Paul Wilkinson replied to Alex Lancashire's discussion To Twitter or not to Twitter?

MgO boards bonded with vinyl membranes

Dear All, Our factory makes MgO board based lamination products. We can glue membranes or acrylic sheets to MgO boards to make them into high quality decorative boards. They are better than HDF and MDF laminations as MgO boards are fire resistent and work well in water. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me. Best regards, Sam See More
