Duramar Interior Surfaces is a specialty building materials manufacturer based in Irvine, California. We produce TFL (Thermally Fused Laminate), acrylic, and polymer laminate surface panels for residential, commercial, hospitality, and healthcare applications. Duramar is the only TFL and polymer laminate panel manufacturer in Southern California.

Duramar manufactures two main product families: DuraDECOR, a TFL (Thermally Fused Laminate) melamine wood line ideal for furniture, cabinetry, and architectural woodwork; and DuraLUX, a polymer laminate line including acrylic and PET panels with high-gloss, matte, and anti-fingerprint finishes. All products are designed for interior vertical and horizontal applications.

TFL, or Thermally Fused Laminate, is a decorative surface material made by fusing a resin-saturated paper to a composite wood substrate under heat and pressure. The result is a durable, scratch-resistant panel used in furniture, cabinetry, millwork, and architectural woodwork. TFL is CARB-compliant, NAF (No Added Formaldehyde) certified, and meets LEED v5 criteria for low-emitting materials.

For commercial interiors, TFL (Thermally Fused Laminate) panels are the preferred specification for cabinetry, casework, shelving, and wall applications. Duramar’s DuraDECOR TFL line offers coordinated décors across solid colors and woodgrains, making it ideal for matched casework and wall panels in offices, healthcare facilities, and hospitality environments. For high-traffic horizontal surfaces, DuraLUX acrylic and PET laminates provide superior scratch and chemical resistance.

Yes. Duramar products meet LEED v5 requirements including MRp2 (Embodied Carbon prerequisite), MRc4 (Low-Emitting Materials), and FSC chain-of-custody criteria. Our composite wood core materials are CARB Phase 2 compliant and NAF (No Added Formaldehyde) certified, making Duramar an appropriate specification choice for LEED-pursuing commercial and institutional projects.

Yes. Duramar offers an AIA CES-approved course titled ‘Designing with TFL: Performance, Design Method & HSW,’ which provides 1 LU HSW credit. Course Code DUR001, Provider ID 10151751, approved through May 6, 2029. The course is available for architecture and design firms seeking continuing education on sustainable and compliant surface materials.

For healthcare and medical interiors, Duramar offers two surface families designed for demanding environments. DuraDECOR TFL provides a hygienic, scratch-resistant melamine surface for furniture and cabinetry. DuraLUX polymer laminates are produced in cleanroom facilities and offer high chemical and stain resistance, making them suitable for laboratory, clinical, and medical center applications where ease of cleaning and material safety are critical.

Designers typically choose laminate panels over paint, tile, or natural wood for wall and casework applications when durability, design consistency, and budget efficiency are priorities. TFL panels offer realistic woodgrain and solid color options with scratch resistance and moisture stability at a lower cost than solid wood or HPL. Polymer laminates like DuraLUX acrylic are chosen when a high-gloss, contemporary finish is required. Both options are available in coordinated collections, allowing designers to specify matching horizontal and vertical surfaces across an entire project.
