The benefits of working with decorative melamine
As we outline on our product page for decorative melamine, these unique wood panel products are manufactured using formaldehyde resin. As the formaldehyde resin is set using a heat treatment process, decorative melamine is effectively manufactured to resist excessive heat, as well as moisture and stains.
This makes decorative melamine a highly suitable material for constructing wall panelling, joinery, and even storage and work surfaces in areas that are likely to experience a higher than average moisture content. Yes, this includes kitchen, bathroom and laundry spaces around the home.
Another major benefit of melamine boards is their superior strength and durability in comparison to other wood products. Their resin construction ensures that melamine boards are incredibly dense, with exceptional screw-holding properties. This makes melamine easier to work with than other less dense and durable wood materials – even despite being similarly priced.
Finally, one of the most prominent benefits for many of our clients and customers here at Cabinet Timbers is simply that our range of COLOURpyne® decorative melamine boards is actually quite substantial, offering an expansive selection of colours and surface finishes (we offer gloss, decor, natural wood grain, and velvet)
So to recap, here are the key benefits of working with decorative melamine:
- Cost-effective
- Heat- and moisture-resistant
- Dense material built for superior durability
- Great screw-holding properties
- Available in a range of colours and textures
