Combining the luxurious look of a stone countertop with affordability, Wilsonart debuted 24 new laminate surface colors this year: twenty stone designs and four woodgrain patterns, and a matte finish for six colors. The firm says its laminate is resistant to odor- and stain-causing mold and mildew, as well as scratches and scuffs, and is an environmentally-friendly and less expensive alternative to stone. The laminate ranges in price from $25 to $33 per square foot when installed. wilsonart.com
