Custom countertops are one of the most important pieces in any kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room. Not only do they need to be functional, but they also play a huge role in the overall look and feel of your space. Whether you’re renovating or starting from scratch, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about custom countertops—from choosing the right materials to understanding upgrades, measurements, and installation options.
1. Why Go Custom?
Custom countertops give you full control over design, size, and function. Unlike pre-cut options, custom countertops are made to fit your exact layout. You can choose your preferred color, edge style, sink cutouts, faucet hole layout, and backsplash options—all tailored to your space.
Whether you're trying to match your RTI Cabinets or working with existing cabinetry, going custom ensures a seamless, professional look.
2. Choosing the Right Countertop Material
Each material has its strengths, and the best choice depends on your style, usage, and budget.
-
Laminate: Affordable, low-maintenance, and available in many colors and patterns.
-
Quartz: Durable, non-porous, and available in premium finishes. Great for modern kitchens.
-
Granite: Natural stone with unique patterns. Requires sealing but adds luxury.
-
Solid Surface: Seamless appearance and easy to repair. Ideal for minimalist designs.
Always consider how often you cook, whether you want easy maintenance, and your design goals when choosing a material.
3. Customization Options That Matter
One of the main benefits of custom countertops is the flexibility in design. Here are key options to consider:
Edge Style
-
Single Edge (Standard): Clean, simple finish along the front. Included with all countertops.
-
Double Edge (Upgrade): Adds a 1-inch lip to create a thicker, premium look—perfect for islands or exposed ends.
Faucet Hole Layout
-
Single Hole: Great for modern faucets with built-in handles. Clean and minimal.
-
Triple Hole: Designed for traditional faucets with separate hot/cold handles and a spout.
Soap Bottle Hole
An optional hole for a built-in soap dispenser near your sink. Great for keeping counters clutter-free.
Backsplash Options
-
No Backsplash: Gives a modern, open-wall look.
-
4" Backsplash: Standard height to protect the wall from water and spills.
-
Full Backsplash: Extends up to the cabinets for a bold, seamless look.
