If someone is on a tight budget they should take a look.
Marble look alike formica.
Its been almost 3 yrs now not a scratch or chip in it.
The last house i lived in a rental had a marble look alike formica counters.
I guess i thought they would have been proved done such a thing if they re going to make it look like marble going through all that.
Marble countertops can be extremely pricey but laminate can give you the look without blowing your budget.
Yes these are formica calacatta marble.
The formica photos i think do not do their own product justice they are too cold.
I had white formica countertops in a house built in the 90s and it did seem rather easily period the stains number stayed there necessarily but they were there for a little while at least before they faded.
It even had a square edge.
We hope to use it in our kitchen sometime soon.
For faux stone patterns like marble and granite as i understand it they take a photo of an actual slab and that is what they use for the laminate so no worries about pattern repeats.
Formica offers a number of styles that resemble marble and they also offer several options for decorative edges.
I discovered that formica had these granite marble look alike counters a year ago and my husband and i fell in love with it.
We used formica fx not the marble pattern though and yes its more pricey than some but i do like it.
