Care and maintenance for Laminate countertops.

/0 Comments/in /by

 Laminate countertops are a popular choice for kitchen and bathroom surfaces because they are affordable and easy to maintain. However, like any other type of countertop, laminate countertops require regular care and maintenance to keep them looking like new.

To care for your laminate countertop, follow these steps:

  1. Clean your countertop regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and warm water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface of the countertop.

  2. If your countertop has stains or spills, blot them immediately with a paper towel or cloth. Avoid rubbing the stain, as this can spread it and make it harder to remove.

  3. To remove stubborn stains or disinfect your countertop, use a mild soap or laminate cleaner. Avoid using acidic cleaners, such as vinegar or lemon juice, as these can damage the surface of the countertop.

  4. After cleaning, rinse your countertop thoroughly with warm water and dry it with a soft cloth or paper towel.

  5. To protect your laminate countertop from scratches and stains, use coasters and trivets for hot pots and pans. Avoid placing sharp objects, such as knives or scissors, directly on the surface of the countertop.

  6. If your laminate countertop becomes scratched or scuffed, it can often be repaired by using a laminate repair kit, which can be purchased at most home improvement stores.

In general, laminate countertops are low-maintenance and easy to care for. By following these simple steps, you can keep your countertop looking like new for years to come.

Quartz – Natural Beauty

Quartz is not only beautiful, but extremely durable and strong too! It is the perfect surface for heavy use and is scratch resistant and nonporous.

Quartz is engineered with pure quartz crystals, combined with a bonding agent and pigment. It is this recipe that creates a non-porous material with a consistent appearance from slab to slab.

Unlike its hard and shiny counterparts, granite and marble, what you see is what you get. You can purchase with peace of mind knowing your custom kitchen will look like the sample. No searching for that perfect slab!

Did we mention Quartz is twice as strong as granite!? Hate the idea of maintenance? Quartz might be the perfect solution for you! It does not require sealing, polishing or reconditioning to maintain its lustre. And when you thought it couldn’t get much better let’s add that it is extremely stain and scratch resistant, minimizing short and long-term maintenance.

Granite – Unparalleled Esthetics, Authentic and Truly Unique

/in /by

Granite comes in a wide variety of colours that will be sure to match your kitchen or bathroom perfectly and add a luxurious finishing touch.

Granite is created by nature. With quarries all over the world the colors, veining and textures available are extensive. If you are looking for something truly one of a kind, granite is likely what you will gravitate toward.

Granite is a porous material so you will want to seal it to ensure stains do not penetrate the stone. Depending on how high use the countertop is will determine the frequency in which you should seal it.

Due to the variation between samples and actual slabs, we work directly with two of the largest natural stone suppliers in Edmonton – Hari Stone and Mondial. Our in-home design consultant can meet with you to assist in selecting the right slab for your project.
