Islands and waterfall edges
An island is often the centerpiece of the kitchen. A waterfall edge carries the countertop down the side of the island to the floor for a clean, modern look. With veined stone, the pattern can flow around the corner.
Many kitchens pair an island in one stone with perimeter countertops in another. It's a good way to add contrast.
Planning tips
- Bring your cabinet plan. Countertops are templated after cabinets are installed, so every piece fits exactly.
- Think about seams early. Long runs and large islands may need a seam; its placement is planned during templating.
- Pick your edge. The edge profile changes the whole look, from simple and square to rounded or decorative.
- Plan the sink and cooktop. Have the models chosen so openings can be cut to match.
Remodel or new build
In a remodel, countertops are usually one of the last big pieces to go in, after the cabinets are set and level. Planning your stone early keeps the rest of the schedule on track.
For builders, consistent measuring and clear communication about cabinet readiness keep countertop installs from holding up the rest of the house. Call (912) 623-2255 to talk through your project.
Common questions
What is the most popular kitchen countertop material?
Granite and quartz are the two most common choices for kitchens today. Granite offers one-of-a-kind natural patterns; quartz offers a consistent look with no sealing.
When should countertops be measured in a remodel?
After the base cabinets are installed and level. Measuring on the final cabinets is what makes the fit precise.
