Further processing

Panels can be further processed according to customer's specification with cut-to-size, CNC, drilling, milling, jointing, edge machining, assembling in sets.

Surface properties

The overlay improves panel resistance against mechanical damage and wear, whilst providing a decorative appearance. The surface resists abrasion, and commonly used chemicals, and is weather and moisture resistant. The reverse side is smooth, overlaid with resin impregnated film.

Overlaying

Overlaid with resin impregnated film, during the coating process a unique footprint pattern is hot-pressed onto the sheet surface. Depending on the application, films impregnated with unmodified or modified phenolic or melamine resins are applied.

Wear resistance

Rolling test (EN 1818) more than 10,000 cycles depending on the coating. Rolling wear is tested with a load of 300 kg. Taber test (EN 438-2) up to 10,000 revolutions depending on the coating. Dark brown 220 g/m² up to 900 revolutions. Special wear-resistant film 350 g/m² up to 10,000 revolutions.

Slip resistance

Anti-slip resistance class R10 according to DIN 51130.

Edge sealing

The edges are sealed with colour matched moisture resistant paint. Other colours are available upon request.
