Yes, TFL (thermally fused laminate) and melamine are the same product. Though still in use, the melamine name is more closely associated with early generations of this product that had a generic feel and limited palette. TFL has emerged as the preferred term for modern TFL panels, which often feature textured finishes that enhance hyper-realistic designs. This allows TFL to be virtually identical to traditional wood products and other construction materials at a lower price point and a better-than-carbon-neutral footprint.
