(Vancouver, B.C.)   BuildDirect, the world’s leading online wholesaler of building materials, has launched a patented line of granite countertop kits that eliminate the traditional hassles associated with installing granite countertops in single medium to large-sized kitchens.

Traditionally, buying and installing granite countertops has involved buying the granite slab, then having it sized to meet the dimensions of the cabinets, then relying on professional contractors to cut and install the slab. These steps add a great deal of expense when installing new granite countertops.Pedra granite countertop kits are specifically designed with the do-it-yourselfer in mind. Each kit has been developed for a single, medium to large-sized kitchen installation.  These kits can be installed without the need for onsite fabrication or professional installers.

“BuildDirect strives to lead the way in bringing unique and innovative products to market, and these kits are great examples of that effort,” said Jeff Booth, President and CEO of BuildDirect. “Pedra granite countertop kits are easy to use for anyone aiming to add a stylish look to their kitchen at an affordable price.”

Until now, granite has not been widely available in precut kits with easy shipping and installation in mind. Pedra countertops have been developed with a patented design that includes:

  • backsplashes
  • specific kits for corners and angles,
  • finished edges on all tile, ( ½” thick with 1 ¼” edge)
  • packaging designed to be self-contained by section; end sets, corner sets and intermediate sets of three different varieties.

“The careful detail that has gone into packaging reduces the risk of breakage during delivery and installation,” said Jeff Booth. “We have ensured that this product is reliable as well as easy to use.”

With the new Pedra granite countertop kits and other innovative products such as the Kontiki Deck Tiles, and Lang Aluminum Railing Systems, BuildDirect is setting the standard for the do-it-yourself market and offering a wide range of innovative new products for retailers and distributors to consider.
