Countertops

Your kitchen counter is a work surface that is used daily, and should be truly functional and easy to maintain. Tiled countertops provide the ultimate in durability and practicality, and come at a fraction of the cost of marble, granite, or quartz countertops.

Ideal for the style-savvy, cost-conscious consumer, tiled countertops are resistant to staining, scratching, high heat, and are easy to clean with standard household products. Today’s tiled countertops incorporate beautiful, large-format tiles to practically eliminate grout lines, and with endless tile options, you can complement any kitchen style.

The Schluter®-Countertop System provides a simple way to build your tile countertop, without the need for ceramic tile trim pieces. Specialized profiles and corner pieces produce stunning sink rails, elegant and easy-to-clean countertop backsplash transitions, and practical tiled-under sinks. Under the tile, the Schluter®-KERDI-BOARD substrate is lightweight and dimensionally stable, and provides an ideal support for the tile covering that is simple to install.

With the evolution of both tile and installation systems, tile countertops provide the ideal combination of beauty and practicality.
