Description

Riga Superwire is a durable panel, designed for technically demanding applications, where high wear resistance and good anti-slip properties are required.


Features and benefits:

  • Decorative finish with smooth, visually attractive surface.
  • Highly wear resistant and anti-slip surface ensuring safety underfoot.
  • 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.
  • Sustainable product with long life span.


Further processing

Riga Superwire 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 superwire 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.
