Reception Desks and Counters

Can I customise the size, shape, and edge detail of my reception top or counter?

Every Versital surface is manufactured to order to your specifications. This gives you ultimate flexibility over the size shape and edge detail of the finished item. However, to help guide you we do have a range of edge details to make those decisions simpler and help to keep costs down.

Take a look at the technical guides for both the counter tops themselves and the extra under edge details.

Are Versital reception desks and worktops waterproof and stain-resistant?

Yes! Versital counter tops are fully waterproof and stain proof making them ideal for high traffic situations.

What colour and finish options are available in cultured marble?

Versital has a huge range of colour options to choose from. Always check what products are available in a colour finish – they each have a list of available products. Finishes that are suitable for high traffic areas are the best options for reception areas and counters.

What edge details are available for reception and counter tops?

All our tops have a number of different edge detail options. We have a straight drop edge and bullnose available at no extra cost as part of all our counter top products. Take a look at the tech spec to see more.

For more intricate edge details we have a range of under edge details available for an additional charge. Take a look at the under edge detail spec for more details.

Are these counter tops suitable for commercial and hospitality use?

Yes absolutely! Versital cultured marble is an ideal alternative to real marble, due to it’s waterproof and stain proof properties. Versital is often used in areas such as busy receptions and beauty settings that want a marble look but also need to stand up to potential staining from products or watermarks in the case of spa areas.

What is the biggest counter top you can make?

The biggest top we can make in one piece is 3 meters long. We regularly make counter tops longer than this which are then jointed on site. We always supply the joint kit and full instructions.

How do you Install a reception top?

It is essential to dry fit any item including counter tops first to check they are correct. Never fix down tops until all the pieces are available and a full dry fit has been carried out. Tops can then be fitted down on the carcass or subtop using silicone which offers a flexible adhesive property. Take a look at the installation video guide for clearer instructions.

How do you joint a counter top?

With tops that are over 3 meters long we will often supply them with domino joints to make matching up as straight forward as possible. This system allows installers to see how the joint position should marry up properly and add any packers necessary. After dry fitting, the domino can be pushed into place on one side before pushing the two sides together. This system is not available for tops going between two walls.

A jointing kit that includes a jointing compound will be supplied to fix the joint together.

A simple bead of silicone should be used on the tops of the joint for a clean seal. We do not recommend polishing down Versital on the joint position as this will remove the protective gel coat.

Take a look at the full installation video on jointing for step by step instructions, and of course call us on 01204 380780 if you want to know more.
