If you’re planning a kitchen upgrade, one of the first questions that comes up is: “Do you install countertops, or do you just supply them?” It’s an important detail that can affect your timeline, budget, and overall project planning.
At DRT Laminating, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality, custom kitchen countertops — but we focus on supply rather than installation. Here’s what that means for you and how to make the process smooth and stress-free.
What We Do: Expert Countertop Manufacturing
Our core strength lies in producing durable, stylish countertops tailored to your exact needs. Whether you’re after postform tops with a bullnose edge or sleek flat-pressed finishes, we ensure precision and quality in every piece.
We work with:
-Homeowners upgrading their kitchens
-Kitchen installers and contractors
-Shopfitters and commercial clients
This approach allows us to focus on what we do best — crafting countertops that are built to last.
What About Installation?
While we don’t handle installation directly, most of our customers work with:
-Independent kitchen installers
-Cabinet makers
-Renovation contractors
If you’re already working with a professional, we can manufacture your countertops to their exact specifications. If not, you’ll need to hire a qualified installer to complete the job.
Why Supply-Only Can Be a Good Thing
You might think having one company do everything is easier — but supply-only actually has some advantages:
-More flexibility to choose your preferred installer
-Better control over your project timeline
-Ability to compare installation quotes and save costs
-Access to specialized installers for complex projects
How to Make the Process Seamless
To ensure everything goes smoothly:
-Confirm measurements with your installer before ordering
-Choose your finish and profile carefully (bullnose, squareline, etc.)
-Coordinate delivery timing with your installer
-Double-check cut-outs for sinks, stoves, and fittings
A little planning goes a long way in avoiding delays or costly adjustments.
The Bottom Line
DRT Laminating is your go-to for high-quality countertop supply, designed to fit your space perfectly. While we don’t install, we make it easy to work alongside your installer by delivering precision-made products ready for fitting.
