formica solid surface countertops,price,samples,review,description

It might look unusual, that Formica, which was purely laminate countertops manufacturer, has begun producing hard surface countertops, but I guess the company is developing and trying new products with time.

These solid surfaces are similar to Corian laminate. The solid surface countertops are resin-based and have the same material through the whole thickness of the countertop. These Formica solid surfaces need no particle board or any other type of backing, because they have good structural stability and are strong enough without the backing.

Formica countertop prices are reasonable, it is very impact resistant and with proper care it can last for many years. I would definitely recommend these countertops to you, but don't forget to check out the prices to get the best deal out there. Solid surface Formica costs from $90 – $125 per linear foot.

This price includes installation. The price for solid surface is of course higher, than for laminate. But because of solid surface, the countertop is much more durable, lasts longer and you have to be less careful what you put or do on it. The price is comparable to competition, like Corian solid surfaces. The Formica solid surface countertops also come with a limited 10 year warranty for the material. For the installation warranty you should check with the installer to see if there is any and how long it lasts.

Formica solid surface countertops are made from raw sheets that come in sizes 30" x 145" or 36" x 145". There are also a few sinks and basins that can be installed in solid surface countertops. Although Corian is the name for solid surface countertops, the ones from Formica are of the same quality and for comparable prices. In the end all comes down to personal preferences, between the two manufacturers.
