Traditional laminate Formica countertops are by far the best known, easy to care for, and economical option. Formica laminate shouldnâ?Tt be overlooked! There is a trend to move toward more expensive countertop options, but there is something to be said about economy and durability. There are laminates now being produced that look like the more popular choices of granite, marble, and other stone.

These countertops can give you the beauty and functionality, without the added maintenance of real stone countertop surfaces. Laminate countertops are easy to keep clean and easy to repair in most instances. Keep in mind that they are not indestructible though! Normal care should be taken not to use the countertop as a cutting board, and the use of hotpads is always a good idea as very hot pans could melt the plastic.

With proper care and maintenance, your Formica countertop can stay beautiful for years to come!
