Base product is standard full birch veneer core with a phenolic resin infused paper heat pressed onto the surface. The result is a moisture resistant surface which is inseparable from the substrate.
Smooth on both sides, F/F was developed as a concrete forming panel. That remains its principal use, but it can be used in any application where strength, moisture resistance, and abration resistance is required.
Film/Wire is smooth on one side and textured on the other. It has the same strength and moisture resistance characteristics of F/F with the the added benefit of being non-slip.
In both versions the edges are factory sealed with an acrlyic sealant to minimize moisture ingress. Colour is chestnut brown. The standard film weight is 120g/m2 but wear resistance can be increased with the addition a extra layers of film to one or both sides.
Riga Mel is standard birch plywood overlaid with a melamine film.
The product is glossy and smooth, hygenic, and easy to clean. This makes it ideal for furniture components, counter tops, display units, and store fixtures.
