Plastic laminate is typically used for countertops, tables, vanities, interior doors, cabinets, contact furniture and retail store fixtures. Made up of stacked paper saturated with resins and pressed under heat, laminate is a very durable, stain resistant surface. Laminate surfaces come in a very wide variety of colors and patterns, as well as different finishes to customize the product to your specific needs. It is important to consider the type of use the surface will receive as well as texture, color and reflective values before selecting the surface material. Different textured surfaces have different advantages depending on use.
