Laminate Benchtops

Q: Are laminate benchtops heat resistant?

Unlike other materials like natural stone benchtops, laminate benchtops aren’t as tolerant to heat. If hot pots and pans are continuously placed on top of laminate, it can lead to the blistering, browning, and rolling up of the laminate. When in doubt, it’s good to use a placemat.

Q: Are laminate kitchen benchtops porous?

Laminate kitchen benchtops are generally non-porous and waterproof. This makes these types of benchtops smooth, glossy, and scratch resistant—so it’s a great choice for kitchen benchtops in Australia.

Laminate benchtops are water-resistant and look strikingly glossy, making them a great addition to a kitchen. They consist of a layer of plastic laminate around a block of engineered wood, making them a solid and reliable choice.
