Appliance Garage on Granite with tiled walls

Website: http://davescustomservices.com

I need to install a corner appliance garage in a kitchen we did a few years ago. The customer since upgraded to all granite counter tops and put in all tile on the wall space between the counter top and uppers. Just wondering the best way to install this so it is secure without drilling into the new granite. Thinking of just making up some small framing that will only be secured to the uppers, and drop it down to fasten the garage to?? Or some adhesive on the granite??

First off I would check if there is going to be a plugin in the appliance garage. Where I'm from that wouldn't pass code.

Dan, I don't care where you are from. I asked about how to securely fasten an appliance garage with granite tops and tiled walls. Nothing in that remotely asked about geographical locations and electrical codes or outlets inside them. If anyone has installed a corner appliance garage on granite with tiled walls then by all means share how you did that please. If it has absolutely nothing to do with this specific topic, like where I am from, outlets, and codes, I dont care. Thanks!

Lighten up Dave...

I install my appliance garages against counter and splash using adhesive calking. No drilling, no nails, no screws.

Dave,
screws into the upper and clear caulk at counter and you should be good to go.

On a seperate note and I say this for your own benefit. You need to take down most of the pictures on your website. You are doing yourself a disservice by putting up pictures of kitchens with no backsplash, unfinished, stuff on countertops, kids in pictures. It would be far better to have no pictures for your sales.

Also, you'll fare better if you can put up items that are built out of something other than regular sawn oak.

Good luck-

Man, I feel like we are really getting off topic here my friendly folks. I thought this was a place to get straight forward info on woodworking projects. It always has been in the past for me. Over the many years of reading, and sometimes posting (sparingly) within this forum I have gained much insight to the vast knowledge of great professionals like yourselves.

Dan, I apologize for the over abrasiveness response from the start. I didn't mean to hurt your over sensitive feelings. Just wanted to stay on topic.

Family Man, thanks for pointing out my website is pure crap. I didn't realize the photos of my work, mostly plain sawed oak, offended everyone in the wood industry, mostly you, and it was hurting my revenue stream to a point that I would need to stand in the soup line soon. Without this valuable industry insight I might be facing total financial ruin. Thank you for your professional advice on my business marketing strategy for our online presence. This will help us no doubt.

Bruce, I think you are right, I should lighten up. Thank you for the actual info on how you install appliance garages. Sounds like this is how I will tackle this project. I really appreciate your input. It was just what I was looking for and nothing else.

Well thanks for the sarcasm Dave.

Point being if your a professional you should Know the codes that effect you, not saying you Need to be a journeyman.
As for a few more tips from your web page.
Islands require a plug in. If you have a sink in the island with more than 12" countertop on a side you need a plug on each end of the island. The pic on your page with a pantry cabinet then about 8" countertop then the stove fails code as well. You must be 18" or 450 mm to combustible material, this being the pantry cabinet.
Just trying to help with some professional advice. Could save you in the long run.

  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).

    The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards. Participants should undertake the use of machinery, materials and methods discussed at WOODWEB's Message Boards after considerate evaluation, and at their own risk.
