I'm curious if covering a bathroom counter with veneer and sealing it with waterproof polyurethane would be a good solution. I've never worked with veneer before and would appreciate any tips or alternative methods. Thanks for your help!

The type of veneer really matters here! If your veneer is wood, using a waterproof polyurethane should work well for a bathroom. It will help protect against the humidity and moisture. Just make sure to apply it properly! If it's a plastic veneer, you might not even need the poly, since many of those materials are already water-resistant. Hope that helps!
Honestly, I'd advise against that. Bathroom environments can be pretty tough on surfaces due to all the moisture. Although waterproof poly adds a layer of protection, the veneer itself might not handle the humidity very well over time. Have you considered other materials that are more durable for a bathroom countertop?
Thanks for the input! We're looking at a maple veneer, though I'm worried about how it will hold up in that environment. Any suggestions based on that?
