Need help! Wilsonart or Formica

13 years ago

What's the "best", "real-looking" Wilsonart or Formica that you have seen?
I will have white, thermofoil cabinets.
I would really like to have Silestone, Cambria, but my budget says otherwise.
I really, really want my kitchen to look nice!!! I have waited a long time to do this.
THanks!

Any preference on Wilsonart or Formica?

With a small budget, I would recommend butcher block for 1/2 of ur counters then go to your local granite yard and ask to see their remnants area, which is about 75% less then buying a slab......if you mix and match, your kitchen will look killer!!

Good idea. Is granite strong? Which is better, granite or marble? Thanks.

both are good choices, formica has a new 180 fx line with ideal edges that make the edges look like a slab of stone, check out the Formica website.
