Decorative laminates are long-lasting materials that are widely utilized to enhance the appearance of furniture, cabinetry, countertops, and walls. These laminates are composed of layers of kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resin and a decorative layer saturated with melamine resin, which are fused together under high heat and pressure. The end result is a strong, durable surface that is resistant to scratches, heat, and stains. Decorative laminates are available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures, allowing for versatile design options in both home and commercial setting.
