Laminate Countertops: Beautiful, Affordable, Durable

Are you doing a kitchen renovation and simply cannot get past the cost of using granite, marble, or even quartz? The original laminates were first introduced in the early 20th century, but the contemporary designs are anything but old fashioned. The Countertop Shop in Monclova, OH can install a stunning laminate countertop that meets all your design choices at a price that will be a pleasant surprise.

Looks Almost Like Natural Stone or Any Color of the Rainbow

When you are considering which laminate to go with, you will be provided hundreds of options from solid colors to textures that are extremely similar to granite or marble. The laminate material is made out of layers of resin and plastic or papers that are baked into a hard surface. The laminate sheet is then glued down to a wood surface like particle board to create the counter. The laminate designers can recreate any kind of pattern, picture, solid color, or texture you can imagine. If you have a particular appearance in mind for your modern renovation, laminate offers you the most options without sending your budget through the roof.

Install an Entire Kitchen at Significant Savings

Your entire kitchen or bath countertop installation can be done for about a third of what it will cost compared to a solid surface installation. The laminate is easy to cut and trim to fit any size counter. The lightweight laminate can be glued to counter surfaces at the shop and simply mounted into place in your home, or it can be applied to onsite. It is flexible too, so if you are covering a cylinder or curved surface, it can wrap around without using any types of special fasteners. You can also repair damaged laminate using a matching sheet, since laminate styles are often created in large batches. A stone counter will never find a perfect match.

Laminate Stands Up to Years of Abuse

You might think that since it is the less expensive option that a laminate counter will not perform well in your busy kitchen. Wrong! Laminates are designed with a projected working lifespan of 15 to 20 years. They will maintain their like-new appearance for at least 10 years. They are easy to clean, resist scratches, and dents. If you use cutting boards, hot pads, and wipe them down daily, you can expect your laminate counters to pay you back with years of reliable and beautiful service. By the time that your laminate counters are showing signs of age, you will probably be thinking about your next kitchen upgrade.
