Laminate Countertops


Laminate countertops are made by binding layers of printed paper and resin under high pressure to create a sheet that can be cut, shaped and glued to particle board. Laminate countertops cost a fraction of most other countertops.

Countertops can be made from Formica, Wilsonart, or Pionite brand laminates.
