Cut-to-size FINSA superPan Technical Matt panels

There are several manufacturers of melaminated board material, or board material with a melaminated top layer. FINSA is one of them. FINSA offers a wide range of high-quality furniture panels that can be used for kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms, among others.

: what is that?

Furniture panel is sheet material with a strong, finished top layer, in this case with a reinforced melamine top layer. Furniture panels are widely used in the furniture industry and are gaining ground due to their versatile textures, colours and topcoat options. The advantage of melamine-laminated board material, compared to veneered board, is that it is immediately ready for use: there is no need to finish it! This makes the product ideal for use.

Melamine is produced in different ways. For example, a melamine top layer can consist of a veneer layer of paper fibres fused together with a melamine resin. This creates a hard plastic top layer. Other production methods include the use of acrylic lacquers combined with a curing technique. A furniture panel derives its properties from the combination of top layer with its backing. More on this below.

Melamine top layer

Furniture panels have a strong and hard melamine top layer, which gives the wood panels an attractive appearance and makes the wood resistant. The melamine top layer has a high density, which also gives it its hard and strong properties. A melamine top layer is water-repellent, easy to wipe off with a cloth and to some extent heat-resistant. Properties that are very pleasant for any interior application! Some manufacturers process the melamine layer with heat and chemicals to increase the scratch-resistant properties, for example. This makes one panel suitable for intensive use and another not.

In brief, the advantages of melamine faced board material once again:

• Ready to use immediately
• Strong and water-repellent
• Fixed colour
• Wide range of colours and textures
• Depending on the product line, suitable for intensive or horizontal use

Melamine top layer with Technical Matt properties

has a topcoat of Technical Matt. Technical Matt is a brand name of FINSA under which melamine topcoats fall. Technical Matt is distinguished from other melamine layers by the way it is produced. Processing acrylic lacquers with a patented Electon Beam Curing technique gives the material a range of very practical properties. For instance, it is velvety soft and impervious to finger marks. Combined with a high resistance to heat and scratches, it is a highly suitable material for intensive use. In many ways, thanks to its comfortable touch, scratch resistance and Uv-resistance, it is also reminiscent of the well-known Fenix material. 

Its antibacterial properties make it a very suitable surface for food contact. The material is also easy to maintain as the surface is resistant to mild detergents. Thus, the rock-solid properties and soft appearance of make this material a high-quality product. So from now on, order a luxurious and durable upgrade for your kitchen or living room, for example, from the THE online sawmill.

A carrier of FINSA superPan

FINSA's SuperPan belongs to a new generation of structural or engineered wood. By combining properties of classic structural boards, FINSA creates a new line of supports that serve as a solid base for a variety of top layers. The board is composed of HDF and chipboard. Two materials each with their unique properties. Whereas the core of chipboard ensures light weight, the top layer of HDF contributes to easy machinability. The high pressure of HDF makes it easier for screws to stay in place, for example. In addition, the HDF top layer increases bending strength, which, combined with a melamine top layer, makes it a very durable product. FINSA uses largely scrap wood for superPan. As a result of this sustainable production method, FINSA's furniture panels therefore carry the Cradle-to-Cradle Bronze certificate.

Machining melamine or HPL furniture panel

The big advantage of chipboard and HDF with a melamine-coated top layer or HPL variant is that it is ready to use straight away. Furniture panel is good and relatively easy to assemble provided you are well prepared. While mounting the panel, it is advisable to screw the screws on the back or bottom side (be careful not to go through the material!). That way, the screw holes are not visible and you avoid visible splinters from the melamine. 

Are you going to mount on the visible side? Then first place painter's tape on the place where you will be working on the board. This way, the tape will catch the first contact between the tool and the board and reduce the risk of splintering.  Make sure you have the right drills and attachments. In general, you use the same tools for HPL as for working hardwood. Special HPL drills are also available. Make sure you are well informed before working with HPL. Although HPL is stronger than melamine, it can still be damaged if heavy tools bounce off it.

Specific applications of furniture panels

Furniture panel is also called melaminated or decorative board material. It is widely used for making furniture and, with the right backing and top layer, also for worktops. Furniture, decors and wall coverings often have a large surface area and therefore take a long time to finish. By using melamine-coated sheet material, you no longer need to paint the sheet material and ensure that everything looks sleek. The melamine top layers of furniture panels also have their own unique properties from one manufacturer to another. Technical Matt from FINSA, with its antibacterial, moisture and heat-resistant properties, is very suitable for intensive use in kitchens and bathrooms. With its luxurious appearance, the material fits perfectly into many interior styles and thus certainly into living rooms or bedrooms.
