				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_373" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 650px"><a href="http://www.concordsheetmetal.com/pictures/countertops/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;"><img class="size-full wp-image-373" title="Copper countertop with radius welded corners" src="http://cdn.concordsheetmetal.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Countertops-1-06-04-1.JPG" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></span></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Copper Countertop with Radius Corners and custom patina</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Customers always want to know the price per square foot for our <a href="http://www.concordsheetmetal.com/pictures/countertops/" target="_blank">countertops</a>.</span> Unfortunately, there is no hard and fast price like you might get with marble, granite, or almost any other countertop. <strong>The main reason is that there are way too many variables to set a standard price</strong>. Welding and polishing corners (and sinks) is what adds the majority of the labor to fabricating <a href="http://www.concordsheetmetal.com/pictures/countertops/" target="_blank">stainless and copper countertops</a>. If your countertop is raw on three sides and turn down on the front, then we don&#8217;t have to weld anything at all; this will be the absolute cheapest countertop you can get. If you have turn downs on all four sides, then we have to weld and polish all four corners. It wouldn&#8217;t be fair, or make sense, to charge the same price for a 24&#8243; x 60&#8243; counter with one turn down as a 24&#8243; x 60&#8243; counter with four turn downs.</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000000;">With that said, we can give some guidelines to help out for budgeting purposes.</span></h3>
<p>48 oz copper countertop 25″ x 110″ with 1 1/2″ turn downs on front and sides, 4″ splash on back – <strong>$1460 ($76.45/sq ft)</strong><br />
16 Ga 304 #4 stainless steel countertop 25″ x 110″ with 1 1/2″ turn   downs on front and sides, 4″ splash on back – <strong>$746 ($39.06/sq ft)</strong></p>
<p>48 oz copper countertop 25″ x 50″ with 1 1/2″ turn downs on front and sides, 4″ splash on back – <strong>$905 ($104.26/sq ft)</strong><br />
16 Ga 304 #4 stainless steel countertop 25″ x 50″ with 1 1/2″ turn downs   on front and sides, 4″ splash on back – <strong>$548 ($63.13/sq ft)</strong></p>
<p>48 oz copper countertop 42″ x 60″ with 1 1/2″ turn downs on all 4 sides – <strong>$1652 ($94.40/sq ft)</strong><br />
16 Ga 304 #4 stainless steel countertop 42″ x 60″ with 1 1/2″ turn downs on all 4 sides – <strong>$1080 ($61.71/sq ft)</strong></p>
<p>Price to add a cut-out for a 20″ x 30″ sink – <strong>$212</strong><br />
Price to weld in a 20″ x 30″ sink (customer’s sink) – <strong>$1035</strong><br />
Price to add a 2″ radius corner (per corner) – <strong>$120</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">As you can see, for smaller countertops the pricing between copper and stainless is much closer &#8211; while the material costs almost 3 times as much, the labor is the same regardless of material.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The general options for countertop edges are 1 1/2&#8243; turn down, 1 1/2&#8243; turn down with a return, raw, 4&#8243; backsplash, 4&#8243; backsplash with 3/4&#8243; return, and 1 1/2&#8243; marine edge.<br />
You can have us put a cut out for a sink, or weld in a sink you provide (must be 1/16&#8243; thick &#8211; 48 oz or 16 Ga stainless).<br />
We can also apply a vibration finish to the countertop &#8211; it&#8217;s a non-directional finish that helps hide scratches that appear from everyday use. This is most popular on stainless steel countertops.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">While you&#8217;re at it, check out the <a href="http://www.concordsheetmetal.com/anti-microbial-properties-of-copper-countertops/" target="_blank">anti-microbial properties of copper countertops</a>, and another <a href="http://www.concordsheetmetal.com/irish-hospital-first-to-harness-copper-technology-to-fight-infections/" target="_blank">article on the health benefits of copper countertops</a>.</span></p>

<p>In the Brussels, January 12, 2010 press release, the Director of Nursing states “&#8230;it is estimated that 80% of infections are spread by touch…”.  <span style="font-size: small;">The Copper Development Association website is replete with articles showing <strong>the efficacy of copper in fighting the spread of</strong> <strong>infections</strong></span><strong>.</strong></p>
<p>If you like to know that your kitchen countertops, and/or bathroom countertops, are truly clean and as germ, bacteria, fungus and mold free as possible, copper, or a copper containing product (brass, bronze) is the only way to go.</p>
<p><strong>NO OTHER COUNTER TOP SURFACE IS AS HEALTH PROMOTING AS COPPER.</strong></p>
<p>Concord Sheet Metal is a fabricator of all things sheet metal.  One of our specialties is <a href="http://www.concordsheetmetal.com/pictures/countertops/" target="_blank">copper and stainless steel counter tops</a>.  We offer several edge styles, we can weld radius corners, and can weld in our customers’ copper sink (smooth, seamless and beautiful!). </p>
<p>As all counter tops vary (width? length? edge choice? radius corners? sink welded in? size and shape of that sink? any cut outs for electrical outlets? attached backsplash?), the details are imperative to give an accurate quote for a counter top. </p>
<p>As of 02-24-10, the price for a copper counter top, measuring 100 inches long and 40 inches wide, with 1 ½” square edges, with a ½ inch return (turned under) and welded corners, would be under $1800.00, which is about $45.00 per square foot, plus tax.  This is what would be used for an island, as all four sides are turned down and all four corners welded.  The customer would supply the plywood substrate.  All of our countertops are made from 48 oz copper (48 oz per square foot). </p>
<p>If you would like to read the press release: “Public Health/Raw Materials – Irish Hospital First to Harness Copper Technology to Fight Infections”,  then please log on to <a href="http://www.copperdev.co.uk/">www.copperdev.co.uk</a>.  In the search box, type Public Health.  At this time, the second article down will be <strong><em>“Irish Hospital First to Harness Copper Technology to Fight Infections”</em>.   You will see several other articles about the health benefits of having copper surfaces in hospitals, schools and homes. </strong></p>
<p>An added plus?  The copper used to make our countertops is 70 to 100% recycled material.  Also, if you ever decide to replace them, the copper is 100% recyclable.  Talk about “Going Green”!</p>
