Granite tile countertop
Are you installing a granite tile countertop or considering this option? If so, you have probably come across many sites that are trying to sell you tile, or that are trying to get you to click on an ad for someone trying to sell you tile, but you might not have had much luck locating a thorough guide to installing a granite tile countertop. Well, you finally found the right place. I was in the same boat, trying to locate an article online that would walk me through each step and point out the things that I need to consider and/or look out for.
One of the main things that causes the do it yourselfer trouble is the edge detail. This article has a great option that gives you a very custom look.
As I started to write this article. I located the article from Family Handyman Magazine (October 2002). I was going to post the complete details since the back issue was not available for purchase. However, Family Handyman is owned by Reader’s Digest. The rd.com site has the article online. The funny thing is that it is very difficult to locate if you search through a search engine.
Here is the complete article about installing granite tile countertops. It is the best resource on the topic that I have found, and it is Free!

Jamie,
I am very happy that you could use the article about the granite tile countertop. I found one thing in the past and didn’t come across the article until I told a neighbor about my trouble in locating good information. He knew of the article.
Good luck with your project.
Rob
PS: The jig that they built for the mitred edges of the granite, was not too tough to build and it worked great! The mitred bullnose looks very cool. I had the same tile saw that was used in the article so, the diminsions were right on and alignment was a breeze.
