Time for a new counter top, but you want something different?
Eurocucina is the world’s largest kitchen trade show and gives the public a look at where kitchen designs are headed in the future. Among the granite alternative’s this year at Eurocucina 2014, is glass counter tops. Glass counter tops are heat, stain, and scratch-resistant, and according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) cost about the same per square foot as granite. Glass is extremely durable, versatile, and the most hygienic material for counter tops. Your glass counter top can be translucent or colored, smooth or textured, but to make a statement that sets the mood and makes your kitchen standout, go for an illuminated glass counter top.
Illuminated glass counter tops use LED lights to backlight the counter top. LED lights use 90% less energy than incandescent lights, give you up to 60,000 hours of service, and do not generate heat. An illuminated counter top also reduces the need for over head lighting and saves you energy in the kitchen. LED lights can be controlled with a remote control, and give you an almost endless possibility of color choices (depending on the sophistication of the controller you use). This new innovation in counter tops can change the atmosphere of your kitchen. Halloween party – select orange for your counter top backlighting, Valentine’s Day – go red, Christmas – go green. No other counter top on the market offers the versatility of illuminated counter tops. The LED lights spread consistent light throughout the counter top, and can be used in outdoor kitchens as well. Whether you are having an outdoor pool party or an indoor dinner party, an illuminated counter top can help to set just the right mood for your guests while saving energy.
