Definition of Melamine

Melamine is a type of laminate flooring that's made by saturating layers of paper with melamine resin through thermal fusion.

Melamine panels are then attached to a particle board. Melamine laminate flooring is desirable for various reasons:

• The end result resembles natural wood in terms of color, texture, and patterns.
• It’s affordable and durable.
• It’s water, scratch, stain, and shatter resistant.
• It’s perfect for use in high-traffic areas.
• The board can be cut into tiles that are installed using grout like any other type of tile.
