Decorative Panels Lamination has developed a substrate designed to meet the evolving demands of modern manufacturing across a variety of industries—including furniture, mobile leisure, exhibition, marine, commercial, and architectural sectors.
dp-lite is a lightweight, high-performance “sandwich” board that delivers outstanding benefits in both cost-efficiency and sustainability.
Significant Weight Savings
dp-lite offers up to 60% weight reduction compared to traditional chipboard, allowing manufacturers to cut down on material costs and simplify handling during production and transportation. Whether you’re designing furniture, creating mobile leisure products, or crafting exhibition displays, dp-lite ensures that the end product is lighter and easier to manage without sacrificing structural integrity.
Superior Strength with Honeycomb Core
The innovative honeycomb core of dp-lite provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, giving your products added durability while keeping a lightweight profile. This makes dp-lite an ideal material for industries where both strength and weight are critical factors, such as in marine, architectural, and commercial applications.
Easy Processing
dp-lite is designed for ease of onward processing, offering versatility in cutting, drilling, and shaping, reducing production time and costs. Its reliable performance during post-processing ensures that manufacturers can achieve high-quality finishes with less effort, making it a practical choice for both mass production and bespoke designs.
Sustainability
The construction of dp-lite uses less wood-based raw material compared to traditional substrates, resulting in a reduced environmental impact. By choosing dp-lite, manufacturers can reduce their carbon footprint while still delivering high-quality, functional products.
Versatile Applications
dp-lite is highly versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of applications:
- Furniture: Lightweight, durable, and easy to process — perfect for modern, high-performance furniture designs.
- Mobile Leisure: Ideal for caravans, RVs, and other mobile applications where weight-saving and strength are paramount.
- Exhibition: Easy to handle and transport, yet strong enough to withstand the rigors of temporary displays.
- Marine: Resistant to the tough conditions of the marine environment while keeping the weight down.
- Commercial & Architectural: Provides structural strength with a lighter profile, perfect for modern office spaces, retail environments, and architectural features.
