Process for the production of a laminate, wherein the process comprises the following steps: • provision of a large-format sheet made of a wood-plastics-composite material with an upper side and an underside, • application of a decorative layer to at least the upper side of the large-format sheet and • pressing with exposure to pressure and heat to form a laminate, wherein the sheet of wood-plastics-composite material is produced by a process which comprises the following steps: - intimate mixing of wood particles and plastic in a mixer; - application of a mixture of wood particles and plastic to a first conveyor belt to form a primary web and introduction of the primary web into at least one first heat-conditioning oven for compaction; - cooling of, and further operations on, the precompacted web after it leaves the heat-conditioning oven; - transfer of the heat compacted web into at least one twin-belt press for further compaction to give a sheet of wood-plastics-composite material; and - cooling of the compacted sheet of wood-plastics-composite material in at least one cooling press, wherein the wood particles used are wood chips, wood fibres or wood flour; the envelope density of the sheet of wood-plastics-composite material after leaving the cooling press is in the range from 500 to 1500 kg/m 3; and the thickness of the large-format sheet is from 4 to 10 mm, preferably from 4.5 to 5.5 mm. • provision of a large-format sheet made of a wood-plastics-composite material with an upper side and an underside, • application of a decorative layer to at least the upper side of the large-format sheet and • pressing with exposure to pressure and heat to form a laminate, wherein the sheet of wood-plastics-composite material is produced by a process which comprises the following steps: - intimate mixing of wood particles and plastic in a mixer; - application of a mixture of wood particles and plastic to a first conveyor belt to form a primary web and introduction of the primary web into at least one first heat-conditioning oven for compaction; - cooling of, and further operations on, the precompacted web after it leaves the heat-conditioning oven; - transfer of the heat compacted web into at least one twin-belt press for further compaction to give a sheet of wood-plastics-composite material; and - cooling of the compacted sheet of wood-plastics-composite material in at least one cooling press, wherein the wood particles used are wood chips, wood fibres or wood flour; the envelope density of the sheet of wood-plastics-composite material after leaving the cooling press is in the range from 500 to 1500 kg/m 3; and the thickness of the large-format sheet is from 4 to 10 mm, preferably from 4.5 to 5.5 mm. - intimate mixing of wood particles and plastic in a mixer; - application of a mixture of wood particles and plastic to a first conveyor belt to form a primary web and introduction of the primary web into at least one first heat-conditioning oven for compaction; - cooling of, and further operations on, the precompacted web after it leaves the heat-conditioning oven; - transfer of the heat compacted web into at least one twin-belt press for further compaction to give a sheet of wood-plastics-composite material; and - cooling of the compacted sheet of wood-plastics-composite material in at least one cooling press,
