If you’re on a budget when doing kitchen remodeling in Tucson, AZ, and need new countertops, laminate makes a great choice to wood and natural stone. Laminate countertops have a reputation as being cheap, and while they cost less, than wood or stone, they aren’t as bad as you think. Here are some benefits of laminate countertops.
Long-Lasting
The laminate of today isn’t like the laminate from previous decades so they don’t peel and stain easily. Even the most durable stone surfaces are prone to chipping and cracking, but laminate can withstand more usage. Modern laminate has the potential of lasting 10-12 years with proper care such as wiping liquid immediately. You may be surprised to learn modern top brand laminate is more heat-resistant and water-resistant.
Easy to Maintain
The non-porous surface of laminate is easy to clean. You commonly only need a damp cloth to clean mild dirt or a mixture of warm water and liquid dish soap. Wipe the surface until the dirt has lifted and rinse the cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaners on laminate since they may scratch the surface.
Aesthetics
The new technology used to make laminate allows them to mimic natural stone such as granite or marble. In the past you could only get square edges which made a noticeable black line. You now have the options of bull nose edges or ogee edges on top laminate brands.
Professional Installation
