You already know how easy it is to install countertops and eliminate the need for expensive, old-fashioned corbels with our CounterBalance product line. Did you know we also made it just as simple to bridge pieces for cook-tops and sinks using our incredible Counter-Lok tool?

If you’re unfamiliar with the Counter-Lok stone fabrication leveling tool, and you install or seam bridge pieces, you are making your job much harder than it needs to be. Save yourself the time and headaches of inefficiency by purchasing this amazing tool and following these seven simple steps.

1. Set up the Counter-Lok tool on both seams. We include nylon thumbscrews that won’t mar or damage the surface of the counter.
2. Apply some silicone sealant, such as our Chem-Set RTV 4500 silicone sealant, to the top of the cabinet where you will install the bridge section.
3. Prepare the bridge for installation using a seaming adhesive, such as our Chem-Set C20 seaming adhesive.
4. Insert the bridge piece and level it with the existing counter, using the supplied nylon thumbscrews to adjust for height and alignment.
5. Remove any excess adhesive and prepare the seam.
6. Give the adhesive time to set according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
7. Remove the Counter-Lok tool and finish the seam.

That’s all there is to installing a bridge piece for your cook-top or sink!
