What is Melamine Faced Plywood?
Melamine faced plywood skips a whole production stage on your side: the decorative paper is thermally fused to the plywood face at our press, so the panel arrives ready to cut, edge-band and assemble. There is no glue-spread step, no separate hot press, and no lamination scrap.
Huanawood offers woodgrain prints, solid colours and textured or embossed finishes on a plywood substrate with MR (E1) glue, 9–25 mm. Matching melamine edge banding can be supplied with the order so the finished cabinets look continuous.

Why buyers choose our Melamine Faced Plywood
One press, fused for good
Melamine is thermo-fused, not glued on. It will not peel at the edges the way post-laminated sheets sometimes do after years in humid kitchens.
Matched edge banding
We can supply matching melamine edge tape in the same decor, so your cabinets do not mix two batches of white.
Decor library
Send us the decor code or a physical sample and we will match it — common European woodgrain and solid colour decors are already in production.
Plywood substrate where it matters
Compared with MDF-based melamine, plywood substrate gives better screw holding in shelf pins and hinges — the recurring failure point of wardrobes.
