[DIY] Installing tile countertops

 

Any good advice for installing large stone tiles for a countertop?  Not marble, possibly quartz.   Cabinets supposed to be installed first week in May but the quartz countertops can't even be ordered till cabinets are installed, then a minimum of 2-5 weeks to get them.  Meanwhile, appliances & sink are just sitting here.  We have marble tiles on a side countertop now, they don't have any grout, just installed tight and held in place with wooden edge strip. We've done a lot of tile over the years and one advantage of using the tile is our countertops are going to be abut 28-30" deep with a 6" window ledge on the 10' window.  We could have everything ready to install as soon as the cabinets are in.


A formed glass countertop has been recommended by our cabinet man, they're pretty but I think it would cost more than he implied.  Plus I suspect they will take as long as the quartz since they make a template once the counters are in.  We'll know later today or tomorrow.
