Materials for a vanity top
PATH, a housing effort managed and supported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, has a Rehab Guide for kitchens and baths. The guide says the most common materials for kitchen and bath counters include laminate, solid surface, cultured stone, stone, tile, and wood or butcher block.
We fit vanity tops in quartz, granite, quartzite, marble, soapstone and solid surface.
Cultured stone
The guide says cultured stone is made from chips of natural stone embedded in a polyester resin, and that it is durable and easy to maintain. It says cultured stone is also called cast polymer.
Water, mold and the backsplash
The EPA says the key to mold control is moisture control. It says to fix plumbing leaks and other water problems as soon as possible, and to dry wet areas within 24 to 48 hours to stop mold from growing.
The Rehab Guide says a backsplash is a shield that protects the walls around sinks, and that the seam where it meets the counter top tends to collect water, bacteria and dirt. When we fit a vanity top, we seal the joint where the top and the backsplash meet the wall.
The faucet and the sink holes
The EPA says WaterSense labeled bathroom sink faucets use no more than 1.5 gallons per minute, and that this can cut a sink's water flow by 30 percent or more from the standard 2.2 gallons per minute. Buying a new faucet as well? Tell us which one before we cut, and we'll make the holes to suit it.
Stone dust
OSHA says stone contains crystalline silica, and that very small silica particles, at least 100 times smaller than ordinary sand, are made when stone is cut, sawed, ground or drilled.
Whoever you hire, ask where your vanity top will be cut and how they keep the dust down.
What sets the price of a vanity top
We price bathroom vanity tops for your house once we've measured, and you get that quote in writing. Our price depends on the material you choose, how long the top is, the edge you pick, and how many holes we cut for the sink and the faucet.
What to get in writing
Ask for these in writing, whoever you hire:
- The material, its color and the thickness of the top.
- The size of the top, and where the sink and faucet holes go.
- Which edge you are getting.
- Whether a backsplash is in the price.
- Whether taking out and hauling away the old top is in the price.
- Who disconnects and reconnects the sink and faucet.
Questions about bathroom vanity tops in Thornton
Do I need a permit for a new vanity top in Thornton?
Not for the top itself. The City of Thornton lists replacing cabinets and counter tops among the inside projects that don't need a building permit. Plumbing, electrical or structural modifications do need one. If your new top means moving the sink, we'll check with the city's building division with you before we start.
Can you put a new top on my old vanity cabinet?
Often, yes, we can, once we've checked the cabinet. The Rehab Guide says that if a cabinet's frame or its side and back panels are warped and damaged, the cabinet may not be level.
How do I keep mold off my vanity top?
The EPA says to run the bathroom fan or open the window when you shower. It also says to scrub mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water, then dry them completely.
Does a new faucet save much water?
The EPA says replacing old, inefficient faucets with WaterSense labeled models can save the average family 700 gallons of water a year, about the water needed for 45 showers.
Can you replace my old vanity top?
Yes, we can take out an old vanity top and fit a new one in its place as part of a countertop replacement job.
Can you put in a backsplash at the same time?
Yes, we can. Once the vanity top is set, we do backsplash installation, facing the strip of wall just above the top with tile or stone that goes with it.
Can you fix a chip in my vanity top?
Send us a photo, or we can come out and look. We'll tell you whether a countertop repair will hold or the top should be replaced.
