Table-top - basis of all kitchen and processes which on it happen. However the choice for purchase of ready table-top not always and not all on pocket while most it is not difficult to make this subject of kitchen interior at all.
Material selection
On question of material selection of which it is possible to make kitchen table-top, answers set. The benefit, mankind has invented set of practical and esthetic materials. However is not present in the world of one unique option which will be ideal for this purpose. Each of them has advantages, but there are also shortcomings. For example, the choice of the wooden massif for kitchen – not the best as the tree absorbs moisture, fat, all liquids which can get on table-top in the course of cooking and also is easily scratched and over time changes the color. Thus, the wooden table-top is very impractical. Practically for the same reasons will not approach for role of table-top and DMF from laminated chipboard. The most practical and possible for production by own hands option is the concrete covered from above with ceramic tile. And the tile in this case can be absolutely different depending on what you want to see the future kitchen.
Plan of works
Competently to make and establish table-top on the kitchen, it is necessary to understand accurately what behind what should be done step by step, that is to make the plan. First of all it is necessary to create the project with the drawing. It becomes for representation of future work and also knowledge of all sizes of construction. Now it is necessary to calculate what amount of materials you will need to buy for work. Here also your drawing is required. Consider how many solution will need to be used: for this purpose increase the area of table-top by its thickness. It will also be the volume of the solution necessary for production of table-top. However, you will not be mistaken if just buy on one bag of cement, sand and small crushed stone. You have to calculate, thus, amount of all materials which will be useful to you in work flow. After all of you have counted, it is a high time to go to shop of construction materials and to buy raw materials. You can ask that to you directly in shop have sawn materials to the sizes necessary to you.
The first that you will need to make after all building materials are bought - to make framework for future table-top. It can be made of bar with fastening on floor by means of metal corners and dowels, also attach bar to wall dowels on all perimeter of future table-top. From above bars it is necessary to put veneer sheet. Now make timbering which represents the board fixed on perimeter of future table-top at its faces. Now in timbering, but not on bottom, you fix armored lattice. Further mix solution of concrete and fill in it in timbering. Solution needs to be leveled well before laying of tile on it. In 2-3 days after flooding of solution of concrete it is possible to remove timbering and to put tile. Problems with it should not arise as surface rather equal. After the tile is put, it is possible to finish table-top faces. Now it was necessary only to sheathe framework and the table-top is ready.
