Laminate - a universal material

There is a large number of universal materials that are used in various industries. This category includes laminate. He is actively used in furniture and construction. It has a lot of merits, which in many ways determined its popularity.

What is laminate hardboard? Material properties

Under the organolite is understood the sheet material, which is produced by the technology of hot pressing of wood fibers. They are made from various woodworking wastes, such as sawdust, shavings, chips. Also in the composition of this material are special astringent additives, which significantly improve the physical and mechanical properties of the wood-fiber board.

The surface of the fiberboard is rough. Such plates are called still unregulated. They are usually used in rough finishes. Laminated hardboard is a fiberboard, at least one side of which is covered with a special protective layer. Such an orgalith is called ennobled. On the front side of such material can also be applied a decorative pattern.

Laminated laminate has the following advantages:

• Durability. The service life of the material exceeds 20 years.
• Resistance to mechanical influences. This material is not so easy to break. Of course, it all depends on the thickness of the material. In addition, the quality laminate coating is resistant to various scratches.
• Fire resistance. The presence of various modifying additives provides a poor ignition of the material.
• Moisture resistance. This indicator is very important. It means that the laminate coating can be cleaned with a wet cleaning. This greatly simplifies the care for him.

Application of laminate

As mentioned before, laminate board is a universal material. It is actively used in the manufacture of furniture. From it do walls of cabinet furniture, as well as the bottom of the boxes. Also, this material is widely used in the manufacture of interior doors.

In the construction of laminated board also has wide application. They are lining the walls and ceiling. In some cases, it is even put on the floor. Laminated hardboard "under the tile" is often mounted in the kitchen. This is due to the fact that outwardly such a decorative coating looks decent and at first glance it is not always clear that the wall is sheathed with sheet material and not faced with real ceramics. And, most importantly, a laminate coating can be washed. And in a room like a kitchen, the possibility of wet cleaning of walls is vital.

The use of this material in construction has largely determined the ease of its installation. Walls or ceilings need not be previously leveled. It should be made only crate. And then a sheet of hardboard is attached to it, which covers a large surface area.

The cost of the material also has an impact on its ubiquitous use. On laminated hardboard, the price depends on many indicators. This is the thickness of the product, and the presence or absence of a decorative pattern, and the content in it of various additives that improve performance. So, hardboard laminated with applied decoration and dimensions 3.2 x 2745x1700 mm is about 380 rubles.
