2. The second option is DPL. Also used is glassine impregnated with melamine resin and aluminum oxide, but there are differences in the manufacturing process of the laminated board: in this case, the top layer is pressed together with the HDF panel and the stabilizing layer.

• Decorative ball. It is a drawing on paper, in most cases - this is the annual rings of wood.Some specimens copy the appearance of the stone. Baked simultaneously with the top ball.
• Base ball. HDF board is used, which provides the main properties of the laminate: resistance to mechanical damage, as well as the negative effects of moisture.
