7 WHAT YOUR CUSTOMERS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT VT FINE LAMINATE COUNTERTOPS VARIETY Many of your customers probably still refer to laminate countertops as Formica. Several major companies now manufacture laminate, including Formica, Wilsonart and Nevamar, and VT works with all of them. We also offer ten unique profiles, so we can supply your customers with literally thousands of possibilities to choose from. VERSATILITY Your customers may come into your shop wanting something for their kitchen or bath. But VT countertops can be used in every room of the house. They re perfect for workspaces, laundry rooms, garages, desktops and children s rooms. And best of all, they re a fraction of the cost of granite or stone. Which is also great news for your commercial and light industrial clients. VALUE When it comes to a quality countertop, what s underneath your laminate is just as important. With VT you can assure your customers that their countertop is built to last. Our countertops are also extremely cost-effective when compared to other popular materials. Some laminates are even textured to look and feel like stone, granite or brushed aluminum. Because our countertops are formed as a single piece with a rolled front edge and an integral backsplash, there are no seams to collect dirt and grime, which means less bacterial and microbial growth for a cleaner, healthier surface. And don t forget that they never need to be resealed or polished like most stone and solid surface products. FUTURA Tumbled Roca , Wilsonart
