Panels of Laminates
Laminate panel is a type of
manufactured timber made from thin sheets of substrates or wood veneer. It is
similar to the more widely used plywood, except that it has a plastic,
protective layer on one or both sides. Laminate panels are used instead of
plywood because of their resistance to impact, weather, moisture, shattering in
cold (ductility), and chemicals.
Laminate panel layers (called
veneers) are glued together with adjacent plies having their grain at right
angles to each other for greater strength. The plastic layer(s) added for
protection vary in composition, thickness, color and texture according to the
application.
