They do not require edge banding as laminate is pressed on the edges to give a uniform look through out the kitchen shutter. About 200 different shades are available in the market to choose from. Post formed laminates are slightly different in the way they are manufactured as compared to conventionally produced laminates. Post forming laminates are made to allow a certain degree of bending, so as to make way for the laminate material to become flexible. On the other hand, traditionally manufactured laminates are comparatively tougher to work with as they have a greater degree of stiffness and are much greater in girth. This makes it difficult to use in certain scenarios that require higher amounts of manoeuvrability.
