New Countertop Materials--sort of!


Plastic Laminate countertops and Cultured Marble countertops have been around for a long time but they both have made some interesting strides in finishes that I am really excited to share! 

Formica has introduced the FX series of countertops.  It is an exciting series of Granite-Like colors unlike their regular series! 
The have the look of granite and what is most impressive is that they have a texture to the finish that feels and looks more like a honed granite.  They are BEAUTIFUL!   We are very excited about them.  The price higher than the regular matte laminate finishes but fall well below Honed Granites!  We have several large samples to show and they look like slabs of granite! 

The other Countertop material that I am excited to talk about is the Cultured Marbe that is made of recycled materials.  They use crushed walnut shells, green bottles, glass, beer bottles, and mason jars.  The tops have a transulency that is beautiful and the best part is that they are in the same price point as our mid-priced cultured marbles!  Finally a "green" product with a reasonable price tag! 

The best part of this business is the constant innovations!  Every day something new comes out.  Sometimes it is terrific like these 2 products are!
