Yes it is, compared to attached splash or set on splash tops, and therein lies the problem. You can only charge so much for this work before you start getting into solid surface or stone territory.

Commercially, it’s not so bad, as the volume really helps adjust the price down, but residentially, where we can really make some artwork masterpieces, it can get quite pricey.

I was going to ask if this is cost effective. Seems like you could move up to solid surface for the same price.

Andy, yes, for the most part it is still cost effective. You might make a solid surface window area with 1/2″ front edge and a set on splash for about the same money, but I don’t think that is a fair comparison to full thickness top, coved splashes, and all the color options yo have with laminate.

There are certainly laminate jobs where the cost would not make it worthwhile, but that is the case with any material, and we would, of course, let the customer know this.
