Melodic Metallics strive to perform one of a kind epoxy flooring and countertops for its customers. Preparation is one of our main focuses to ensure the longevity of any coating applied. Our flooring process typically takes 3 to 4 working days to complete, depending on the previous flooring system and square footage. For custom countertops, it takes 2 working days to complete. Melodic Metallics offer competitive rates, but always ensure quality work for a successful outcome.

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Yes, onyx is more expensive than granite because of its rarity, delicate nature, and specialized care. Its luxurious appearance and ability to be backlit also add to the cost, making it a premium choice for homeowners.

You most likely purchased a quartz countertop because it won't stain or etch like marble. However, etching can still happen depending on the quality of the quartz and whether it is repeatedly cleaned with harsh chemicals or exposed to acidic spills. Remember, while quartz is more resistant than natural stone, just like Superman when faced with Kryptonite, it is not indestructible.

A minimum overhang of 10 to 12 inches is generally recommended to provide enough legroom and space for individuals to comfortably sit at the island. This overhang allows for proper alignment of stools or chairs under the countertop, ensuring occupants can comfortably tuck their legs beneath the island while seated. 

However, for increased comfort and functionality, some homeowners may opt for a larger overhang, ranging from 15 to 18 inches, which provides ample space for leg movement and allows for a more relaxed dining experience.

The most expensive countertop materials are marble and granite. These natural materials are very heavy and require specialized tools and knowledge to install. Their natural veins and flecks elevate the design and make a beautiful statement in the kitchen or bathroom. Because they’re natural, no two countertops will be the same. 

If you want your butcher countertops to last the typical 20 years, you should seal them monthly. Most homeowners use either oil or polyurethane, which helps repel water from the porous material. Keep in mind that if your countertops are in a kitchen, you’ll want to use a food-grade sealant. Tung oil, mineral oil, and beeswax are all popular options.
