Designed for both residential and commercial applications, our laminates offer a sophisticated, durable, and cost-effective alternative to natural materials, empowering you to create spaces that inspire.
What are Laminates?
Laminates are engineered surfacing materials composed of multiple layers fused together under high heat and pressure. Typically, they consist of:
- Decorative Paper: Impregnated with resin, providing the desired pattern, color, or texture.
- Kraft Paper Core: Multiple layers of robust kraft paper, also resin-impregnated, offering strength and stability.
- Overlay Paper (for HPL): A clear, protective layer that enhances scratch and abrasion resistance.
- Balancing Paper: On the reverse side, to prevent warping and ensure structural integrity.
This precise construction results in a highly resilient and visually stunning surface perfect for a myriad of applications.
