Do cabinets need reinforcement before stone countertops are installed?
Some cabinets require reinforcement because of weak construction, large spans, heavy sinks, overhangs, or thin support areas.
Well-built standard cabinets may support ordinary stone or quartz when properly installed and level.
Older, damaged, frameless, or modified cabinets should be evaluated.
Farmhouse sinks, cooktops, dishwashers, desks, and wide openings often require additional rails or brackets.
Reinforcement should be completed before templating so the final support system is included in the measurement.
