Abstract:
A laminated structure for forming architectural products includes an unstable wood core that has a laminate on its inner or room facing side that provides a selected interior design such as wood veneer. This laminate is secured to the core by an adhesive that limits a moisture penetration of approximately 5 gms/sq. mtr/hr. or less. Either polyurethane hotmelt or polyolefin hotmelt are useful as the adhesive. Such interior moisture barrier is combined with an outer surface that also comprises a moisture barrier such as by the above adhesives, or by a liquid coating, cladding, or a resin saturated paper overlay.
