Called in the big guns @downtoearthstone.llc for this waterfall kitchen island!! Looking sleek!!
What happens here
The installer uses a caulk gun to apply a bead of construction adhesive or sealant along the vertical joint where the two engineered stone slabs meet. He then applies another bead where the bottom edge of the slab meets the deck, and along the vertical seam where the slab meets the wooden frame. This ensures both structural integrity and a watertight seal.
Goal: Create strong and watertight vertical connections between slabs and the base

- Caulk gun — Applying the construction adhesive/sealant
