and polished, the sink fixed and silicone applied between the wall and the worktop. A typical kitchen takes a few hours. Finally we go through the result together.
What if the kitchen has joints?
Long or L-shaped worktops are often made in two pieces because slab length is limited. We agree the joint position at the measurement so that it falls in an inconspicuous spot, for example at the sink or hob. The joint is bonded with colour-matched adhesive and sanded flush.
Book a measurement
Tell us your address and when the cabinets will be in place, and we will arrange a measurement time. The same team handles the rest from measurement to installation.
