Norwegian term or phrase: direktelaminat
direktelaminat

• Fronter: Åpne reoler, slagdører, vitrine, skyvedører, sjalusier, skuffer.
• Stamme i bjørk og bøk natur, beiset bøk, lakk eller direktelaminat.
• Rygg i beiset finer, direktelaminat eller lakkert.
• Fronter i bjørk og bøk natur, beiset bøk, direktelaminat, lakkert eller glass.

As far as I can see from comparing the client's English and Norwegian web pages, this is the same as MFC
(Melamine Faced Chipboard).

However, I've had a lot of trouble with Trados and am getting panicky about my deadline! So I haven't got time to check, and can't find it anywhere else.

I would be enormously grateful if anyone could confirm that direktelaminat is MFC, or tell me what it is called if not MFC...
Thanks for any help!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Was not terribly convinced by some of these - the expression is often a business name, or there is a comma between 'direct' and 'laminate'. But I can see there is something called direct laminate. @ NO-EN-DE: I was looking for cupboards and shelves, not flooring...
