We buy pre laminated panels as much as possible almost always with laminate both sides.
Balanced laminate panel.
When a veneer is bonded to both sides of the panel each side is equally expanding and contracting and thus the panel is balanced the stress of the wood cell movement is similar on both sides of the panel.
If the laminates are of different thickness they will shrink at different rates pulling the panel out of flat.
Sometimes a brown backer is applied to the bottom if color is not needed.
Tfm must be applied to the front and back of the panel to keep the panel balanced.
No science that i know of but in my experience an unbalanced panel is more prone to warping than a balanced panel.
Each complete laminate is enclosed in a set of brackets symmetric laminates with an even number of plies are represented by listing all plies on one side of the mid plane enclosed in brackets followed by the subscript s.
This is produced in higher volumes than hpl.
An example of a balanced laminate is 0 45 45 90 45 45 0 whereas an unbalanced laminate would be 0 45.
If the laminate is not balanced and symmetric macro warpage will certainly occur during cool down.
Melamine paper is thermally bonded to particleboard or mdf panels.
Laminate orientation code repeating groups of plies within a laminate can be placed in parentheses.
My theory in a laminate panel all three plies laminate core laminate are moving seasonally.
Cabinet liner is better than nothing but still not truly balanced.
Here is a deeper explanation of both reasons for using a balance veneer.
