They’re easy to maintain

Clean off your laminate surfaces in moments. These smooth kitchen worktops are a cinch to clean, requiring a simple wipe-down to do away with mess. Plus, it’s easy to keep your laminate work surfaces in good shape for a good long time.

They’re affordable

Natural worktops made from granite, wood and marble can be pricey. In contrast, laminate worktops are much more budget-friendly, with options for realistic-looking stone and wood-effect patterning that will elevate your home in the way you want, for a fraction of the price.

They work for your space

Our compact laminate worktops are increasingly popular. These skinny surfaces are thinner than regular laminate worktops, bringing a slimline feel to your kitchen and making small spaces feel a little larger.
