Have you ever wanted to incorporate wooden elements into your home, but you’re concerned about the cost? Well, you’re in luck because there’s a better alternative for natural timber – wood grain laminates.

Thanks to modern manufacturing technology, wood grain laminate is produced to mimic the texture, colour, and grain pattern of natural timber at a considerably cheaper cost. As a result, wood grain laminates have been a major decorative element in residential and commercial projects. From wall panels to kitchen furniture and more.

You see, like any other laminates, wood grain laminates are made of a composite material consisting of sheets of paper with decorative wood grain paper on the outer layer. These layers are then pressed together with thermosetting resins and subjected to high pressure and temperature.

When the laminates are subjected to such manufacturing condition, it results in a surfacing material that is highly durable and resistant against impacts, making it suitable for use in various spaces like the living room and kitchen.

Affordability and Availability of Woodgrain Laminate

Like any other natural materials, real wood can be expensive and hard to procure. Even if you procure one at a reasonable cost, you have little to no guarantee about the wood quality. On top of that, you also have to find ways to process the wood into your desired product.

Wood grain laminates, on the other hand, costs less than real wood thanks to the latest advancements in design and manufacturing technology. In other words, you can have wood-like surfaces fabricated in the form of laminates and installed in your home or office at a fraction of the cost, saving some of your budget for other things.

• Crown woodgrain laminates build on a knotted wood design by creating long and thin crown rings around the knot or “eye”.
• Half-crown woodgrain laminates are like crown design in every way except that it is cut vertically in the middle along with the ripple, leaving only half of the long, thin crown rings.
• Bold woodgrain laminates flaunt the grain pattern to capture people’s attention with their thick and distinctive lines of varying wood shades.
• Plank woodgrain laminates create their looks by putting together strips of wood. Their versatility allows them to create different looks simply by varying the size, placements, and colours of wood strips.
• Straight woodgrain laminates are not exactly straight. The lines are a little curvy to break the monotony of its pure wood design with no knots or crown.
• Yoko woodgrain laminates have a horizontal woodgrain design. This helps to reduce design headaches by allowing for horizontal designs on long vertical pieces without the ugly joint lines.
