Description
Riga Smooth Mesh is a durable panel for demanding applications; it can be used anywhere a heavy-duty, high wear-resistant and decorative appearance is required.
Features and benefits:
- Decorative finish with smooth, visually attractive surface
- Durable and heavy-duty with high wear resistance.
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
- Weather resistant gluing and water resistant surface.
- Surface is resistant to commonly used chemicals and surface impact, easy to clean for repeated uses.
- Sustainable product with long life span.
Further processing
Riga Smooth Mesh can be further processed according to customer's specification with cut-to-size, CNC, drilling, milling, jointing, edge machining, and assembling in sets.
Surface properties
The wire mesh overlay improves panel resistance against mechanical damage and wear. It resists abrasion, and commonly used chemicals and is weather and moisture resistant. Depending on the film used (modified phenolic or melamine), abrasion, crack, UV resistance and other properties can be significantly improved. Riga Wood experts will advise the most appropriate overlay depending on the end use.
Overlaying
Overlaid with resin impregnated film, which is hot-pressed onto the panel surface, using a wire net. Depending on the application, films impregnated with modified phenolic or melamine resins can be applied. Face: smooth wire mesh pattern Reverse: smooth film, and, if specified, both sides can be covered with a wire mesh pattern.
Wire mesh pattern availability:
- Small Mesh - 4.5 mesh per 1 cm
- Large Mesh - 2.5 mesh per 1 cm
To enhance performance and appearance it is possible to use multilayer films.
Wear resistance
Taber test (EN 438-2) up to 2,500 revolutions depending on the coating.
- Dark brown 120 g/m² up to 400 revolutions
- Dark brown 220 g/m² up to 900 revolutions
- Dark brown 440 g/m² up to 2,500 revolutions.
Edge sealing
The edges are sealed with colour matched moisture resistant paint. Other colours are available upon request.
