Outfitted with your chosen samples, it is time to narrow your options. In existing applications, it is a good idea to tape your sample chips to your wall at eye level. This will give you a good idea of how your new countertop will fit your design. For new or large remodel projects, compare laminate chips with all paint, flooring and cabinet samples. Be sure to compare your samples to your cabinets, walls and flooring during the day as well as night, as your laminate may have separate visual effects under different light sources.
Whether replacing worn countertops or building a whole new kitchen, remember to take your time. Give yourself at least one week to weigh your options. You will be living with your final choice for many years, so it is important to start your process early to avoid being rushed.
Now that you narrowed your laminate list, it is a good idea to order some larger samples. Sometimes the small samples are hard to visualize in your design or may have an intricate pattern that calls for a larger sample. To obtain these samples contact your VT PRO Team member or call the number on the back of your sample chip. Once you have your samples, make your final comparisons and decisions.
With your laminate and profile finalized, it's time to select your installer. Use your PRO Team member or ask them to suggest to a skilled installer. This is an important decision, your installer will need to take exact measurements, layout the most suitable locations of seams and finally order your countertops. If your project involves new cabinets, measurements need to taken after all cabinets have been installed. This is the only way to guarantee a perfect fit. Once your countertops have been measured and ordered, you are now ready to schedule an installation date.
Your VT Fine Laminate Countertops are ready to be installed. Here is what to expect and how to prepare. Cutouts for sinks and cooktops are made on-site during installation, so have your fixtures or templates on hand. There is no room for guessing in the installation process. Before your installer arrives, clean out your base cabinets to ensure nothing will be broken or covered in sawdust. This makes life easier for the installer as well. Finally, talk to your installer about disposing of your old countertops. This may be included in the install price or other arrangements may need to be made.
With an experienced installer, this process should be quick and painless. Expect installation to take one day. The only thing left to do is sit back and enjoy your new postformed laminate countertop from VT Industries.
