Installation Overview
Large-format accessible installations require coordination between stone fabrication, structural support, and grab bar hardware specifications. Verify floor framing supports the combined loads of oversized deck, tub, water, users, and grab bar forces. Install solid blocking in walls or tub framing at grab bar locations capable of resisting 250+ pound loads per ADA requirements. Set the deck with premium waterproof adhesive, leveling carefully across the full 82-inch span. Install ADA-compliant grab bars through routed provisions, ensuring fasteners engage structural backing. Seal grab bar flanges with flexible waterproof sealant. Load-test all grab bars before occupancy.
CNC Cutting Notes
Oversized decks with grab bar provisions demand precision across multiple operations. Source slabs of 126+ inches for seamless fabrication. Program grab bar routing with exact dimensional control to match specified hardware. Use appropriate diameter endmills for mounting pocket geometry, routing to specified depth without complete penetration. Maintain minimum material thickness below routing for structural integrity under grab bar loads. Program chamfers on routed edges to prevent stress concentrations. Verify routing locations comply with ADA placement requirements before production. Test-fit actual grab bar hardware to confirm dimensional accuracy.
Material Compatibility
Luxury accessible installations require materials that combine aesthetics with structural performance. Select 3cm thickness minimum to ensure adequate material remains after grab bar routing operations. Granite and quartzite provide superior strength for safety applications in luxury contexts. Engineered quartz in jumbo formats offers consistent properties ideal for precise routing operations. Book-matched marble creates stunning visual impact when structural considerations are properly addressed. Avoid brittle materials or those with significant natural fractures near grab bar mounting areas. Material selection must balance luxury aesthetics with safety performance requirements.
