Worn Formica countertops like the one in the picture
above usually suffer from wear and tear. If you notice, there is a lot
of damage next to the sink and this could be from all sorts of different
things.
Home Repair Tip: I would remove and replace the entire Formica
countertop. I don't recommend repairing or installing a new countertop
on top of the old one.
Don't forget about your options as far as kitchen countertops go. You
can always install a different type of countertop. There are plenty of
different countertops like tile, granite, decorative concrete and Corian
available today. Your choices are unlimited.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to read the manufacturer's installation
instructions and product warranties, before actually installing any
types of new countertops in your kitchen.
If you're planning on installing Formica again and you're not allowed to
put any hot pans directly on the surface, this would be something good
to know, wouldn't it. Especially if you're not a multimillionaire and
don't plan on replacing the countertop in the near future.
You should know how to properly take care of and maintaining your
kitchen countertops, whatever types of building materials they are made
out of.
