Granitcrete Installation Gallery: Collins Road House

New countertops make the difference!

This picture shows the kitchen counter makeover in a home in Ashaway, Rhode Island. Granicrete© was installed directly over old laminate countertops. The entire process takes 3-5 days for installation. The countertop is immediately useable, but we recommend not putting heavy objects on it for at least one week.

A new Granicrete backsplash!

The homeowner wanted a backsplash installed as well. The homeowner custom designed exactly what she wanted, from size and texture to coloring. Formerly, there was no real backsplash, just a four-inch high piece of thin laminate glued to the wall. The installer was able to create this stunning backsplash without even pulling the laminate off the wall!

This homeowner chose the polished stone look for her countertop. It is also available in a matte finish.

New bathroom vanity.

In the same home, the owner wanted to update the “guest” bathroom, which had a tiny vanity. Again, the homeowner custom designed the look of this vanity top. She wanted a vessel sink that was mounted off-center in order to allow room for shaving supplies, makeup, etc. Looks a lot better than the old vanity!

The old vanity.

At first, the homeowner said they intended to remove all the old wallpaper and paint the bathroom, but a couple of weeks later decided to have the entire wall done in Granicrete©, designed to look like travertine. They are still working on accessories, and have indicated that they may decide to do the entire bathroom, including a new shower stall. We’ll update the photos if they do go that direction.

The homeowners did decide to completely re-do the entire bathroom, and this is the result!

The new bathroom has a spa-like look and feel.  The Granicrete floor was installed directly over the old linoleum!

About six months later, the homeowners wanted to remodel their master bathroom.  It was a large bathroom but only had a small, single vanity.  The one-piece acrylic tub/shower combination was in such poor condition, the owners hid it with a shoji screen, making the bathroom look small and confining.

Master Bath Before Renovation

They removed the one-piece tub/shower and single vanity, and installed a soaker tub.  Adding a Granicrete tub surround in a neutral color allows for future changes in color scheme.

A 60-inch cherry finish double vanity provides greater appeal to the master bath and accentuates the deep red accent wall.  The Granicrete vanity top coordinates with the antique gold walls, but the colors are muted enough that color changes can easily be made.

The Granicrete flooring was installed directly over the old 12 x 12 tiles.
