Laminate for Education Environments
Combining form and function, our laminate collections offer stylish and durable surfaces for a whole host of applications, suitable for education buildings and student accommodation.
Benefits of laminate
- Perfect solution for education furniture, doors, walls, washrooms and lockers in nurseries, schools, colleges and universities.
- The versatility of laminate allows a colour or pattern to be co-ordinated across multiple surfaces. Within education buildings, this could be to incorporate a school brand colour or to zone departments or classrooms.
- Formica® laminates are available in an array of different colours, woods and patterns to suit any scheme. Thin laminates can be bonded to a substrate, to create wall panelling, desks or postformed to create curved or rounded furniture elements.
- The hygienic, low maintenance and long-lasting properties of Formica laminates, make them a favoured choice in education environments.
