What exactly is a laminate and is it really that durable to be used anywhere in the house like in the kitchen?

I want to know about laminates.

Laminate is a artificial multi-layered material which is made by pressing thin layers of plastic resins and flat papers. The top layer is then printed with colours and made into decorative patterns. They are not just cost-effective, but are also said to be stable, durable, and easy to install!

Laminates are great for kitchens, especially the cabinetry! Wood textured laminates are cost effective and gives the feel of real wood.

If you want a kitchen with excellent finish and a durable surface, you can go for timber textured laminates.

Colored laminates will add that voulme to your kitchen. The current trend is using matte black and millenial pink, but you can also opt for coral!

A light blossom shade with grey will also look good in the kitchen. Pink laminates can be used on cabinet fronts, shelves, backsplash, and also on countertops.

The next part would be to select a varnish for the kitchen laminate. You can go for a satin sheen which is a semi-matte coating but you can also get a glossy finish or a complete matte finish. You can choose a varnish based on personal choice. Key is to balance between colours, textures, finish and durability.
