Expert: Craig Alan Berberich Date: 5/23/2008 Subject: Plywood base on kitchen countertop
Question Hi, I am about to replace my kitchen countertops with granite 12 x 12 tiles and was wondering do I need to buildup the height of the cabinets before I lay down the 3/4 inch plywood base? Also, how much of an overhang do I need to cut the plywood? Thank you so much Mary
Answer Mary,
You can build up edge of plywood if you want top to appear thicker, however, there is no reason to build up cabinets.
