3 Advantages of Custom Countertops

Whether it is for a kitchen or a bathroom, custom-designed countertops are one of the fastest ways to add value to your home, both in equity and in aesthetic value.

When you think of the advantages of a custom countertop, the choice is a no-brainer. The three main advantages of custom countertops include selecting durable materials, seamless installation, and template services, and custom fabrication, so you are guaranteed a perfect fit the first time.

Granite Pro, experts in custom countertop installations, has the expertise and experience of over 16 years to provide you with the guidance you need to make the best decision for your home remodeling project. Reach out to one of our expert installers by calling 410.875.7579.

Custom Kitchen Counters

Kitchens are one of the most heavily trafficked areas in the home – it is one of the first areas you and your guests first see, so you want to make sure it looks and feels exactly the way you want it to. Having your custom kitchen counters built here by GranitePro, you can be sure of a job well done the first time every time.

Custom Bathroom Counters

Bathrooms are one of the most important yet overlooked spaces in the home. Installing the perfect custom bathroom counter allows you complete control of the look and functionality you expect out of your bathroom counters. Do you want a low-maintenance finish like quartz, or do you prefer the more luxurious look of granite and marble?

3 Advantages of Custom Countertops

Durability

GranitePro only offers top-of-the-line materials that are tried and tested to ensure a durable product that you can depend on for years to come.

  • Quartz
  • Soapstone
  • Granite
  • Marble

Quartz and Soapstone

Quartz makes a great choice for a custom kitchen countertop because it has a non-porous surface making it easy to clean and super resistant to stains and discoloration. 

Soapstone is similar in its resistance to staining, but it does tend to patina over time. This wear is desired by some but is easily sanded out if you prefer a finer finish.

Granite and Marble

Marble and granite are unmatched in their beauty but do require a little more care, especially if you use your kitchen and bathroom all of the time. If you don’t find yourself cooking in the kitchen or getting ready in the bathroom all that often, then the maintenance requirements of these two surfaces are far less demanding.

Granite countertops are, hands down, one of the best stone counters you can install in your kitchen or bathroom. Due to their slightly porous nature, you will be required to have your countertops regularly sealed, depending on how often you use them. Cleaning should never be done with harsh or abrasive cleaners as they will scratch and dull the finish.

Marble is one of the most timeless, visually complex natural stones available. As a countertop option, marble does require some extra care. Marble counters need to be regularly sealed with a high-quality sealant to slow down the discoloration and patina process. Spills should be cleaned immediately, and regular cleaning should be performed daily with a soft sponge or cloth and non-harsh detergents and water.

Seamless Installation

By custom designing your custom kitchen or bathroom counters, we can fabricate them to exact specifications. This allows for a seamless countertop installation and a more finished look over traditional prefabbed counters.

If circumstances prevent us from moving the counters in whole, then we may have to have a seam or two – but again, having control over where the seam goes allows us to minimize how noticeable it is.

Through our digital template method, we can fabricate beautiful custom countertops for your kitchen or bathroom.

3 Tips for Tailoring Countertops to Your Kitchen 

It’s not an exaggeration to think of the kitchen as one of the most important rooms in your home. If you’re looking to upgrade your home, redoing your countertops is an easy way to add some eye-catching appeal to the kitchen.

If you’re going to do a kitchen remodel, you want to make sure that your kitchen countertops match up with other aspects of your kitchen. Below are some tips to keep in mind when selecting new countertops for your kitchen. 

1. Think About Your Color Palate

When you walk into a showroom, you can quickly become overwhelmed by the various color options. You can narrow down some of the confusion by picking out your palate of colors before you start shopping. Try picking three colors, two that will work for the main components and one to use for accents. 

Sticking to a color palette helps you coordinate the look of your entire kitchen. It also prevents you from picking kitchen countertops that clash with everything else in the room. Make sure your color palette includes the color of your kitchen floor. 

The color scheme for your cabinet should blend in well with the aesthetic of the rest of your home. If you’re planning on selling your home at some point, you don’t want potential buyers to find the vibe of your kitchen jarring in comparison to the rest of your house.

Countertops go a long way toward setting the mood for your kitchen décor. 

2. Coordinate Your Cabinets With the Countertops 

It would help if you kept things simple for your cabinets. That gives you more room to go with a bolder choice when it comes to your countertops. Stone countertops made of granite, marble, or sandstone come in various colors. Think about how variations your stone choice match up to the color of your cabinets. Make sure that the accent colors you choose work to bind your countertops and cabinets together. 

It’s not just about the colors. You want to make sure different textures work together to achieve your desired aesthetic. The order in which you purchase kitchen component options matters. It’s a good idea to choose your countertops first, then make your cabinet selection based on that. If you already have your desired cabinet option in place, make sure that your countertops’ colors and texture work with what’s already in place. 

3. Pay Attention to Lighting

Lighting is a critical aspect of kitchen redesign that many people forget about until it’s too late. Ask for samples of kitchen countertops that you like. Bring them home and look at how it looks under your kitchen lighting during the day and night. 

If your cabinets are already in place, hold the sample countertop material up against them to make sure they complement each other. If you love the countertop sample but don’t like how it appears under your lighting, that may be something you want to upgrade as well. 

Hire GranitePro For Your Countertop Needs
