Kitchens
Quartz & Acrylic Solid Surface are the best materials for kitchen counters because:
- they come in a huge range of colours and pattern selections,
- both are beautiful and very durable,
- they are very easy to care for,
- have extended, transferable warranties of at least 10 years,
- are non-porous & won't stain,
- both come in a range of finishes,
- they both add tremendous value to your kitchen.
In addition, some of the
great features of acrylic solid surface are:
-
a seamless appearance.
- it can be invisibly repaired and refinished to look like new.
- unlike stone, it warms to room temperature
- our most affordable product line, Hi-Macs by LG, comes with an industry-leading 15-year transferable warranty!
In addition to
selecting a colour, you will need to decide on the
type of sink. We carry a full range of 18-gauge stainless steel undermount sinks with excellent pricing as well as seamless, acrylic integral sinks.
Double Integral Sink
While we can reinstall your existing sink, we recommend a new sink as
you will have your new countertop for a long time and it's much easier
to change the sink when we are fabricating your countertop than down
the road.
Lastly, you will need to decide if you would like a
backsplash and if so, how high you'd like it to look and if you would you like it to appear seamless.
The top kitchen photo (upper left) shows a
plant-on back splash which is a common choice. Typically, this is 3-4" in height.
Also available are
tile splash (a small edge that tiles sit on),
cove, a more expensive option as it appears seamless and it requires both more material and more time to fabricate. Some customers select a
full-height splash covering the back wall between the countertop and the cabinets.
You will also need to decide what type of
edge profile you would like. Standard edges include: bevels, rounds and ogee.
Please see the
colours & options page for more details on all of the above options.
