Is a refinished countertop as durable as a laminate countertop?

By

Laminate countertops have often been the material of choice for kitchen countertops because they are a non-porous surface that is easy to clean, comes in a wide variety of colors, and is resistant to heat and stains. Laminate countertops are often marketed under brand names such as Formica and Wilsonart. While they are considered to be an economical choice, there are also a few disadvantages to laminate countertops.

Laminate countertops can be cut, scratched, or even chipped and that type of damage isn’t easy to repair. Once a laminate countertop has been damaged, it becomes a great candidate for refinishing. If you like the look and layout of your laminate kitchen counters, refinishing is a way to completely restore them to a like-new condition and feel. With the Miracle Method refinishing process, you’ve got plenty of color and texture options available, so you can get a great new look for a fraction of the cost.

While refinished countertops are comparable to laminate in that they are durable, non-porous, stain and heat resistant, unlike laminate, refinished countertops can be easily repaired if damage occurs.

Miracle Method Case Studies: Milwaukee Hilton

By

We’re not called “Miracle Method” for no reason- our bathtub surface refinishing method makes an astounding difference on even the worst bathtub disasters. Take for instance on of our case studies, in which Miracle Method came to the rescue of the Milwaukee Hilton!

The hotel was experiencing an awful “squishy bathtub” problem. About 500 units with worn out and discolored bathtubs had been “upgraded” with new bathtub liners. However, only 2 years later, most of the liners had failed, allowing water to collect between the tub and liner, and resulting in a “squishy” feel underfoot, as well as mold and odors resulting from the stagnant water.

Replacing 500 bathtubs would have been incredibly expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive to hotel guests, so the hotel made a wise decision. They called Miracle Method to the rescue! Miracle Method removed the liners and began work restoring the original bathtubs. Chips, cracks and scratches were mended, and the tubs were thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, repaired, and bonded, before finally undergoing the final finish.
