PRODUCT FEATURES

Substrate materials are selected as necessary to meet performance requirements, including chipboard, MDF, moisture-resistant MDF, plywood, laminboard and balsa blockboard. Shadbolt will advise on the most suitable material according to application.

Panels may be supplied with any or all edges lipped in a range of treatments.

Lippings may be concealed by matching veneer or may be visible, in which case the lipping species and finish can be chosen according to appearance required.

The visual effect required at the joints will generally determine the type and profile of the lipping and whether it is to be veneered with the panel or not.

All panels are made to order to sizes required. Floor-to-ceiling height panels can generally be supplied where needed. In some cases sizes may be limited by the practicalities of manufacture, but large panels can be made by scarf jointing of the substrate without affecting performance.

Consult Shadbolt for advice on panel sizes, thicknesses and weights at our technical department.

Panels can be supplied in the same range of finishes as door leaves, including factory-applied veneer finishes and coloured lacquer finishes.

They may be veneered in any sustainably sourced species, with a standard finish of semi-matt lacquer; veneered panels may be co-ordinated throughout a scheme with doors, frames, skirtings, trims etc.

For more information see Veneer Finishes or Laminate and Paint Finishes.

Spread of flame
Standard wall panels will meet the Building Regulations Class 3 requirement for flame spread without special treatment.

Where Euroclass B or C performance is required, together with appearance identical to that of standard panels, see Fire rated panels.

Hygrothermal
Panels show excellent dimensional stability and appearance retention under varying temperature and humidity regimes.

INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE

Correct installation of a veneered panel is fundamental to its performance. Suitable handling, storage and site conditions for installation are essential and we recommend that panels are installed by a competent joinery installer.
