Laminates are quickly taking up the interior decor industry by storm. They are the top choice when it comes to tabletops or dining tables, among other furniture tops, as they lend a sophisticated finish to them.
Therefore, if you are choosing laminates for your dining table, keep in mind the size and décor theme to match it perfectly. With a variety of options to choose from with regards to colour, pattern and properties, laminates come in different ranges – antibacterial, anti-fingerprint, exterior and many more.

Wooden finish laminates
Generally, solid wood dining tables are very costly. Wood-finish laminates will do the job of not only giving a natural wooden look to your dining table but also protect the core material and add to its strength. They are relatively easier to clean than solid wood at just a fraction of the cost.

These laminates have a hand-made core and bears the property of being waterproof and tough. They give an appearance of a thick top but otherwise, these tops are quite sleek in size and appearance. Usually, edges of such tabletops are either straight, round or comes with an even more sleek appearance.
