So, what is Melamine?

Melamine is made with an ultra-thin sheet of paper and pressure fusing a textured resin melamine paper onto particleboard to create the textured quality or three-dimensional effect, providing a seamless integration of pattern and color.

Why choose melamine?

Some woodworkers scorn the use of melamine in home cabinetries and other home furnishings because they argue of its low quality. However, like any other wood products, have low quality and higher quality versions. High-quality melamine with thicker texture compared to the low-quality will of course, last longer.

Let’s take a look at the advantages of this amazing product:

1. Wide Options

Textured melamine opens up a lot of great options for your cabinets by giving a three-dimensional texture. It can replicate wood tones, bamboo, and other textures.

2. Durability

Melamine has superior resistance to excessive moisture, heat or stains, without loss of color.

3. A uniform finish

Unlike solid wood that can vary in grain patterns and color, textured uniform wood pattern. As such, many people prefer melamine for solid finishes as no grain shows through.

4. Low cost

Compared to other wood products, melamines offer at a much lower price point.
