Ideal Applications

Melamine decorative panels consist of melamine resin saturated decorative papers, thermally fused under heat and pressure to a substrate of particleboard, or MDF (medium density fiberboard). The Thermally Fused Melamine (TFM) process permanently bonds the paper and the board; there is NO GLUE LINE to delaminate. The panels resists warping, bowing, scratches, stains, heat, steam, burnishing, abrasion, chip-out and damage due to excessive wear. Melamine Decorative Panels perform like high pressure laminate at a fraction of the cost.

Ideal Applications:

COMMERCIAL
All green programs
LEED™ Projects

RESIDENTIAL
KCMA ESP program
