How cost-effective are epoxy resin countertops?

Epoxy countertops provide some of the best value for the cost. Epoxy counters are mid-tier in terms of cost, while being one of the most well-rounded laboratory work surfaces available. When it comes to multipurpose use, epoxy counters are the best possible choice for labs on a budget. There is a lower overall cost for epoxy counters compared to specialized counter materials.

How long do epoxy resin countertops last?

Epoxy resin countertops can easily last 10+ years with proper care. Overall, epoxy counters have very high durability.

Do epoxy resin countertops stain?

Epoxy countertops will stain if spills are not adequately cleaned up. For this reason, black is the preferred color for epoxy countertops in laboratory settings.
