Follow these steps to attach granite onto your wooden coffee table
- Gather the materials – you will need a few materials depending on the size and weight of your granite and the type of wood you are working with: wood glue, cabinet screws, wood screws and washers, sealant, sandpaper and foam padding or rubber foam.
- Sand and seal the wood. Sand your wood to remove any splinters or rough patches, and then apply a sealant to the wood to protect it from water damage.
- Measure correctly. Measure your granite top to fit the exact dimensions of your wooden table using craft or measuring tape.
- Attach the foam padding or rubber foam. Place the foam padding or rubber foam over the surface of the wood before laying the granite on it. This will ensure the granite doesn’t scratch or damage the wood.
- Secure the granite. Use wood glue along the edges of the granite and then use screws and washers to secure it to the wood. Make sure to check for level every few screws.
- Seal the granite. Once the granite is attached, you will need to apply a sealant to the granite to protect it from spills and water damage.
Conclusion
Attaching granite to a wooden coffee table is not a difficult task, but it does require some preparation and careful measurements. If you have the right tools and materials you should be able to complete the job with confidence.
