Furniture Board Chipboard U11027 HG Ice white: what is it?

Furniture panel is a fully finished board material, in this case with a melamine top layer. Melamine-faced furniture panels are widely used in the furniture industry and are gaining ground due to the versatile textures, colours and possibilities in terms of top layers. The advantage of melamine faced panel material, compared to veneer, is that it is ready to use immediately: no need to finish! This makes the product ideal for use. A melamine top layer is a veneer layer of paper fibres, melted together with a melamine resin. This creates a hard plastic top layer.

Melamine top layer

The furniture panels have a strong and hard melamine top layer, which gives them an attractive appearance and makes the wood durable. The melamine top layer has a high density, which gives it its hard and strong properties. A melamine top layer is water-repellent, easy to wipe down with a cloth and, to a certain extent, heat-resistant. Properties that are very pleasant for every interior application!

The advantages of melamine faced board material again:

• Ready to use
• Strong and water-repellent
• Fixed colour scheme
• Wide choice of colours and textures

Chipboard carrier

This furniture panel has chipboard as a carrier. This is a popular choice when it comes to melamine faced board material. Its light weight, its structural advantages, its smooth surface and the fact that it has an affordable production method make chipboard a common carrier. The type of chipboard on which the top layer of this product is supplied is ClassicBoard P2 chipboard. A type of chipboard from Pfleiderer. 

A durable choice

Chipboard is made of glued wood chips that are pressed together crosswise in three layers. This makes the board structurally strong as well. In comparison with MDF, coarser chips are used and in comparison with OSB, finer chips are used. The ClassicBoard P2 boards have a composition of 50% post-consumer wood, 35% pre-consumer wood and 15% fresh wood. This makes the ClassicBoard P2 boards a very sustainable choice.

Thermopal melamine from Pfleiderer

Furniture Board Chipboard U11027 HG Ice white has a top layer of Thermopal. Thermopal is a Pfleiderer brand name that includes melamine topcoats that are manufactured in a sustainable way. By mixing kraft paper with a high-quality melamine resin, Pfleiderer creates over 150 different decors with the Thermopal range; an impressive collection.

Thermopal is a melamine topcoat and therefore particularly suitable for decorative applications such as cabinet interiors, fronts and wall panelling. For furniture with intensive use or load-bearing functions, Duropal is a better choice. Duropal is an HPL layer and therefore more solid than melamine. The colour matching system allows Thermopal, Duropal and the matching ABS tape to be seamlessly integrated. This allows you to create perfect unity between fronts, wall coverings, desks and many other applications.

The product names have been given a handy structure to ensure that you can easily find the right product. The first letter/number combination always refers to a particular colour.

Machining of furniture panels

The great advantage of chipboard with a melamine top layer is that it is immediately ready for use. Furniture panels are good and relatively easy to assemble if you are well prepared. Do bear in mind that melamine is sensitive when you start working with it. When assembling the panel, it is advisable to screw the screws at the back or bottom (make sure not to go through the material!). This way the screw holes are not visible and you avoid visible splinters of the melamine. Are you going to mount on the visible side? Then first place painter's tape on the spot where you are going to process the board. In this way, the tape absorbs the first contact between the tool and the board and the risk of splinters is reduced.

Specific applications of Chipboard furniture panels

Furniture panel is also called melamine-coated or decorative MDF and is widely used for making furniture. It is a versatile product that can be used for many purposes. Think of desktops, cabinets, kitchen cabinets, bookcases or shelves. Furniture often has a large surface area and therefore takes a lot of time to finish. By using board material with a melamine top layer, you no longer need to paint the board material and you ensure that everything looks neat and tidy. With the various possibilities of decors and textures, there is a suitable board material for every job.
