LAMINATE OR FORMICA – WHICH IS IT?

Listen Later

The many choices for countertops can be mindboggling, so my intention was to explain all the different materials and include the pros and cons of each one.  Unfortunately I didn't get passed explaining laminates, but on a positive note, this podcast answers all the questions you might have on plastic laminates.

        The Pros of Laminate
        • Budget friendly
        • Easily available to you.
        • Good for people who change decor often
        • Good for low traffic areas
        • Easy to Install

          • The Cons of Laminate

          • Easy to Damage:
          • Undermount sinks are not easy to install so top mount is the common sink application
          • Not good for Resale
