3 Advantages of Melamine Board

Melamine boards are materials commonly used nowadays in the construction of various modern furniture such as tables, chairs, shelves, desks, etc. However, many people are not yet familiar with melamine boards. Melamine is a type of synthetic wood. Although it resembles a particle board, melamine is much stronger and is produced in a different way. Here, we will be showcasing three advantages one gets when using this type of board.  

  • Low-maintenance

Melamine's look is adaptable and can be adapted to any décor. Melamine's outside surfaces are covered with a laminate that may be utilized to match it to any kitchen design, including some laminates that look like wood grain. Melamine boards are also reliable which makes it generally easy to clean them and eliminate various stains. One may use a duster, or vacuum to get rid of any debris on the surface of the boards. A wet cloth may also be used to wipe away any dust. Lastly, cleaning melamine boards does not have to be done often. Once a month may suffice just in order to ensure that dust accumulation is minimized as much as possible. Melamine boards are also waterproof which makes them ideal in the kitchen or the dining area where lots of spillages may occur.

  • Durable

Melamine's utilization and market appeal have grown due to the advancements made to its general design. Many homeowners today opt for melamine cabinetry instead of hardwood because they are worried about the sustainability of natural resources. Aside from that, melamine is a strong kind of resin that is frequently used in the production of hardwood products like plywood and MDF. Adding formaldehyde to melamine can also turn it into plastic. Additionally, a laminate is created when the plastic is combined with the paper base which can be used as a covering for other bases.

  • Lightweight

Melamine boards are also fairly lightweight which makes it easy to use them in constructing other objects such as furniture. When working with lightweight materials such as melamine boards, changes and customization in design become much more feasible since melamine can be easily cut with the correct tools and machinery. This, then, reduces the transportation and handling costs for the materials and minimizes the overall speed of completing the projects. This makes these boards cost-efficient. 

Overall, products made out of manufactured wood, such as melamine boards, offer a more consistent, stable raw material for various types of construction. It is also important to take into account the cost difference when using manufactured wood and premium wood. The use of premium wood on certain pieces often goes unnoticed and the use of manufactured wood often makes the pieces look just as beautiful.
