Countertops built for busy campuses and long-term daily use.
Sondos Stone fabricates and installs school countertops, university countertops, cafeteria serving counters, classroom work surfaces, teacher lounge kitchenettes, reception desks, library counters, student commons and campus facility surfaces throughout Greensboro and the North Carolina Triad.
Education countertops must handle constant traffic, repeated cleaning, student use, food service, staff operations and tight construction schedules.
The strongest school and university countertop packages are durable, easy to maintain, properly supported and clearly coordinated with millwork, equipment and campus operations.
Sondos Stone works with school systems, universities, private schools, charter schools, general contractors, architects, designers and facility teams on qualifying education renovation and construction projects.
Final dimensions should be tied to approved cabinetry, sinks, faucets, food-service equipment, classroom fixtures, accessible service heights, appliance schedules and finished wall conditions.
