and Innovative Finishes
Laminate surfaces have been around for years, but today’s laminate is nothing like its predecessors. With all new designs and innovative finishes emerging every day, brands like Formica and Wilsonart are redefining laminate for a new generation of homeowners. Thinking about laminate for your home? Here’s what you need to know:
Time-Tested and Affordable
Compared to its alternatives, laminate is one of the most dependable and affordable options for home surfacing. Made from layers of kraft paper fused together under intense heat and pressure, it possesses some of the same qualities as natural stone or wood, yet it’s significantly less expensive. Laminates are a go-to option for homeowners seeking stone and wood alternatives with greater customization options at a fraction of the cost.
Nearly Endless Customization
As laminate surfaces have risen in popularity, more options have become available. While some homeowners want styles that mimic other surfaces, laminate surfaces are also available in their own unique designs, patterns, and finishes. They are a great choice for homeowners wanting to add an eclectic or stylistic touch to their home décor. Additionally, laminate surfaces can be cut to fit nearly any surface you can imagine; they’re ideal for covering rounded, curved or irregular-shaped surfaces.
Low-Maintenance, Easy to Clean, and Lightweight
Though not as impact resistant as engineered stone, these surfaces have evolved to be more durable than ever. Like most man-made surfaces, you’ll want to avoid direct or extreme heat. Otherwise, laminates are stain-resistant and easy to maintain over time. Should damage occur, they are simple and quick to replace. Upkeep is also easy — warm water, dish soap, and light scrubbing should do the trick on most everyday messes.
