ADVANTAGES OF USING MELAMINE COATED PLYWOOD
When determining whether melamine-coated plywood is ideal for your application, consider the following advantages:
- Durability. Melamine is a highly durable material that’s resistant to scratching, staining, and water. It’s also easy to clean!
- Perfect finish. Melamine plywood comes in many textures and natural wood grains. It’s also cost-effective and offers a multipurpose option for adding finishes, color, and texture to different types of projects and designs.
- Budget-friendly. This material is budget-friendly without any compromise in durability and overall quality. You can save time and money during application due to the lack of need for finishing and sanding.
- Aesthetic. People often prefer melamine plywood’s lack of wood grain when looking for solid-colored cabinets and other surfaces. Melamine plywood can come prefinished in a variety of colors to suit different aesthetic requirements.
- Easy to cut. Using the right equipment, you can easily cut melamine. A saw with CNC routers and scoring units can prevent chipping; however, it’s important to support the material while cutting to keep it from breaking.
Laminated countertops such as Formica surfaces use melamine. Unlike other woods, melamine plywood provides a smooth surface that’s easy to clean while reducing construction waste and eliminating the need for staining or painting. This plywood often features sustainable wood construction, with manufacturers using moisture-resistant products to glue the wood pieces together.
