    There’s More to Consider Than Color When Choosing Your Countertop

    Posted on

    The first thing people think about when deciding on new kitchen or bathroom countertops is the color. But, there is much more to consider than just the color. While it is important that it matches your décor, here are a few other things you should think about when shopping for your perfect countertops:

    Material
    Once upon a time, homeowners shopping for new countertops for their remodel went straight to granite. While granite is still a great choice, today there are many more material options available. In fact, manmade materials, like Quartz, are now making a run for the top spot when it comes to the most in-demand surface. Granite is no longer a “required element” in the kitchen, so don’t be afraid to branch out. However, with all that being said, granite is still one of the most durable countertop surfaces on the market today, and it comes in many colors and patterns.

    Functionality
    Where is the countertop going? In the kitchen? Bathroom? Mud room or mantel? While there are an abundance of choices for countertops out there, remember that not all materials are created equal. Be sure that the material you select is appropriate for the space it will be used in. Granite is a popular choice for kitchens because of its heat and wear resistant properties. Marble is also another top countertop choice because of its stunning color. Marble is best used in areas of lower traffic because it can be vulnerable to scratching and staining.

    Maintenance
    Every countertop material requires some sort of maintenance, from cleaning up spills right away to regular sealing to protect the surface. When deciding on your countertop, consider how much time and energy you are willing to spend on these tasks to ensure that you choose the right countertop for you.

    Texture
    We know that color is important, after all your countertops can set the entire mood of a room! But, have you considered the texture? Texture is an important element in interior design today. You can create texture in your room by the finish that you choose for your countertop. Glossy finishes were the norm for the past few decades, but certain colors can be unforgiving. Today, many people are opting for matte finishes that better conceal fingerprints and smudges. Plus, matte finishes can create a warmer, more welcoming feel in a space.

    Stone Countertop Installation – C and C Stoneworks vs. Big Box Retailers

    Posted on

    If you are getting ready to start a kitchen or bathroom remodel, odds are a big box retailer will probably be the first place you think to look. You know that they carry a wide variety of products and offer “lower prices.” But, don’t be fooled by their eye-catching tactics, these big box stores are not necessarily the best place to purchase your project materials – especially if your remodel involves a new stone countertop.

    When you work with C and C Stoneworks in Greenville, NC, a local fabrication shop, you have the advantage of getting all of your questions answered directly by the person who is going to shape your new, beautiful bathroom or kitchen. We offer personalized consultations to each of our customers so that they fully understand every detail of their project.

    Unlike big box stores, we focus on the quality of each piece and not mass production. We are always stocked with rare, expertly curated and exotic products you just can’t find at our competitors. Many times at big box stores, you will only be shown a 4 x 4 sample of the stone. This is not representative of the full piece. C and C Stoneworks will show you the full slab!

    When it comes to countertop installation, big box stores don’t always have a qualified installation crew or staff. Our team is made up of experts in design, install and project management. Many times when you purchase stone countertops from a big box retailer, they are installed by a third party. With us, we do it all – from design, in-house custom fabrication and installation.

    At C and C Stoneworks we are committed to providing the most eye-catching countertops. We use solid slabs, unlike many big box stores that will piece the stone together with seams. We hide seams and make the grains flow. This is an area where C and C Stoneworks out performs our competitors.
