If your DVR is full of home renovation shows, you’ll likely encounter quite a few kitchen remodels to watch. One of the most common aspects of those projects is selecting new countertops. While trends have focused on granite, quartz, marble and other stones as the materials to use, advances in laminate offerings should not be overlooked as you evaluate the options for your Tulsa area home. Some benefits to consider include:
Laminate has come a long way
Formica laminate countertops have made significant changes to their design, making them more appealing than ever as an option. Those changes resulted in a much larger selection of beautiful and luxurious patterns and designs. Many of these new choices perfectly mimic the look of pricey stonework.
Relief to your budget
Like most materials, there are different grades available in a variety of price points, but laminate remains one of the most affordable choices you have. Unlike stonework which can require specialized fabrication, this installation-friendly material can be installed quickly and easily.
Customization options for your space
Ask the designer you are working with about decorative edge choices available for Formica laminate countertops. These options can mimic what you will see in higher end stones. Not only are they attractive throughout the space, but if you are installing on an island, they can add a stunning finishing touch.
What you see in the magazines and on television may be beautiful, but take the time learn about all the options you have for your Tulsa area home for both style and budget. That does not mean granite, marble or quartz should not be on your list of choices and could be the right option for your home, it is about taking the time to see all the products on the market today.
