When it comes to an office or corporate setting, appearance is just as important as function.
Unlike the hidden kitchen countertops of most restaurants, the countertops in corporate settings
are subject to guest and client judgment. Countertops can be used in your reception area, office
kitchen, washrooms, waiting/lounge areas, or even in conference rooms and meeting spaces.
When carefully selected, a countertop material can serve the space for years without the need for
repairs or replacements, while giving your space visual appeal crucial for guests and potential
clients.
The first thing to consider is what aesthetic you’re trying to achieve in your office space. Perhaps
you want an image of sophistication, authority, or friendliness. You can use your countertops and
other furniture to help create the ideas you want to convey. For instance, commercial office
spaces should have a broad appeal and countertops that will align with the space itself.
The second consideration should be the function of the space. At the end of the day, the
countertop qualities you look for will depend on the space. For instance, you’ll want to focus on
easy cleaning and durability in the kitchen and bathroom, or in an office space that has high-foot
traffic. However, you can get a little more creative when it comes to the reception area, opting
for eye-catching shapes, colours, and designs.
Your budget is another thing to think about. The cost of office countertops depends on the square
footage of the office as well as the countertop material selected. Do your necessary research so
you can set a budget. Remember, it’s more important to focus on the quality of the countertops,
rather than getting stuck on the cost. electing a low-quality and cheap office countertop will be
more expensive in the long run when maintenance or replacement costs are factored in.
When it comes to the countertops themselves, some of the features you should want in an office
countertop material are:
● Durability
● Non-porous
● Variety of colours and patterns
● Ease of maintenance and cleaning
● Good warranty agreement
If you’re looking for commercial countertops, keep in mind how important your investment will
be in the long term. Once installed, these countertops will likely be around for a while. That
makes it a very important decision that requires careful thought as far as the countertop and the
craftsmanship. The right countertops can help you create a positive impression and signify your
brand image.
