The Countertop Store 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.

Why Are Granite Kitchen Countertops So Popular?

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.
