Popular Laminate Kitchen Countertops

Beveled Edge Plastic Laminate CountertopWhen selecting your laminate top for the kitchen area of your home there are many styles and colors to choose from. In my twenty seven years of making kitchen countertops the most popular designs and colors are determined by the current trends.

This Wilsonart laminate selection combined with a wooden edged countertop was very popular during that time. Like everything else, new edge profiles continue to emerge and so do new colors and patterns.

I like to make them using the same tools and materials that I use to fabricate kitchen cabinets out of. If the bench seat is located near the kitchen then you should consider building it to match your cupboardā€™s design.
