Because bathrooms are prone to such high humidity and excessive moisture, certain materials used for bathroom remodels will not yield the best results in the long run. A prime example of a poor application would be the installation of laminate vanities or a laminate countertop.The disadvantage of laminate cabinetry and countertops is that they are layered. Over a brief time of just a few years, laminates can and most likely will de-laminate (peel apart).
Remodeling a bathroom is the perfect time to not just replace the existing vanity top with the same inferior laminate material, but upgrade to much more durable and beautiful natural materials such as granite, soapstone, or limestone. Natural stone countertops and even flooring can create a warm and serene atmosphere to an antiseptically efficient environment depending upon the color and stone right down to the custom edge profile of the countertop.
Very few other building materials are as versatile or as widely desired as natural stone.
