Bars appear in kitchens, basements, game rooms and businesses, and each one has its own height and shape.

Height, Curves and Comfort

Bar height counters sit higher than standard counters, and raised bars above a kitchen run need solid knee walls or brackets. Curved bars require careful templating and fabrication so the radius stays smooth.

Edges matter more here than anywhere else, since forearms rest on them for hours. Rounded and bullnose profiles are the comfortable choices.

    Install

    The bar is set on its supports and sealed.

Caring for a Bar Top

Citrus, wine and cocktails are acidic. Wipe spills promptly and keep the sealer in good shape so drinks do not leave marks.

Coasters are kind to any stone surface, especially under sweating glasses on light granite.
