When it comes to kitchen counters, the most popular choices are granite, marble and quartz. While natural stones like granite and marble and engineered stones like quartz have their advantages, they also have their drawbacks. They are difficult to install, expensive and require high maintenance.
This is where, laminates come into the picture. Laminate is a budget-friendly countertop that offers an array of benefits. Premium laminate products as offered by Décor Luxury Stones provide a stylish, practical and high-performance product for your kitchen, making them an excellent alternative to natural stone.
In this guide, we compare the top features of laminates and natural stones and help you evaluate which is the best choice for your kitchen countertop.

So, irrespective of your kitchen style, you can find a laminate counter that matches your design preferences.
Thanks to the advances in laminate printing technology, today laminates can mimic the aesthetic of other popular materials like natural stone and wood.
