The resulting material is then glued to a particleboard or MDF substrate, creating a durable and affordable surface that can be customised with various colours and patterns.

So, whether you're looking for a sleek and modern look or something more traditional, a laminate benchtop from kaboodle is a stylish yet practical option for your home.
