Stainless Steel

Impervious to bacteria and heat, stainless steel is the ultimate in countertop surfaces. Stainless steel has become the “in” product for kitchen countertops by decorators and is now very popular as a finish for major and small kitchen appliances. Scratches and marks give the stainless steel the feel of a working kitchen, but does not decrease its aesthetic value. Stainless steel countertops have become popular in traditional and contemporary kitchens.

  • Stainless steel is heat resistant
  • Antimicrobial and non-allegenic
  • Sanitary pit-free surface

Sinks are welded to create a clean, seamless a one piece unit; sink dimesions, shape and drain locations can be at the discretion of the purchaser.

Maintenance: Use a specially formulated stainless steel cleaner. Scratches can be buffed with a fine scotch brite pad, never use steel wool!

Now available, our nano sealer. Once applied, your stainless steel product will be resistant to oils, stains,
fingerprints, dirt slightly more resistant to scratches.

  • Sealed or regularly polished, it will remain its original color. If sealed (lacquer or other), it will like require periodic resealing to maintain its look.

Pewter

You've likely seen pewter counter tops in cafes, bars, and other dining establishments around the world. It's not difficult to bring the same elegance into the decorating scheme of your own kitchen. These striking kitchen countertops are lead free, made from a tin alloy.

The surface is completely safe for food preparation, making them an ideal choice for home kitchen countertops. You can select from among a number of different edge styles, and these stylish counters can easily be wiped clean with mild soap and water. Pewter counter tops will acquire a natural patina over time, meaning that they will develop a unique glow and luster that can enhance the decor of your home for years, or even decades, to come. If you want to keep the original shine intact, simply use mineral soap when the counters need washing rather than other types of cleansing agents.
Our countertops are produced using the finest quality materials, state of the art production equipment and skillfull artistic craftsmen. All of our countertops are custom built. You select the base material, custom finish and edge.  We provide a product built to your exact specification and need.
