The most popular choice in NZ for doors, is the melamine product. Some call it "Melteca" - this is the Fletchers brand name for what is technically called Low Pressure Laminate. It is very similar to High pressure laminate bench tops, but thinner and less expensive.
The melamine laminate itself is pressed onto either particle board (chipboard) or MDF. MDF is a better product because it is stronger and doesn't chip when cut. When cut, a raw edge is exposed - this is clashed (edgebanded) with a 2mm PVC.
It is popular because it is very cost effective and comes in a huge range of colours, Some matching Resene colours. The only downside to melamine is the PVC edge - it is durable and won't come off, but you can always see a line between the melamine panel and the PVC edge.
Check it out in one of our showrooms, and if it bothers you, you may need to think about an upgrade.
