Colour and surface match

• Decor, structure and core board all influence the final appearance of the end product.
• Due to the product-specific differences in production technologies, even identical decor/structure/core board combinations can result in slight optical and tactile deviations across different product groups and formats. Such deviations do not constitute a defect.
• The choice of surface structure in particular has a significant influence on the visual impression, the tactile perception as well as the technical characteristics of the product. Thus, the overall impression of a decor can change almost completely depending on the surface structure. Furthermore, mechanical influences on the product surface can lead to a higher contrast optical perception with dark decors.
• To ensure that you always achieve the best results with our products and to clarify any deviations in advance, we will be happy to advise you individually.

Processing

• Can be worked with carbide tipped tools on conventional woodworking machines.

Edging

• Thick and thin edges are suitable.
• EVA and PUR hotmelts are recommended for edge adhesion.

Fitting technology

• All conventional removable and non-removable fittings for solid wood and wood materials are suitable.

Installation and assembly

• Sufficient conditioning is required prior to installation and assembly. The premises themselves need to be at the normal climatic conditions in which the material will later be used.
• Please ensure that the material is processed and fitted correctly and using the best available technology.
• Especially for large applications, we recommend paying attention to the colour and texture uniformity of the boards and cut products used when further processing and installing and that the production direction is taken into account.

Storage, handling and transport

• On level, full area surfaces (e.g. pallets), protected against moisture, in dry, ventilated rooms. Outdoor storage is not suitable.
• Please note that incorrect storage, regardless of its duration, may cause irreversible distortion to the sheets.
• Foreign bodies or impurities in the pallet of sheets can lead to impressions and damage to the surface of the board.
• Ensure that sufficiently large and sturdy bases, e.g. pallets, are used for the transportation of stacked sheets. The sheets on the pallet must be secured against slipping.
• Sheets / boards must not be moved against each other, they should be moved individually by hand or with suction equipment.

Health and safety
