Matte Finish
Our standard matte finish looks great, and pre-conditions the surface of the stainless steel, allowing your countertop to mask and accept inevitable random scratches as they take place.

With this option, our countertops include a 1-1/2" moisture resistant MDF backer board, constructed from (2) layers for increased strength and sound-insulation. The first layer completely covers the bottom of the countertop. The second layer goes around the perimeter, bringing the countertop substrate to its proper thickness.
