What do you think of when you hear the word “laminate” when associated with kitchen countertops? Are you picturing your grandmother’s countertop post WWII, or a tacky green countertop that seems to have stepped out of the 1970s? Maybe you’re thinking of Alice preparing dinner on the Brady’s burnt orange countertops.
To all of those thoughts, we say this: First of all, the fact that your memories of laminate countertops stem back to many different decades just goes to show that the material has been trusted by families and businesses for many years. And, on top of that, forget your previous memories of what laminate looked like – it has come a long way while homeowners have been taking a hiatus to drool over granite and quartz. Technological advancements have done beautiful things for laminate countertops.
