What Is a Laminate Benchtop?
Laminate benchtops are made by compressing layers of high-pressure laminate (HPL), decorative paper, and a moisture-resistant core—typically MDF or particleboard. The result is a durable, non-porous surface that mimics natural materials while offering easy maintenance and great affordability.
