How cost-effective are laminate countertops?
Laminate countertops are among the least expensive countertop materials for laboratory applications but come with lower resistance and durability. Therefore, laminate countertops have excellent cost-effectiveness for less extreme lab work, and relatively poor cost-effectiveness for more extreme lab work.
