These are difficult times, no doubt. And as we spend more time indoors, our surroundings become so important. Color can affect our mood tremendously, especially in our kitchen where we all gather…it’s our sanctuary.

It’s been a while since the white kitchen has been the most popular in interior design.It’s bright, it’s crisp and it’s clean. It has an “understated elegance” according to Kitchen Designer, Gina Perez, who likes using White Carrara quartz for a white on white color scheme. Yet, slowly but surely, the new trend in kitchen design is adding a pop of color. Yes, you can now go ahead and start dreaming about bringing color into your space. The options are endless.

For Gina, the 2020 color of the year is a rich navy. “Navy is calm, grounded color, perfect for cabinets, that pairs well with gray or white countertops for a clean, sophisticated, marine look.” She explains.

“Also, keep your eye on the deep, rich, organic green cabinets,” she says. “Which when coordinated with Borghini Gold quartz countertops is a great way to add a jolt of energy to an otherwise neutral tone.”

The safest way to play with color and liven up your kitchen is with appliances. Red is incredibly versatile and will really make your kitchen pop. Using a bold color for your backsplash is another way to achieve this look.

Kitchen Designer, Stephanie Chirichillo, loves using a dramatic color with lots of movement on a larger island while keeping the perimeter countertops in a neutral color. She especially likes using Fantasy Brown, which is a popular quartzite countertop choice at the Jersey Shore. It incorporates many of the natural tones one would expect to see along the New Jersey Coast.

Don’t exclude gray, which has been taking center stage lately in many homes. “We recently did a bar top in Borghini Silver and used a leathered Steel Gray for the under counter. It was stunning.” Stephanie recalls. “They tied it all together with Luxury Vinyl Flooring in Whitfield Gray.”

The complimentary color combinations are endless and at Progressive Dimensions, we have a countertop material that can pull it all together. So pick a color scheme and start playing around! Go ahead and reach out to a design consultant virtually. It could be a great way to pass the time and look past these uncertain times.

LVP or Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring is a budget-friendly way to add the timeless look of hardwood to your home. It’s easy to install, easy to clean and extremely durable. 

LVP comes in many natural wood options, which makes it easy to compliment your home’s decor. This flooring is also water resistant, making it a great choice for both bathrooms and kitchens. In fact, vinyl is better at sealing against water damage than laminate and hardwood. And LVP flooring will last for decades!

Vinyl flooring is great if you have pets and children. It is scratch and stain resistant and easy to clean. It requires only routine cleaning; sweep, vacuum, and mop your floors as you would normally do. Most of the time, a mixture of water and vinegar works well but you can also clean with a solution formulated for vinyl floors.

Lastly, vinyl plank flooring is made for the do-it-yourselfers. Those who have no experience in installing floors will find that it’s easy and relatively fast to lay down; no special tools needed.

Countertops: It’s All About The Finish

progressivedimensions News

Progressive Dimensions finish

If you’re looking for something different for your kitchen and bath countertops, look no further. New finishes have come to light in the past several years that will truly make your countertops unique.These finishes will make a big difference in the way your countertops look, feel, and perform.

Honed is a matte countertop that has a smooth surface without any gloss or high shine. This finish is particularly popular among homeowners wanting a casual look.

Brushed or leathered finish features a soft sheen that is less intense than a polished granite but includes a textured appearance giving your countertop a contemporary look.

Iced finish gives the granite a beautiful sheen and an elegant yet rugged appearance. It’s created by taking a leathered finish countertop and adding a high polish.

Have more questions about finishes?  Come in and talk to one of our design consultants.  You can also see samples firsthand of the different finishes on our granite colors in Manahawkin and Toms River today.

Kitchen Countertops: Choosing Quartzite Countertops For Your Kitchen

Themify Uncategorized

Perhaps you’ve just moved into a new home and would like to add your own personal touch or perhaps you own an existing home and it needs some remodeling. Whatever the case may be, it may be time to look at those old kitchen countertops and give them a fresh new look. There are several options you can consider when trying to decide which countertop is best for you. Quartzite is a very popular choice for kitchen countertops because it has the look of marble but is more durable and also has a high resistance to heat. It is also highly UV resistant, so there will never be a worry of fading or sun damage.

What is Quartzite?

Quartzite started it’s life as sandstone and forms when it’s joined with quartz under tremendous amounts of heat and pressure.  This process makes the quartzite harder than quartz. Some Quartzites have a more durable surface than granite, yet some quartzites have a softer surface than granite.  The surface durability varies from slab to slab.

There are many quartzite colors to suit your taste. A top seller, Fantasy Brown, is a beach toned quartzite. Another favorite Mother of Pearl has a look that’s similar to marble with veins of green, gold, and gray, and Taj Mahal has a translucent quality to it.

Benefits of Quartzite

Cost

There is a vast range in price when it comes to quartzite, depending on how exotic it is.  The thicker the slab or the more it resembles marble, the higher the price may be. Fortunately, the more common quartzite becomes, the more the price goes down.

Low Maintenance

There is not much fuss when it comes to cleaning quartzite countertops. Just soap and water will suffice as long as any spill is cleaned up immediately. There is no need for any special cleaning products.

Why Are Granite Kitchen Countertops So Popular?

progressivedimensions Uncategorized

Granite has been in existence for thousands of years, but it’s only been a few decades since homeowners started using it as a decorative stone. It’s beauty and properties have revolutionized kitchens everywhere . We are going to highlight a few benefits of granite and why it has gradually become the  popular choice for home renovations.

Digital Fabrication

Our shop is fully digitized.  The templators use laser technology,  our machinists program the C&C saws and routers to cut out the specific tops, sink cut outs, and custom edges.  

15 YEAR SEALER

Granite countertops come with a standard sealer, but we also offer a 15 year sealer that gets applied once after it has been installed and for the next 15 years you will not have to worry about sealing it.  And the best part is, that it comes with a warranty against staining!

Environmentally Friendly

Here at Progressive Dimensions, we recycle our water from cutting and polishing the countertops.  

Durability and Heat Resistance

Granite can withstand years of wear and tear and will last a lifetime.  Natural stone is formed by lava and is naturally resistant to extreme temperatures. You can comfortably place a hot pan on the kitchen counter without causing any damages.

Another good thing about granite is that it’s tough enough to resist scratching. Even if you don’t use a cutting board, you will actually dull your knife and not damage the surface.

Unique Options

If you are searching for something exotic with a unique touch of style for your kitchen, granite should be your number one option.  Progressive Dimensions has hundreds of slabs, with a wide selection of colors and patterns to choose from.
