I recently had a large granite worktop installed in a kitchen. Looking at it now, I'm concerned that tiny movements over time will lead to cracking and am looking for any advice.
The worktop layout is U shaped. The "vertical" legs of the U are up to 2500mm long. The "bottom" of othe U is maybe 1000mm but it has a cut-out for a sink so there's actually not much granite there. In total there are three pieces which have been guled together (I guess it's some kind of epoxy).
The units underneath, although solid, will move very slightly with temperature and humidity and if people push hard enough on them and so on. I fear the piece with the sink cut-out will end up taking all the stress and, since with the cut-out it's reduced to a fairly thin piece, won't it soon crack?
Is there any way to protect my investment?
