subject: Kitchen Worktop Surfaces – Granite, Solid Wood and Laminate [print this page] Laminate worktops are much cheaper, as they tend to be a plastic coating over a thick layer of fibre-board. This makes them lightweight, and fairly easy to clean, though it's important to keep any hot items off them for fear of melting the plastic overcoat. Because it's a completely synthetic material, it can come in any color, pattern or texture, which makes it the easiest of the three options to accommodate into a kitchen design.
