RE: Is formica the same as laminate? By johnnyg (7) Contact Formica is to laminate what Kleenex is to tissue. Formica is the most well known of the laminates. There are several brand names, however they all serve the same purpose. Posted on 09/24/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is formica the same as laminate?

Laminates can mean, and is used to talk about, a whole range of products, formica, plastic, wood, metal, etc. Formica is a heat resistant, wipe-clean, plastic laminate of paper or fabric with melamine resin.

Many times people will use the term interchangeably when talking about laminate countertops, etc. It is kind of unfortunate for them, as I think they actually produce a number of other products as well. :D (I don't work for them but, if you want to check out thier product offerings, I'd suggest visiting thier website.) http://www.formica.com/ Posted on 04/18/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is formica the same as laminate? By Gladys Baker (Guest Post) Formica is a company that has been putting out laminate for years. I believe they have registered the trade mark .. etc. To answer your, yes, most people will use the two terms interchangeably. Posted on 04/18/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
