Installation of stone countertop

[Mokhalad]

Hi!
I'm in the process of building an outdoor kitchen where I've constructed the frame with lecablock. Then it's planned to have a granite countertop on it. My question is: can I use some type of cement for mounting the granite slab on the blocks? Or how would you have done it?
Thanks

Hello!
I'm in the process of building an outdoor kitchen where I have built the frame with cinder blocks. Then it's planned to have a granite countertop on top. My question is: can I use some type of cement for mounting the granite slab on the blocks? Or how would you have done it?
Thanks

How large is the slab? If it is large (=heavy) maybe it's enough to just lay it loosely on the blocks.

How large is the board? If it is large (=heavy) maybe it is enough to just lay it loosely on the blocks.

The board is 3 pieces (or it is 3 boards). The largest is 2240x720 mm, the middle one is 600x720 mm, and the smallest is 780x170 mm.

Yes, then you would probably need something to keep the pieces in place. I would check with a stone company to hear what is appropriate, but I guess regular cement mortar works well.
