How Are Granite Countertops Attached. Position the countertop pieces on the cabinets. Some installers will line a bead of silicone all over the top of your cabinets before setting the stone.
The system includes 6-8 bolts clips and wing nuts. First dry-fit the countertop to ensure an accurate fit. Glue the piece of wood directly under the countertop stone.
Apply a bead of silicone caulk or construction adhesive along the top edge of all the cabinet parts that support the countertop.
You can attach a dishwasher to a granite countertop by applying adhesive to two pieces of 34-by-4-by-4-inch plywood. Use a caulk gun to add little silicone to the back sides of the mounting clips while leaving a small space for the hot. Tip up a straight countertop to apply the adhesive. The bolts are inserted into grooves that the fabricator drills or cuts into the back of the counter spaced evenly around the flange of the sink.
