Is a Waterfall Countertop worth the
investment?
Each waterfall countertop is worth the investment and outcome if done with the right planning and the right kitchen design! With this said, I am putting together this article to help you see the benefits of doing a new trend in your beautiful home. But keep in mind that every new trend has its ups and downs. That is why it is important to do the research before you aimlessly want to follow some trend in your kitchen. Not all things are for all people and that is a beautiful thing itself. Installing a waterfall countertop in your kitchen can give you the glamour and the vigor you have been looking for in your home, without a doubt. This often does not matter on the size of your island or your kitchen. Did you know that you can add the waterfall countertop on peninsulas as well as islands? It is truly a customizable design as is with every kitchen project that we work on. No two projects are identical, in the same as no two granite pieces are either. So lets get creative and learn what this waterfall countertop trend is all about.
A waterfall countertop is when you run your countertop material all the way down to the floor. This can be on a kitchen island with both sides of the island going down to the floor or simply, one side, that one that is exposed to you when you walk into your kitchen. Not only is this for islands, as I mentioned in the paragraph above. It is also for peninsulas or the end of your countertops alike. There is no limit on your creativity and with the right fabricator your idea may be able to be manifested.
Having this look will give your kitchen a wholesome appeal. It allows for the glamorous countertop selection that you desire to be accentuated through more than just your countertop. Although having the waterfall countertop will not give you more counter space, it will give the appearance of exactly that. It can also serve as a way to open up your kitchen and make it look bigger than it actually is. How can we forget the WOW factor of this design in any kitchen? It can turn the smallest of space in to the most wonderful area. Not only this but how much joy will you have entertaining in such a space. A kitchen in which you can be fully proud of the feeling that it will give to you guests.
This design will be at a higher cost than the standard countertop. Take into consider the additional square feet that you will use to make this happen. Not only that but, if you are doing the glamorous veins then it will be essential to speak to your fabricator on how much material you will need to keep the veins going down the waterfall. In many cases you may need to order extra slabs for the veins to keep going down the waterfall countertop. Otherwise, it can defeat the purpose of having the countertop. As you see in the images with bold patterns you want to take all the factors into consideration. The importance of having a fabricator who is experienced in this work is essential. This brings us to the next paragraph about materials.
There are many options for this. Granite, Quartz, and any other natural stone will have the ability to be created into a beautiful waterfall countertop. This will be all about personal choice and the availability of said material that you desire. From a design perspective it may be a simpler option to choose Quartz. As these slabs are carefully crafted to be a closer match than is that of a natural material. When it comes to granite we can always choose more bold natural patterns. A good fabricator can make this dream of yours become a reality with using sister slabs. “Sister slabs” are those slabs that are mined right next to each other in a bundle. This is the main way that we, as a fabricator, can make sure to give you this look without issues on matching the patterns in your waterfall countertop.
Do I have to have special cabinets to achieve this look?
No. Any and all cabinets can be made to fit this. There may be small adjustments that will need to happen such as removing some trim work around the cabinets. Additionally baseboards from the bottom of the cabinets may also need to be removed. This all depends on your particular situation as well as if you are getting new cabinets or are remodeling your kitchen.
Having a waterfall countertop carries its own beauty in a home. The right position of your island, the right size and a knowledgeable fabricator. Altogether these factors will dictate how the finished look of your waterfall countertop will be. Do not rush the process, as with everything, asking the right questions is important. Additionally being comfortable with the company you work with will be essential for a project to be completed in utmost precision. So, Is a Waterfall Countertop in your kitchen worth the investment?
