The panels are fabricated and glued in the same manner and on the same substrates as conventional laminates. In addition, we would like to add the following comments:
Handling
Handle carefully, the wood veneer may split, if handled incorrectly.
Substrates
When using 0.8 mm thick panels, it is imperative to bond a perfectly flat substrate.
Hot press bonding:Do not exceed 70°C.
Balancing
We strongly advise against using conventional type laminates for this purpose, the two materials being subject to differing expansion coefficients . For instance, doors may be backed both sides with Brut d’Ober sheets of same thickness and same surface finish. This is the same case when using thin substrates and/or in big dimensions.
Wall panelling, on the contrary, allows backing with Brut d’Ober one side only, provided the sheets is rigidly held in place by a securing system or reinforcement, while the back side is protected from humidity and covered with a vapour-resistant coat of paint, lacquer or varnish.
Cleaning off glue deposits
Proceed as for a solid wood surface.
Surface finish
Panels supplied pre-sanded, needing slight additional sanding by the fabricator for a professional result.
