How Do you Overlay Laminate Countertops?

Last Updated on March 2, 2023

Are you interested in sprucing up your kitchen but aren’t excited about everything that comes with a full remodel? The good news is that you don’t have to put off updating your space until you are ready to dive into the world of remodeling headfirst. Consider starting with a smaller project, like a brand-new countertop overlay. And, in case you’ve never heard of this option before, trust us—it’s as easy as it sounds. Below, we’ll explore how you install an overlay countertop on laminate so you can see how quick and painless the process is.

Planning Stage

The first step is getting all the proper measurements. When you work with Granite and TREND Transformations, we will send our experts to your home. There, they will take precise measurements of your existing countertop. That way, we can make sure your new counter fits just right. You get to select the surface that is right for your space! We have a wide selection to choose from, from granite and quartz to marble and recycled glass.

Installation Stage

Once your chosen countertop material has been cut to the precise specifications, it’s time for installation! Unlike standard countertop replacements, installing an overlay countertop on laminate takes almost no time. The installation team will ensure the existing surface is clean and free of dust and debris.

Then, we overlay the new countertop surface right on top of the laminate using a strong adhesive. The entire process is relatively mess-free (as far as kitchen remodels go) and only takes about a day. But the best part is that overlaying laminate countertops is much more cost-effective than a complete replacement.
