The Pros and Cons of the Laminate Kitchen Countertop

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

Making the decision to remodel your kitchen was not an easy one. You had to take an assessment of your finances and decide on the new look you want. Now you may be at the stage where you must choose which countertop you would like to use. If your finances are not as strong, you may opt for laminate kitchen countertops. There are both pros and cons to using the laminate kitchen countertop.

The main pro is the cost factor. Laminates are much less expensive than using natural stone. If you have limited funds, using a laminate would make more sense. At this price point, you may also be able to install laminate countertops in rooms other than the kitchen. Some people even install these in laundry rooms, dens, and offices. You can even install it into an adjoining dining room or family room to give your home a coordinated look.

Another advantage is that laminate countertops are widely available in many colors, patterns, and prints. There is very little need to special order unless there is a very specific color or print that you want. If you are looking to color coordinate your countertops to your kitchen appliances, you will be able to find the color you need. You can also find laminate countertops that mimic the appearance of natural stone, such as marble or limestone. That way, you can have the look of natural stone without paying the price of it.

Laminate countertops are made by gluing together layers of sheets of materials such as kraft paper under high pressure. These sheets are then secured to a stiff backing such as particleboard. The manner in which the laminate is made makes it susceptible to burns from hot pots and burn marks are difficult, if not impossible, to remove. You also need to make sure that there is no water left sitting on the countertop. The moisture will cause it to warp and become loosened from the backing over time.

Laminate kitchen countertops are relatively easy to clean and they require no special cleansers to take care of them. They are also easy to disinfect since the product is nonporous. Also, compared to other materials, laminate countertops are easier to install and are easier to cut to fit intricate cabinetry edgings and sink openings. You do not need any special high performance tools to cut out holes for sinks or to cut off extra material.

Laminate kitchen countertops are very popular in kitchens past and present. With their ease of installation and low price points, they are sure to remain a popular way to update kitchens. If you take care of them, do not set any hot pots on them, and keep them dry, your laminate kitchen countertops will give you years of fashionable service before needing to be replaced.
