What is laminate, how is it fabricated into countertops?
The best known brand name of laminate is FORMICA brand laminate, however, at P.F. Manufacturing we also source Arborite, Nevamar, Wilsonart and Pionite brand laminates. Laminates have been around for the better part of 30 years now, and consist of several layers of heated and compressed paper with melamine resin. The top layer is what we see as the color or pattern that becomes your countertop. Today’s variety of laminate patterns and colors number in the hundreds and even thousands between our five brands offered.
