Method for making countertop

Abstract

A method of assembling a solid surface countertop and a joint used in such assembly. Rather than building up a corner area of a countertop and cutting a radiused corner, pieces are preformed in the shop having interlocking pieces to provide additional strength and ease of assembly. The pieces interlock using a similar shaped joint for the edge pieces and the corner block.

1 . An interlocking joint for a countertop assembly, comprising: 
 a first piece having a first interlocking surface;    a second piece having a corresponding second interlocking surface wherein said first piece and second piece are bonded together along said interlocking surfaces to form said interlocking joint.    
   
   
       2 . The interlocking joint according to  claim 1 , wherein said first piece and said second piece are parts of a solid surface countertop.  
   
   
       3 . The interlocking joint according to  claim 1 , wherein said first surface has a shape of a rounded corner with an elongated side.  
   
   
       4 . The interlocking joint according to  claim 1 , wherein said joint is used in assembling a countertop.
