We used formica fx not the marble pattern though and yes its more pricey than some but i do like it.
Marble look alike formica.
Yes these are formica calacatta marble.
If someone is on a tight budget they should take a look.
It even had a square edge.
The formica photos i think do not do their own product justice they are too cold.
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.
The last house i lived in a rental had a marble look alike formica counters.
I discovered that formica had these granite marble look alike counters a year ago and my husband and i fell in love with it.
Its been almost 3 yrs now not a scratch or chip in it.
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.
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.
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.
We hope to use it in our kitchen sometime soon.
Formica offers a number of styles that resemble marble and they also offer several options for decorative edges.
