Explain the 'Laminate Sheet' pasted on furniture surfaces


LAMINATE

            Laminate is a thin sheet which is pasted on plywood surfaces to improve the appearance, abrasion resistance, durability and to simplify cleaning. The thickness of these sheets, used in furniture construction, is normally 1mm or 1.5mm. However, laminates with thicknesses from 0.6 mm to 3mm are also available.
            The manufacturing process of laminate can be briefly explained as follows. Five or seven brown/craft papers duly impregnated by resin are pressed on a Pressing machine with a design paper. The design paper is a ready printed paper duly melamine coated and is on the top of the brown papers. With five brown papers 1mm thick laminate is made and with 7 papers it will be 1.5 mm thick. The pressing is hot-pressing. After the pressing, the back side of the laminated is sanded to make it a bit uneven. This uneven surface becomes a key for adhesive to hold the laminate on pasting. Then the laminate is trimmed to size and is sent to dispatch after necessary stamping.
            Following are the types of laminates.

1.     Glossy laminate
2.     Mat finish laminate
3.     Suede laminate
4.     Textured laminate
5.     Metallic laminates
6.  Supergloss/Highgloss laminate

The decorative face of the ‘Glossy Laminate’ is smooth and glossy.
The decorative face of the ‘Mat Finish Laminate’ is smooth and mat i. e. non-glossy. The surface finish of the ‘Suede Laminate’ is mat and suede i. e. with minute beaded/knurled texture. The ‘Textured Laminate’ has surface textured like python leather or some other texture depending upon the design on the sheet. ‘Metallic laminate’ has thin metal surface on the face instead of design paper. The metal could be silver, copper, bronze, gold etc. The decorative face of Supergloss laminate is more glossy than normal glossy laminate and has a better scratch resistance. Supergloss laminates are in plain colours and do not have a design or figure on them.

            The paper, on all the non-metallic laminates, has a wide range of designs which include plain colours, geometric patterns, abstract modes, stone finishes or veneer patterns. Metallic laminate will obviously have only metal colour but the finish could be glossy, mat or brush finish.

    1. Laminate can be pasted on solid wood, but it is not advisable. Timber absorbs or releases moisture depending upon the season. In rainy season, it absorbs moisture and swells. In summer, it releases moisture to the atmosphere and shrinks. Synthetic adhesive (Fevicol)dissolves in water. The surface contraction/expansion and the dissolution of adhesive may affect to peeling out the laminate from the surface.
