Laminate countertops outnumber marble countertops these days. Many customers of Palm Springs construction companies find laminate a convenient material because it is affordable, mass-produced, and very adaptable. Would you believe that this popular composite material has paper in it? Of course, the paper and other materials used for these kitchen countertops are bonded in high heat and pressure between layers of resins or plastic. The laminate, now a very thin layer, is glued to cheap plywood. The finished product is then used as the top of a kitchen counter.
Of course, using laminate also has its disadvantages. You can't expect it to be durable. It easily cracks, and, in due time, you'll notice your kitchen countertops slowly disintegrating. Most Palm Springs construction companies also notice that, compared with marble countertops, laminate can easily be defaced with scorch marks, leaving the wood layer of the plywood exposed. But don't fret just yet if you have laminate in your kitchen. While it can be easily damaged, it is also quite easy to clean. And if you know how to take care of it properly, you can look forward years without renovation.
Laminate countertops don't stain as badly as other materials do. Compared with marble countertops, laminate can easily withstand a variety of cleaning products, from soap to water to vinegar to bleach. What you have to be prepared for is when heat does damage to your laminate. If you have really damaged kitchen countertops like mine, though, you can start considering the services of a Palm Springs construction company. Because of years of use, what used to be a smooth finish has now been replaced by a texture that resembles faux leather. After baking, I need to use hot water and scrub the surface with a brush just to make sure that I've eliminated all the dough.
