Melamine
When people say laminate kitchen, in most cases it is really Melamine. Melamine is the colour part of the laminate. It is laid up on a board so it can be cut to any size and edged to make doors and panels. Companies like Laminex Industries Polytech & Wilsonart make laid up board so factories can streamline production and keep the finished costs down. Melamine is the least expensive finish and is hardy.
