Due to the wide acceptance of vanity countertops in many homes, there are a lot misconception about kitchen and bathroom countertops. These are confusing when it comes to decision making.
So, let’s debunk the most common myths surrounding kitchen and bathroom countertops.
No bathroom or kitchen for a week
A very popular myth is that new countertops mean that your kitchen and bathrooms will not be available for use for at least a week or more. The truth is different! Templating only takes an hour or so depending on the square footage of your kitchen and bathroom. The template is done over existing countertops (unless you are getting new cabinets) and your new kitchen and bathroom countertops can be installed within a day so you are only without a sink for 1-2 days.
Our installers sat QZ Countertops are highly skilled and have a lot of experience, therefore, they’re very efficient in their jobs. Calling the plumber one day before the installation to disconnect the line and a day after to reconnect them can add to this time frame but essentially, the process from template to install takes about 7 to 10 days.
Better and cheaper
While getting your vanity countertops for a cheaper price could potentially mean saving some money, in the long run, you will probably end up spending more on them. In the case of stone countertops, if something is offered at a cheaper price there’s a chance they are purchasing lower quality slabs and not premium ones as well as less advanced machines to fabricate the slabs.
Cheaper prices could also indicate the type of manufacturer they purchase their slabs from. Bathroom countertops are definitely a long-term investment like cars or houses, and there are several options to choose from. The most common misconception about getting new kitchen and bathroom vanity countertops is that they’re very expensive, especially if you want them to be quality and custom made to your home.
Actually, the price depends on a lot of factors and speaking generally about them would be a mistake. It is important to know that countertop prices vary based on the chosen material, the total square footage needed as well as your vision for your kitchen and bathroom. These approximate prices are based on using premium quality slabs and advanced technology to produce the highest quality countertops for your home. It is better that you buy bathroom countertops during major bathroom remodelling project so that the cost is reduced on bulk orders.
No need for updated sealants for your countertops
Another common misconception is that stone or granite countertops have to be sealed all the time. While it true that every so often sealing is recommended to be updated, there is no need for your countertops to be sealed every 2 to 3 years. When kitchen and bathroom vanity countertops are purchased with sealing, the frequency of updating their sealing depends on the material and the quality of sealant used. To minimize the possibility of stains, make sure a micro-sealer is applied to protect your new countertops.
A bathroom remodelling project stays incomplete without the inclusion of vanity countertops. So, make your choice smartly and establish your comfort zone.
