Kitchen Renovations are Shifting Priorities

Kitchen Renovations are Shifting Priorities

Kitchen renovations can involve an amalgam of individual projects that work together to give the overall look that a homeowner is trying to achieve. Everything from paint to flooring to cabinetry to countertops to sinks and faucets are involved.

Usually the customer has a feel for what the centerpiece of their kitchen will be, and all other features work together to achieve the desired effect. More and more we see that the priority is shifting to countertops.

When a person enters a room for the first time there is always something that catches your attention. A new countertop has the ability to create the appeal and/or the “wow” factor that home and business owners are looking for. There are many new products, colours and finishes developed each year that bring countertops to the forefront in any room renovation.

Many of our customers want a makeover but are not prepared to replace perfectly good cabinets, just because they are dated. Instead they choose to put new doors or hardware on cabinets, or paint them with one of many artistic new finishes. They choose new countertops as the focus of the room. There are many looks that can be achieved with different combinations of colour and material. The countertop can set the tone for the whole room and leave plenty of options for coordinating other features. Countertop professionals will help you choose a product that fits your style, comfort zone and price range.

Customers are becoming more savvy and educated about style, substance and value of investments they make in their home. They realize that kitchen and bath renovations provide the best percentage return on resale of property. They also know that these are two rooms that can provide them with the most personal satisfaction and enjoyment because they are used all the time. For a relatively minor investment they can give the room a major face-lift.

Increasingly, people are becoming willing to invest larger amounts to have the very best that the industry offers. There are products available that should last a lifetime with a minimum of maintenance. The staff of The Bevelled Edge Countertops has seen a huge increase in the sales of Solid Surface countertops as well as Engineered Stone (Quartz) countertops. They each have their own appeal and attractive qualities. We strongly suggest that you deal with a dedicated countertop business where the staff has the best product knowledge and experience in fabrication and installation.
