Laminate has been a top choice for countertops for decades, and there’s no need to wonder why. While being durable, easy to install, and easy to clean, laminate countertops can beautify any kitchen.
Best of all, the options are endless with laminate. Because it is available in an infinite number of styles, patterns, and colors, homeowners can choose the design that fits their home and their personality just right.
5 REASONS TO CHOOSE LAMINATE COUNTERTOPS
1. COST SAVINGS:
In the real estate world everyone IS FAMILIAR WITH “location, location, location.” When it comes to laminate countertops it’s “savings, savings, savings.” and the beauty is you are not compromising on looks, durability, or functionality. Today’s laminate tops have incredibly beautiful finishes. With Formica brand laminates you have your choice of 5- different premium edge treatments – square, waterfall, ogee, bullnose, and double radius.
Want that waterfall island top? You can do it for a fraction of the cost of granite or quartz. You can EVEN have an undermount sink installed to rival those in real stone tops. You can have it all and SAVE, SAVE, SAVE compared with granite and quartz.
2. LIFE IS SIMPLE WITH LAMINATE:
Frequently referred to by the brand name Formica, laminate is NON-POROUS AND easy to clean, allowing you to live as stress-free as can be. You don’t need to hassle with stone cleaners RE-SEALING or other specialized cleaning products like you may have to with other countertop materials. All you need is mild soap and water.
3. THE AIR AND SURFACES MAY BE CLEANER:
Laminate countertops are non-porous, unlike granite. For that reason, they do not trap germs and allergens, making them perfect for families with young children.
4. CHOOSE WHAT YOU LIKE:
Because laminate is manmade, you have a greater choice of colors and patterns. That’s important if you are aiming to create a unique home design.
So, what’s your style? Rich beautiful wood? The elegance of black marble? Sophisticated Quartz or the ever-popular classic Calcutta marble? All this and more is possible with today’s laminate finishes, edges, and sinks!
5. YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF:
Although having countertop surfaces professionally installed saves time and effort, some people choose to complete such a project on their own. If that’s your preference, this material is the only one a do-it-yourselfer can work with.
