[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Laminate is cheaper than granite but so is tile. You could use ceramic tile or even 1 foot x 1 foot marble or granite tile, still cheaper than granite which is made the length of the counter. I would talk to a real estate agent if you plan to sell anytime in the next 5 years or so. If you are spending lots of money on cabinets and other stuff and then get laminate it might deter potential buyers. 5 years ago laminate was OK in my neighborhood. Now even in this very middle class neighborhood, buyers expect granite if you have redone your kitchen. I prefer laminate to tile but when we got new cabinets, I got granite (which is cheaper than silestone and all the other fabricated stones) because it is expected and we would like to sell in 5 years. If you plan on staying in your house for 20 more years, then get the laminate. I would prefer laminate to tile countertops. [/quote] This is a really good point. [/quote]
