7. Synchronous pattern. The first image shows a normal fire-retardant laminate, and the second picture shows a synchronous pattern fire-retardant laminate. The former one is pressed with different wood grain and versatile concave-convex steel plates to give it a natural texture. The concave and convex of the latter steel plate are all carved according to the texture of the colored paper. The steel surface is synchronized with the pattern, and it has a similar natural texture of the wood. The appearance of the synchronous pattern laminate is to make up for the lack of veneer. Since the veneer is natural, each color is different, and there is a sense of inconsistency when used. The synchronous surface makes up for this shortcoming. The color is more consistent and harmonious. In addition to the simulated wood grain pit pattern, it is more durable and cheaper.
Magnetic, the surface can be used as whiteboard and blackboard
In addition to the techniques mentioned above, another series of Germantops is magnetic laminate. There is a piece of iron in the magnetic laminate, which is an ideal choice of people who like to put decorative magnets on furniture and walls.
