Floor covering with a surface layer consisting of one or more thin sheets of a fibrous material (usually paper), impregnated with aminoplastic, thermosetting resins (usually melamine). These sheets are either pressed as such (HPL,CPL,Compact) and in case of HPL or CPL bonded on a substrate (usually wooden-based panels) or in case of DPL directly pressed on a substrate (usually wood-based panels).
The product is usually finished with a backing (e.g. HPL, CPL, impregnated papers,veneers), primarily used as a balancing material.
