The Advantages of HON® Laminate Casegoods

WHY LAMINATE?
Laminate is composed of multiple layers of paper saturated with resin, and finished with a printed surface. (In recent years, the quality of printing has become so good that it is occasionally hard to distinguish laminate from real wood.) These layers are pressed together under high heat and pressure, creating a solid, solvent and abrasion-resistant material.

HON laminate desks use quality ANSI-graded particleboard. The undersides of our laminate worksurfaces are finished, or protected by a moisture-resistant "backer sheet" to resist warping.

FACTS REGARDING LAMINATE:

• Laminate is the most durable material available for worksurfaces and requires little maintenance.
• It is highly resistant to dents and scratches.
• Laminate has a more consistent color and grain than veneer, making it suitable for settings where multiple desks will be placed side by side.
• Laminate is easy to clean and is excellent for high activity areas.
• Laminate has a look that approaches veneer, at a fraction of the price.
