Will there be seams in my countertop?

Laminate countertops will likely have a seam.

Postform countertops come in 8, 10, and 12 foot lengths. Anything longer than 12 foot will have a seam.  A top that turns a corner will also have a seam in the corner where it is mitered. 

Self edge counter seams will be dependent on the size of the counter.  Anything longer than 12 foot and/or wider than 5 foot will have a seam.

Solid surface countertops will be seamed together; however, seams in solid surface will likely be undetectable.  Solid surface material is considered to have an invisible seam.

Can I put hot pots on my countertop?

Laminate countertops can withstand some heat, however, if the pot is too hot to touch, it is too hot for the laminate countertop.  Hot surfaces will scorch the laminated surface.

Solid surface can also take some heat.  You should not place anything scalding hot on the surface.  It is recommended to put hot pots and pans on a trivet to disperse the heat. 

The use of trivets is recommended for all countertops surfaces.

Does Walsh Tops install?

We install all of our products.

It is a manufacturers requirement that Walsh Tops installs its solid surface countertops.  If the counters were not installed by a certified manufacturer, the manufacturer of the solid surface would not guarantee the warranty.

We are now offering installation of all of our laminate countertops.

Does Walsh Tops do plumbing and electrical work?

We are not licensed to do plumbing or electrical work.  It is recommended that you set up those services once the installation of the countertop is complete.  We will gladly keep you informed as to when the countertop is going to be complete, so that you can coordinate your schedule with the other contractors.

What is your lead time? 

Lead times vary depending on the product that is purchased and the current industry workload.  Please contact us with a current lead time for your countertop order.

Do I need to be there for the measure/template and the install?

Yes.  It is important to be there for the measurements.  The service representative may need to know specific information for your home.  Types and specifications of sinks and stoves/cook tops, depths of bar tops, and extras that you would like for your custom kitchen need to be addressed at the time of measure. 

It is also important for someone to be there during the installation.  Questions, concerns, warranty information and maintenance issues need to be addressed at this time. 

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash and check.  We have credit accounts for ongoing customers which may be established with our accounting department.
