A thin transparent plastic sheet (coating) applied to usually a thick stock (covers, post cards, etc ) providing protection against liquid and heavy use, and usually accents existing color, providing a glossy (or lens) effect
(verb) To cover with one or more thin layers; to make by building up in layers (noun) A thin layer or layers over a sub base of material The layers may be made up of any variety of materials, but in cabinetry is usually melamine, plastic laminate (either high pressure or low pressure), or foil applied by a thermal process
When referring to wood, to build up or construct an item with two or more thinner pieces When referring to cabinet tops, etc , to glue Formica or other material to a backer When referring to veneer, applying the veneer strip to a backer
A process by which different materials are layered and then bonded together using adhesion The end result may be the creation of a substrate -- such as medium-density overlay (MDO) -- or the protection of the underlying surface, as when a clear, plastic film is laminated to a decorated surface
A laminate is a tough material that is made by sticking together two or more layers of a particular substance. laminated material (laminate (17-21 centuries))
A composite construction of dissimilar materials, such as a metal and plastic film, usually made up as sheet product and intended to function as though it were a single material
{f} separate into layers; flatten into a thin sheet (of metal); make by bonding together thin layers; coat with a thin layer of plastic (or wood, etc.)
Describes a material made of several layers bound together (and also the process of making that material) In wood panels three or more layers are laid with each layer's grain direction alternating, for strength and durability
(Verb ) To build up to a desired shape or thickness (Noun) A material composed of successive layers of material, usually bonded together under heat and pressure
a sheet of material made by bonding two or more sheets or layers split (wood) into thin sheets cover with a thin sheet; "laminate the table" press or beat (metals) into thin sheets create laminate by putting together several thin sheets of a material
The process of lamination applies a surface material over a core substrate The most common laminations are "High Pressure Plastic" material or wood veneer material applied over a particle board substrate core material or a plywood substrate core material
(verb) to build up to desired shape or thickness (noun) a material composed of successive layers of material, usually bonded together under heat and pressure
A thin layer or layers over a sub-base of material The layers may be made up of any variety of materials, but is usually melamine or plastic laminate (either high pressure or low pressure)
(1) the act of adhere a film to a surface by hand or mechanical means to form a single multi-layer sheet; (2) a web or sheet material formed by bonding materials together
A thin plastic materiel used to cover a board The most common use of laminate is for counter and table tops It is often referred to by the brand name Formica
Laminated fabrics are made of two or more plies fused together under a combination of heat, pressure, and adhesives Welblon, Herculite and Lam-A-Lite are examples of laminated fabrics
