We all love our furniture, don’t we? When we go furniture shopping, the first thing that we ask for is the material. Every material comes with its pros and cons.
Laminate furniture is becoming one popular choice these days. Furniture with laminate sheets is not actually wood. It is made by pressing together multiple layers of flat paper and plastic resins. The wood grain appearance is due to a printed process.
Laminates can bear heat and scratches, and look new and shiny even after long usage. So when it comes to buying or designing your own furniture in the busy areas of your home, people prefer laminates over any other materials.
Let us see the pros of laminate furniture:
Affordable: If you are tight on budget, laminates is the best option for your furniture. It costs almost a quarter of veneer and solid wood.
Durable: Laminates are strong and durable and have a very long life.
Easy to maintain: You do not need to colour, refinish or polish them regularly.
Easy to clean: The surface of laminate sheets is shiny and is easy to clean. You can clean it with a wet cloth and soap water.
Variety: Laminates come in a variety of colour, texture and finish. Solid wood is more or less of the same appearance and colour.
You can also paint your laminate furniture. Always clean the laminate surface first and then lightly sand it. Apply the primer and let it dry. Paint it with your choice of colour. For a professional finish, lightly sand in between each coat with a fine sand paper.
