We see less and less the specifying of FormicaŽ type (plastic laminate) countertops in commercial lab, vanity and health care situations Too often the
countertops
are fabricated with set-on or attached splashes, promoting unsanitary or hard to
sanitize situations. Unfortunately, the more popular alternatives are very
expensive in comparison. C. Mather Co. can fabricate a custom sized cove rolled
countertop without miters, or, in some cases, seams even, that rollup in the
backsplash and side splash areas. These tops can last 15 to 25 years and can be
replaced once or twice and still not equal to cost of a CorianŽ type (solid
surface) top.
Different
depths, different splash heights, and a variety of glue types to make a low
maintenance countertop suitable to almost any need. With a coved splash, we
eliminate one of the hardest areas to clean (whether laminate or solid surface),
provide superior moisture protection and we may even be able to run that coved
splash right up to the upper cabinets, or at least further away from the source
of contamination. This eliminates the top of the splash from becoming a problem
as well.
The Mather coved roll tops are less expensive, easy to clean, and may be the answer in many situations where moisture protection and ease of cleaning are required, but the budget is not unlimited.
