When it comes to restyling a bar, the counter plays an important role in the final outcome. As the hallmark of the bar, it is the first piece of furniture the client notices and it is therefore important to properly enhance it through the right finish, durable and with a refined design. Let us now see what surfaces best suit a counter.

Ideal Work® offers several solutions, particularly suited to this kind of project, which ensure great custom possibilities and a high-quality final result. In particular, Microtopping® and Purometallo are perfect for a bar counter as they represent ideal solutions for renovating the venue with style and elegance.

A metallic powders-based decorative coating suitable for walls and pieces of furniture, this material enhances any surface by turning it into a noble metal the applicator creates through his inspiration and creativity. Purometallo offers six different colours and several tactile effects dependant on the tool the applicator uses to decorate the surface.

A counter covered with Purometallo becomes a unique piece of furniture able to completely revolutionise the bar’s style.

 

Other ideas to renovate a bar counter

There are other ways to renovate the surface of a bar counter, for example through the use of adhesive film. Such film can change the appearance of the counter in an easy and quick way. In spite of its quick application, adhesive film does not, however, ensure a long-lasting performance, making a secondary intervention necessary to adjust the damages caused by time and wear.
Another interesting idea to renovate a bar counter is through the use of laminate flooring, a solution able to replicate the appearance of any other material. Versatile and adaptable, this artificial product has, however, a low heat resistance and is likely to be damaged by contact with hot objects.
