Installation Overview
The Nurse Station ADA Counter - Heavy Duty layout installation requires systematic execution from templating through final placement. Start by verifying field conditions match the 72" width, 24" depth template specifications. For commercial hospitality projects, confirm utility rough-in locations align with the template's sink and cooktop cutout positions if applicable. Program the CNC to cut all pieces from the DXF file, nesting pieces efficiently on the slab to maximize material yield. The nurse-station configuration typically requires careful attention to corner joints and seam alignment. During fabrication, label each piece with its position reference from the template. On-site installation begins with dry-fitting all pieces on the cabinets, checking for proper alignment and overhang dimensions. Apply silicone adhesive in a grid pattern on cabinet tops, then set pieces in order. Use vacuum lifters for safe handling of large sections. Complete seam joints with color-matched epoxy while maintaining slight downward pressure via seam setters. Allow 24 hours cure time before use.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for the Nurse Station ADA Counter - Heavy Duty should account for tool wear compensation, especially on abrasive dolomite stones. Recommended parameters: spindle speed 4500-6500 RPM, feed rate 35-55 IPM for roughing. The nurse-station geometry benefits from a two-pass strategy — rough to within 2mm of final profile, then finish at reduced feed rate (15-25 IPM). Use plunge rates no faster than 10 IPM to prevent tool breakage. Monitor vibration levels during cutting; excessive chatter indicates tool wear or incorrect speed/feed settings. Keep backup tooling on hand for production runs exceeding 50 linear feet of edge profile.
Material Compatibility
This nurse-station profile is compatible with a wide range of countertop materials. Natural granite remains the most popular substrate, offering durability and an attractive polished finish. Engineered quartz performs excellently, with consistent material properties that make CNC cutting predictable and efficient. Marble requires more careful handling — reduce feed rates by 15-20% to prevent veining from causing unpredictable fractures. Quartzite is an excellent choice for this profile, as the material's hardness preserves fine geometric details through years of use. Dolomite and travertine can be profiled with adjusted parameters. Avoid ultra-thin porcelain slabs for complex profiles without proper backing support.
Where to Buy
