How To Tell The Difference Between Veneer And Laminate?

Veneer and laminate have become the most popular finishes for different types of furniture and cabinets. The main difference is that veneer consists of thin layers of wood that are pressed onto a plywood substrate, while laminate is made by laminating flat paper and plastic resin together under high pressure. These materials are adhered to a plywood, MDF or particle board substrate to give the furniture a perfect look. Confused between veneer or laminate? We help you.

Design of Laminates

Laminates are available in a variety of colors, designs and finishes. One of the biggest advantages is that these enhance the look and feel of natural materials such as stone, wood, leather, natural silk, etc. Some of the newest laminate varieties are also available in flame retardant and antibacterial finishes.

Veneer Versus Laminate: Environmentally

Since these are made from renewable resources, veneer is sustainable. However, laminates contain plastics and resins that will end up in landfills over time.
