Laminate Benchtops
Everybody is familiar with the laminate kitchen benchtop. It is the most common benchtop material. Some people refer to high pressure laminate as Formica, which was the original brand back in the 1950’s. Laminate has come a long way since then with a huge choice of. brands colours and qualities. It is much thinner nowadays of course.
Thinner laminate means that it is possible to form (bend) it to give rounded edges. Too thin and it bends nicely but does not last very long as it will wear out quickly. As with most things the more you pay the better the quality. The top laminates are very tough, resist wear very well and will look good for many years. The cheapest laminates will soon show signs of wear and are not likely to look great after a couple of years.
