Double-layered; having two layers.

How it's used
Primarily used as a modifier to describe objects with two distinct levels or layers. It is most commonly associated with transport and food, specifically vehicles and stacked food items. Unlike other adjectives, it does not typically take a degree adverb like 好 before it unless it is part of a specific noun phrase.
Examples
Do you like eating double cheeseburgers?
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe things that are just thick or have two sides, as it specifically refers to a stacked or tiered structure. For general thickness, use 厚 instead.
