How it's made
- TFL is created by taking a printed or solid-color decorative paper that has been impregnated with melamine resin.
- This paper is then fused directly onto a particleboard core using heat and pressure.
- Unlike High Pressure Laminate (HPL), there's no separate glue line - the resin in the paper bonds to the board itself during the fusing process.
Key Properties
- Durable Surface: Resistant to scratches, stains, and fading, making it suitable for heavy-use environments like schools, healthcare facilities, and offices.
- Cost-Effective: Typically more affordable than HPL, since it's produced in large sheets and doesn't require a separate adhesive step.
- Consistent Appearance: Offers uniform color and pattern across large runs, which is helpful for commercial projects.
- Design Variety: Available in wood grains, solid colors, and textures that mimic natural materials.
Common Uses
- Commercial casework and cabinets
- Locker systems
- Workstations and desks
- Shelving
- Interior wall panels
Think of TFL As ...
a "ready-to-use" board where the decorative surface is already built in, making it job-site efficient and installer-friendly.
