Granite is a natural stone with high resistance to abrasion and mechanical factors. The rich palette of shades in which it is available, along with beautiful, unique patterns, makes granite a highly valued material for kitchen countertops. A granite countertop is an investment for many years in any kitchen, adding elegance and an exclusive appearance to the interior.

Granites

Generally, we do not recommend marble countertops in the kitchen. Marble, being a limestone, is much softer compared to granite or quartz composite, which makes it prone to scratches and permanent staining after a short period of use in the kitchen.

Commonly used organic acids in the kitchen, such as lemon juice, vinegar, or even carbonated drinks, can cause permanent damage to the surface of a marble countertop. We strongly recommend replacing marble with granite or quartz countertops in the kitchen. However, marble countertops can be used in other areas of the home.

At Hoder, all stones for countertops, such as quartz composite, are calibrated, making them smooth to the touch and ensuring that their slabs have uniform thickness. This process provides our clients with a consistent edge with the highest quality polish, free from light refraction and waviness. This effect will be maintained for years, despite the effects of time and chemicals. Your furnishings will not require restoration and will continue to look brand new.

Professionalism is characterized by attention to every detail. In the case of countertops, such a detail becomes the edge finish, as well as the detail of the engraved draining ramp in the countertop.

Edge processing is usually done manually. As a result, the stone is often wavy, light refracts at its edges, and the bevels are unevenly executed. At Hoder, we use numerically controlled machines operated by our specialists for edge processing, allowing us to achieve a perfectly smooth surface.

We have a wide range of different types of edge profiles and underlays that can be tailored from retro styles to modern minimalism. They can take on various forms: simple, oval, geometric, or elegantly sculpted.

• Elegant shapes
• No wavy edges
• Delicate contours
• Rustic carvings

• Practically Non-wearable Material: Even if you are passionate about cooking, you don't have to worry about surface wear; it always looks the same.
• Low Absorbency: Kitchen countertops are constantly exposed to water and steam, which can damage classic countertops. Stone countertops are resistant, allowing you to open the dishwasher immediately after washing.
• Variety of Colors and Surface Textures: This adds uniqueness to your kitchen.
• High Resistance to Impacts: This allows for any kitchen work to be carried out without fear of damage.
• Smooth Surface: Makes it easy to keep clean and highly resistant to stains.
• Renewability: Damages can be restored without having to remove the entire countertop (applicable to granite).
• Shapeability: Allows for unlimited arrangements and creates a unique aesthetic value.
• Temperature Resistant: Hot pots can be placed directly on it, making kitchen work easier and speeding up processes.
• Processed with Hoder Method: Cut and fitted using digital technologies, ensuring perfect adherence to walls and cabinets without defects. This guarantees the aesthetic appeal and longevity of the solution.
   
  
  

An impressive arrangement can be achieved by installing LED lighting along the edges of the countertop. By changing the color of the lighting, we create a new atmosphere in the space, which influences the mood within the interior.

GRANITE SINK

Granite sinks—at Hoder, we cut them into any shape and color to match the quartz or stone countertop. We address individual design challenges to ensure that the faucet is properly located, windows can open without interfering with the sink, and a cutting board can cover the sink hole if necessary.

Sharp shapes

Undermount sink
Undermount bowls are installed beneath the countertop, making them perfectly fitted to the kitchen layout.

Undermount sinks guarantee greater comfort while working:

Water, crumbs, and other debris can be easily swept off the countertop into the sink with a single hand movement.
The countertop and sink are seamlessly connected, providing additional workspace.
Undermount bowls are available in various sizes and shapes, with elegant surface finishes and attractive colors.
Optimal use of available workspace.
Perfectly fitted optional accessories increase the functionality of the undermount bowls—e.g., sturdy wooden cutting boards or practical drying racks and baskets.
Innovative technology and excellent precision in collaboration with Schock enable complete integration of the sink and countertop made of composite material.
This gives you:

A perfect appearance where the countertop and sink create a uniform, glossy surface.
A convenient and ergonomic solution that ensures freedom during everyday use of the countertops and guarantees easy maintenance.
