Both laminate and wood veneer are popular wardrobe design choices as both look good in any home design style. Here, we check out their advantages and disadvantages to help you figure out which would be a better fit for your home
In the 17th century, wardrobes were made of real wood; they were huge and took up space. Gradually, wardrobes became less bulky, slimmer and more streamlined and the modern wardrobe comes in chic and sophisticated designs with stunning wood veneer and laminate finishes.
Both laminate and wood veneer are good choices for a wardrobe as both can quite easily be incorporated into any kind of home design, contemporary or traditional. Here is an overview, with advantages and disadvantages, to help you figure out which would be a better fit for your home.
Veneers consist of thin sheets of wood that have been peeled off wood blocks with a slicing machine. Multiple layers of these sheets are glued together or a single layer can be glued on top of engineered wood for a wardrobe design.
Laminate is a decorative finish that is formed by bonding multiple layers of thin sheets of engineered wood with resins and then compressing it under heat. Matte, semi-gloss and glossy laminates for wardrobes are available in gorgeous designs, like floral laminates for wardrobes or abstract designs that can give a sense of refinement to furniture.
Both wood veneers and laminates are quite strong, durable and resilient, but laminate cupboard doors are more resistant to scratches and stains. Wood veneers might require more maintenance and care than laminates.
Laminate sliding wardrobe doors are a great choice for wardrobes as they are affordable, durable and the best laminates for wardrobes come in amazing colours and designs. Laminates can be broadly classified into textured, high gloss, soft and matte. There are also textured laminates that can replicate the feel of materials, like wood or stone.
Wood veneer has a thin layer of real wood as the top sheet and is therefore more expensive than laminate. But, in truth, the veneer versus laminate cost difference may sometimes depend on the raw materials used during manufacture and the actual process of making the sheets.
Grain patterns are one way to differentiate between wood veneer and laminate, as wood veneer will have unique grain patterns. But with the beautiful laminate finishes that are available these days, it can be tough for a layman to spot the difference.
