A template is a full size rendering of your countertop that allows you to verify all dimensions, cutouts, end treatments, overhangs, etc. before a countertop is produced.

Due to the manufacturing process of Laminate and Quartz the cut outs are not included. If solid surface has been purchased with a factory installed sink the cut out will be included.

Templates are available for all materials and are shipped directly to your door. They help you avoid costly mistakes by allowing you to verify all aspects of your design and make any changes needed prior to your countertop being produced.

Any changes to your template can be made at your local Menards^® store. Please note, that some updates may require the store to submit the updates as a custom quote.

This is ideal on ends that do not need an edge profile, like next to a stove or refrigerator, or against a wall.
