If you are building or designing single-family homes or multi-family communities, purchasing countertops in bulk from a stone supplier can help you save time and money. At Allied Interior Solutions, we supply natural and engineered stone slabs in a variety of color and pattern options. Here are some ways to boost efficiency when ordering stone countertops in bulk:
Monitor Trends
Before purchasing a bulk countertop order from a stone supplier, explore current home decor trends. This will help you find stone types, colors, and patterns that homeowners and multi-family unit residents will be interested in. Choosing neutral colors and subtle patterns will help the countertops blend with surrounding design elements and decor. More bold stone choices are good for modern design styles and creating a focal point in kitchens or bathrooms.
Stone suppliers may give you insights about which stone types are selling faster than others. This can help you understand which stone countertops are more popular and which materials to avoid to make your project more attractive and functional. Our team can help you determine which trending stones will be the most functional in your space. Discussing countertop trends with our team will help you save time by avoiding returning materials that customers aren’t interested in.
Determine Project Needs
Create detailed plans for your project’s countertops to determine how much material you’ll need. This helps you avoid wasting excess materials or ordering too little stone. Other factors to assess include where the stone will be installed. If you plan to install the same stone in kitchens and bathrooms, determine which slabs need to be thicker than others. Kitchen countertops should be thicker than bathroom countertops because they experience more usage and need to be stronger. Include thickness specifications when creating a bulk countertop order. Bathroom slabs can be 2cm thick, while kitchen slabs should be 3cm thick. Clarifying this information in your order can make the process more efficient.
Create Custom Orders
Stone suppliers that offer custom orders can help you find slabs with unique finishes, edges, and other details. This simplifies the production process and allows you to install the slabs as soon as you receive them. Some countertop suppliers offer design services to make large-scale projects more efficient. These services include helping you select optimal stone countertop materials.
Stone suppliers will provide recommendations for stone types based on the application of your project and your preferences for style and durability. Some natural stones are more resistant to staining and damage than others, which makes them good for high-traffic kitchens. The design team at Allied Interior Solutions can help you find the right materials to elevate kitchen and bathroom layouts that optimize countertop space and functionality.
