Laminate Flooring Workbench

Make your workbench as good as new (and resistant to scrapes, gouges and glue).

Chips in your workbench surface along with deep gouges and messy stains mean you are ready for a bench top retread. Interested in a smart and easy solution? Try resurfacing with pieces of laminate flooring. Use either scraps or home-center bargain buys. The pieces make an excellent workbench surface -- smooth, tough and easy to clean. Paint drips and dried glue blobs are easily scraped from this surface. And, if you choose snap-together flooring, you can leave the top basically free-floating, with just a few edge nails holding it in place. When it starts showing a bit of wear, just remove it and replace it. Not only will it look like new time after time, you also can change wood grains as you wish --oak today, maple next time.
