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.
