COUNTER TOPS
One of the best ways to set your kitchen apart and accent your cabinets is to have a top-notch countertop installed. Countertops and backsplashes help make your kitchen really stand out. Now you have some options when it comes to countertop materials. We are going to cover the most conventional types here.
Granite Countertops: Granite is a natural stone, quarried from large igneous stone deposits found around the world. It begins as molten magma that flows into other rock structures and cools slowly. The stone is naturally quite rough and textured, but when it is ground and polished during the countertop manufacturing process, it takes on a smooth surface with rich luster.
Quartz Countertops: Quartz takes any kitchen countertops or bathroom countertops to the next level of attractive elegance. One of the toughest countertop materials available, quartz will deliver decades of durable service while maintaining its beauty.One of the most appealing features of quartz kitchen and bathroom countertops is that they are available in many colors from bright to black with a spectrum in between of creams, browns and grays. This is because they can be enhanced with colorant to produce nearly any hue you can imagine while offering the look and feel of natural stone.
Laminate Countertops (Post Form): Laminate countertops remain a very popular option for many kitchens and bathrooms because they are affordable and come in the widest possible range of colors and patterns. These kitchen and bathroom countertops offer excellent versatility and value.
Theses are just some of the countertop options that are available to you. With so many different choices its easy find something you like that will fit into your budget.
Cabinet Mart carries Formica brand and Wilsonart Brand laminate material for all your postform top needs. We install postform countertops but not the natural stone types. For Granite or Quartz we pass the design measurements to a subcontracted stone working company of your choice to cut and install the countertops. We have many samples of stone types to choose from in our showroom.

Layout and Design
First we measure the room – walls, doors, windows, outlets, plumbing locations and anything else important. We find out about what appliances you have and where you want them. Then we do the layout design using ProKitchen. This design program provides us with a blueprint of your floor plan as well as a 3D rendering to see your final look from the cabinet toe-kicks on the floor, to the crown moulding on top and everything in between. A virtual tour of your kitchen, bathroom, whatever the project is, as a final check to see if it all meets with your approval before ordering materials.
