What is Melamine or Decorative Panels?
If you’ve ever read the description of our products, for sure you ran across the terms “decorative panel” or “melamine”. They are widely used for the furniture description. That’s why it would be our pleasure to explain in a simple way what these panels are, their properties and application.
The melamine refers to a type of wood which does not derive directly from a trunk of a tree, but it is a result of particular manufacturing process which starts from taking wood chips recycled from the lumber industry and then compressing them. This board then is coated with melamine faces on both sides (a decorative paper impregnated with melamine resin).
The Melamine faced chipboard demonstrates particularly good qualities which make it a very requested material for the furniture industry. It is very durable and highly scratch-resistant, it is also waterproof, hard to stain and therefore easy to clean. Being basically a blend of recycled chipboard, the melamine faced chipboard is also lighter than solid wood and is produced and sold in the form of panels.
