Why laminate is the new trend in countertops.
Laminate is not a new countertop material, but today it is enjoying a resurgence in popularity because it offers home and business owners so many features and benefits at a budget-friendly price.
01 Hundreds of Options
With solid surface materials, like stone and marble, you’re typically limited in terms of color, finish and shape. The material just isn’t that flexible. But laminate is exactly the opposite: it comes in a broad spectrum of colors, textures and finishes, and it can be cut into just about any shape imaginable. It can also be used in just about any setting or application, whether it be a kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, office, showroom or board room.
02 Durable & Easy to Clean
Sure, marble is lovely, but be careful with the red wine and knives — because it will stain and scratch. Like marble, many natural materials require special care and maintenance to protect them from damage. Not laminate. It’s tough, long-lasting, stain resistant, and essentially requires no special care or maintenance. Laminate is also very easy to keep clean because it’s solid, non-porous and water-resistant.
03 Value
When you consider that laminate now offers the beauty of solid surface countertops but with greater flexibility and durability at fraction the price, laminate delivers outstanding value every single time.
04 Cleanliness
Laminate is non-porous, which means it doesn’t absorb dirt, particles, liquids, germs, bacteria and other substances you don’t want hanging around on your counters. Also, because laminate is so flexible and can be perfectly configured to fit a space exactly, you have fewer seams, cuts or grout lines where bacteria, dirt and mold can accumulate.
05 Sustainable
Laminate is manufactured from renewable resources, such as recycled and recovered components, and exhibits low air emission characteristics to maintain high quality indoor environments. Of all countertop options, it is the perfect option for environmentally conscientious customers.
