The veneer on the surface of the finished product has a very realistic feel and look of real wood, and is very classy.

The difference between the veneer and the veneer panel.

The difference between the two is the different materials used. The raw material used for veneer is more abundant than that of KD. It uses wood, stone, metal, etc. cut into thin slices. In the production process, the veneer is bonded and pressed, so the treatment between the two types of panels is also different. There is also a difference in price between the two. Generally, KD board is more expensive and more suitable for consumers of high-end decoration.

2. Characteristics of KD board
