Can I have an integrated sink in my laminate countertop?
Yes, Karran products offers an innovative way to have an integrated sink in your laminate tops. This gives a custom look at an affordable price.
Do my countertops require special care?
Countertops are quite durable, but there are a few important facts to remember.
Always use a hot pad or trivet for pans and baking dishes. Don’t place hot pans directly on countertops.
Always use a cutting board. Do not cut directly on your countertop.
Do not let liquids or steam accumulate on countertop seam. Wipe up puddles immediately.
How do I prepare for my countertop installation?
If your countertops are being torn out, have your sink removed and countertops clear of all objects.
Remove all drawers of cabinets and remove items in lower cabinets and under sink. Have the stove, cook-top, and refrigerator out of the area.
Have the sink or sink template available if a sink hole is to be cut on the job. If there is a new cook top or stove, it should be on the job site as well.
Replacing your countertops will require removal and reinstallation of your sink. You may need to disconnect gas or electrical lines to your stove or cook top.
Many times, removal of a countertop will require repair or replacement of drywall, tile or wallpaper.
BB Countertops does not provide these services. We suggest consulting the HBA Remodelor's council of Colorado Springs' Member List to find a suitable contractor.
How do I clean my countertop?
Use a damp cloth with dish soap. Never use an abrasive cleaner. For tough stains use a paste mixture of baking soda and water. Also, a countertop polish like “Hopes Polish” will enhance the beauty of your countertop.
