Gina Hearts Cambria

Hi, I’m Gina, and I will be taking over Facebook today and talking about my favorite product and a little bit about myself. I’ve been with Progressive for 10 years and I’ve come a long way from not knowing anything about stone to being  one of the top Design Consultants here. During this time, I’ve raised three beautiful daughters in Toms River, who are all grown up now and I’ve entered the next phase of my life. I love designing kitchens with Cambria Quartz. My clients ask, why Cambria? For me, the response is simple. The color and patterns of the Cambria line are second to none, so it’s easy to get excited about this product. All Cambria, a natural quartz, is non-absorbent, easy to clean, and resistant to scratches, chips and stains. And, like us, Cambria is a family owned business, and I’m proud to support them. I especially like showing Port Rush, which has white base, with grey veining, and bluish tones. It also matches effortlessly with different cabinet colors. If luxury stone is what you are looking for, I invite you to stop by any of our three locations and let us show you how Cambria can fit into your lifestyle. Summer’s the best time to finish your projects, inside and out. 

                                                                             I hope to see you soon. -Gi

Green Day

Progressive Dimensions earth-tree

 

It’s Earth Day and we’re always looking for ways to help ensure a greener planet. Water is a wonderful resource, not only for humans but for stone manufacturing, as well. The equipment and tools used in fabricating requires over a million gallons of water annually to cut and polish quartz and natural stone. To cut these costs, and save the environment from dirty water, we’ve implemented a method to recycle our water.  As the machines use the water, the excess water flows into floor grates and is pumped into a container where it gets cleaned and sent back to the polishing, and cutting machines.

Progressive also carries recycled glass countertops made by Curava. The tops are made up of glass bottles, windows, and windshield glass found in landfills and other post-consumer and industrial waste sites. This material is non-porous, which makes it very sanitary and easy to clean. And there is no need to seal because it is stain resistant. 

Did you know that quartz countertops are eco-friendly?  Most of the material used to make quartz comes directly from the earth. It also features a longer replacement life and is even recyclable.

We’re dedicated to continuing practices and sell products that are environmentally friendly. Stop by and see our shop and samples in our showroom.

Top Dollar!

Progressive Dimensions FOR-SALE

Spring is one of the most popular times for people to put their homes on the market. With the season being just around the corner, now is the perfect time to research ways to get top dollar for your home before you list it.

According to Zillow, “minor updates” to a kitchen can provide a big ROI.  A minor update such as replacing outdated countertops can attract more buyers to a certain property over the other homes for sale in the area. 

When homeowners shop Progressive Dimensions Countertops (with 3 locations throughout South Jersey), they’ll get a great price and a fast turnaround time for their countertop project. Using Progressive Dimensions’ same-day removal and installation service, allows for convenience and full use of their existing kitchen during the template and fabrication process. 

Switching out hardware such as drawer pulls, door handles and faucets is an inexpensive way to compliment a new countertop and make a kitchen standout to a buyer.

In as little as 3 weeks, a home could have an updated countertop that will give any listing agent a reason to ask for top dollar!

KITCHEN OF THE YEAR IS BACK!

Yes, you read that right! Our Kitchen of the Year Awards is BACK for 2022.

This year, things are looking better and we’re happy to continue this fun contest! Be sure to check out the new rules and how to enter your kitchen below:

Chasing Waterfalls

, , , , , ,

Are you looking for a timeless, effortless look for your new natural stone countertop? Consider the growing trend of the waterfall edge. The reason they call it the waterfall edge is because it has the breathtaking look of water flowing over a cliff.

The waterfall edge is a design that makes a 90 degree angle at the end of the countertop. Rather than ending with a finished edge, the countertop spills towards the floor, and down the side of the cabinet, island or seating area. The waterfall edge is also eye-catching because it creates the illusion that the area is larger than it is.

One of the ways you can create this beautiful focal point, is the mitered edge, which creates the seamless edge design from the countertop to the floor by cutting the stone at a 45 degree angle and then precisely joining them together.

So, if you’re looking for that luxurious look of water cascading down a cliff, the waterfall edge is for you. Talk to your design consultant about adding this feature to make your natural stone countertop special.

More Than Just Leftovers

We all know that leftovers can be a good thing. The same could be said about natural stone and man-made quartz remnants. Like a fresh coat of paint, remnants can give design projects the boost that it needs on a modest budget.

Here at Progressive Dimensions, you only pay for the natural stone or quartz you use, which leaves remnants of all different dimensions ready to fulfill your dreams. And starting at $50 a sq ft., they are sold at discount prices to a lucky buyer. 

Looking for an outdoor grill top? The remnant is the way to go.  A master bath vanity and shower pieces in that gray color that you love? Check out our remnants.  All three of our locations: Toms River, Manahawkin, or Egg Harbor Township, have remnants to peruse through, no appointment necessary. You will be pleasantly surprised by the color and style options. And you’ll still get our superior customer service including digital templating and fabricating, and expert installation.

A Change In The Season…

Part of the allure of fall is the changing leaves. By bringing in these warm, earthy colors, with pops of orange, peach and amber, our homes get that cozy feel year round. We can help our clients achieve a refresh, especially those who are looking for something other than the popular gray and white countertops. They become the perfect backdrop for memories infused with the sights of nature.

 

Here are some kitchens we’ve done where they’ve incorporated the vibrant colors of fall:

 

Astoria granite countertops are a great choice for this kitchen by showcasing shades of brown and a subtle burgundy accent.

Sunset Canyon granite with its rich gold, yellow, and burnt orange colors compliments the creamy, off-white cabinets nicely.

Try using these colors throughout your home to achieve a classic, natural look all year long. We have full size slabs so you can experience this design option for your kitchen.



Everything and the Kitchen Sink!

Progressive Dimensions unnamed-2

If you’re renovating your kitchen or bathroom, I see a sink in your future. Sinks add character to your ideal design. Sure, there are many sinks out there. But don’t worry, we have a nice selection on display in our showroom. If you’d rather buy your own sink, that’s ok too. Just have it on hand when they come to do the template.

Let’s start with the Model #908, which is stainless steel, like all of the sinks that I will talk about from here on in. They are also all undermount sinks, which is pretty standard. The #908 is the “ go to” sink because it’s nice and deep, coming in at 9” deep. It’s also easy to keep clean.

The #508 Model is called a “D” Bowl because it looks like the letter D when you look at it sideways. With this sink, you have a bigger soaking area, which means that you could put bigger pots and pans. Just a side note: the faucet needs to be drilled on the right or left side because of its unique shape.

The #408 or Jumbo sink is like the #908 but bigger and 8” deep. That brings us to the #308, which is the same as the Jumbo sink but is divided 70/30. It is also called a vegetable because it allows you to separate your food.

The #208 Model splits the sink in two. It’s called the 50/50 and is 9” deep.

The Farmhouse Sink is trending now. It is fabricated in an 18” gauge stainless steel and has a stainless steel apron.

Vanities are usually made of porcelain. We have an 18 by 12” rectangular undermount sink in white or bisque and an oval vanity, same measurements and color options. The oval is 61/2” deep and the rectangle is 6” deep.

Like I said, there are a lot of sinks out there. It all boils down to visualizing how your kitchen sink will increase productivity while achieving the “look” you desire.

Keep in mind, sinks don’t just stop there. We carry bar sinks and other special order custom sinks, that can take you to the limits when complimenting your project.
