Self Edge Counter Tops

In yesterdays blog post, we talked about the different Post form tops we stock here at "Regal Kitchens", as well as the choice in different post form styles. Today I would like to discuss "Self Edge" counter tops. In post form we are very limited to the different colors available, as well as the different styles(post form is a style in itself). If you look to at the picture on the left you will see that there are so many cuts going every which way. The advantage of self edge counter tops over post form tops, besides for the customization, is that the "laminate comes in a little thicker grade material. The post form laminate is a little thinner, since the back splash and counter are all one piece, so the laminate has to be able to bend to cover it all. Now on the self edge top can have a bull nose edge or any other edge, but since we will be bending the laminate, we would have to use the thinner laminate for the self edge.
The post form comes in 10 foot lengths or 12 foot lengths, already glued to the wood, all the warehouse has to do is just cut it down to the appropriate sizes, and then finish the edges are properly. In self edge, the laminate comes in sheets of 4 foot x 8 foot, and we have to glue it to the wood, and fabricate the entire counter from scratch, which is obviously a little more time consuming.
Below are links to our laminate suppliers to view a full selection of colors available.
