The Versatility of Laminate Kitchen Countertops

If you are searching for versatility and inexpensive custom-made kitchen countertops, you should consider purchasing Laminate for your kitchen. These custom-made countertops have durability and can be easily maintained. Read now to learn why laminate kitchen countertops are such a suitable kitchen countertop choice.

Laminate tops provide homeowners the opportunity to be creative in their kitchen design, since there are a multitude of color and style options to choose from. In fact, there are more color and pattern options available with laminate, than there are with any other type of surface including granite, marble, quartz or Corian!! There are even colors and finishes which will make your top look just like a solid surface. For example, you can choose a pattern that resembles Corian, granite, marble, or even faux wood.

The finish options available are matte, glossy, and patterns with a texture to them such as the “etchings” finish in Formica. You can utilize these patterns to transform your kitchen to a modern, stylish living space, and not have to worry about breaking the budget at the same time.

Laminate countertops are not only sophisticated looking but relatively durable for the following reasons:

-Strength.  When well maintained, laminate countertops can last anywhere from 15 years to a lifetime.

Water Resistant. Laminate countertops are moisture resistant preventing severe water damage while maintaining the design quality of your kitchen countertops.

Heat Resistant. Laminate countertops are moderately heat resistant and can withstand heat up to150 degrees. However, it is never recommended to put a boiling pot directly onto the surface as this will cause damage.

-Scratch Resistant. Laminate countertops are resistant to minor scratches.

These features help make laminate countertops very low maintenance. All that is truly needed to maintain laminate is soap and water. A non-abrasive cleaner can also be used to remove stains. Avoid using harsh abrasives or scrub pads during countertop cleaning to prevent surface discoloration and damage.

Laminate countertops are the perfect countertop option for any kitchen because of the vast array of colors and patterns available. It is an inexpensive product, but can be just as attractive as any solid surface top.

With the right pattern, style, finish and edge option, your Laminate countertops will have no challenge bringing sexy back to your kitchen.
