About Our Countertops

 

Surell countertop fabricated by Romans Interiors

Your countertop is a significant tool in your kitchen, so choosing what materials, styles and colors to use is an important decision. Romans can show you the many choices available and provide their expertise to help you with your decision. They offer both laminates and solid surface countertops.

Laminate Countertops

Countertops crafted with Formica® brand laminate consist of a thin layer of plastic glued to particle board or wood. Laminates can simulate many different materials such as wood, stone and marble. Wood, brass and other inserts can be added to the countertop edge to achieve an individualised look.

Some of the advantages of laminate countertops are:

• Inexpensive and fairly durable
• Available in many patterns and colors
• Resists staining
• Easy to clean

Solid Surface Countertops

Solid surface countertops, such as Dupont Corian® are made from acrylic and/or polyester resins. They can be polished, but often have a matte finish. Sinks can be molded into the top giving a built-in appearance. Edging detail is unlimited. Some of the advantages of solid surface countertops are:

• Non-porous and stain resistent
• Abrasive cleaners can be used
• Easy to clean and refinish
• Many colors available
• Seamless
• Scratches can be repaired
