What is a laminate?

Laminate is an artificial material used for furnishing commercial and residential spaces. They are made with a specialised transparent paper coated with aluminium oxide and a unique resin mixture to protect the top surface of the laminate from scratches, impacts, abrasion, spills and other external agents. 

Furthermore, a combination of specially treated Kraft papers with a variety of resin mixtures are used to provide strength, balance, stability, better sanding and adhesion, and longevity to the product. The core, once treated under controlled conditions, prevents the laminate from cracking and fracturing, ensuring it looks good and stays good for years.
