The last house i lived in a rental had a marble look alike formica counters.
Marble look alike formica.
If someone is on a tight budget they should take a look.
We used formica fx not the marble pattern though and yes its more pricey than some but i do like it.
Yes these are formica calacatta marble.
We hope to use it in our kitchen sometime soon.
For faux stone patterns like marble and granite as i understand it they take a photo of an actual slab and that is what they use for the laminate so no worries about pattern repeats.
Marble countertops can be extremely pricey but laminate can give you the look without blowing your budget.
I discovered that formica had these granite marble look alike counters a year ago and my husband and i fell in love with it.
It even had a square edge.
But in person the countertops are a very affordable way to get a nice clean light look no they are not marble but they are pretty.
We would love the real thing but would be impractical in our townhouse where we wouldn t earn the money bag.
A laminate alternative is a better investment for us.
I guess i thought they would have been proved done such a thing if they re going to make it look like marble going through all that.
