Metal Surface Countertops

Metal countertops are available with splashes of color and copper can be treated to produce color shades that rival even the most dramatic granite color variations.

Stainless steel, long used commercial kitchens, may be your first thought for metal countertops. While stainless steel is popular because it is so easily cleaned, almost impossible to stain, and indifferent to water and spills, there are many other metal-fabricated countertops to consider.

Not only do you have a dynamic choice of metals but many choices in finishes as well. Another nice feature of metal is that it’s non-porous, with good hygienic qualities. Most metal countertops are heat-proof and will take a hot pan better than a laminate or solid surface.

There are several different types of metal that are used to fashion kitchen countertops.

Stainless Steel

A stainless steel countertop doesn’t have to have a monochromatic look. Today’s stainless steel countertops can feature different brush finishes that add a whole new twist to the look of stainless, resulting in a visual dimension to what can sometimes be a completely uniform surface. These types of finishes also help mask everyday use, since any scratches tend to get muted by the “micro-scratches” of the patterned finish.

Copper

Copper will develop a reddish-brown patina as it ages. You can maintain a uniform color if you apply a wax or sealer, which fabricators often apply during manufacture.

Pewter

A pewter countertop offers a sophisticated alternative to the slightly more clinical look of stainless steel. Pewter’s silvery color is muted somewhat in that it’s not as bright as chrome; rather, it has a more matte appearance. Pewter’s softness also has an upside because the metal is easily shaped and stamped, allowing artistic designs to be incorporated into the surface. Pewter is a more traditional look, and a pewter countertop provides an arresting focal point in an eclectic kitchen.

Zinc

Zinc countertops are perfect for people who wish to really differentiate their style. Much warmer than stainless steel, zinc has an attractive whitish to silvery-gray appearance when “new,” but develops a darkened blue-gray patina over time. If you prefer to keep the initial look, you can apply a beeswax coating periodically.

The professional design team at Affinity Kitchen & Bath has experience working with stainless steel, pewter, zinc, and the entire range of metal countertop options. We would be happy to share our expertise with you, helping you select the new countertop that is just right for you, your home, and your lifestyle.

I chipped the edge of my kitchen countertop and was heart sick. I contacted Affinity Kitchen and spoke with Tiffany who was so understanding and felt sure she could help. Within the week she had her office call and set up an appointment. The day of my appointment I received a call to confirm the time and gave my the name of the person who would be coming. He arrived on time, was very professional and did a wonderful job. Unless you know where the chip is you would never find it. I would highly recommend Affinity Kitchen to anyone looking to have work done.

All of the women we worked with, were responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. They responded to our request for repair when no other Kitchen And Bath company even called us back! We would highly recommend them.

Tiffany was amazing to work with from start to finish. She was always very responsive and super patient with all of our questions (this was our first kitchen remodel). You can truly tell that Tiffany takes pride in her work, she was very involved and would never ask anything of her team that she wasn't willing to do herself!We absolutely love the way our kitchen turned out!

Gave my mom a reasonable quote for quality work and rushed to get the kitchen counters installed before the son and grandchildren arrived. Easy for me to work with over the phone and really went the extra mile. Lovely experience all around.
