Special Formats
It is possible to produce special lengths and widths above an order quantity of 300 m2. In this case the widths increase in steps of 0.25 mm from 1.25 m to 2.0 m and the lengths in 0.5 m steps from 4.0 m to 6.0 m upwards. Invoicing is carried out with a special supplement and to the next larger dimension (e.g. ordered dimension 3.90 x 1.45 m = invoiced dimension 4.0 x 1.5 m).
In the case of lengths above 6.0 m, the panels are endlessly fingerjointed and then subsequently cut to size. This type of production allows for intermediate lengths without waste.
    Minimum order quantity

Moisture Content
Moisture content ex factory: approx. 10 to 12% ± 2%
Depending on the atmosphere, checks may occur in the top layer strips or in the joints when used in interior rooms or on sunlit exterior surfaces. We recommend that coatings are not applied until the equilibrium moisture content has been reached.

Material Characteristics
Density: at 12% moisture content approx. 450 kg/m3
Diffusion resistance value (µ): 190 to 220
Thermal conductivity (λ):
0.14 W/mK
Shrinkage and swelling dimensions per % change in moisture content of timber:
Length: 0.01 to 0.02 %
Width: 0.01 to 0.02 %
Thickness: 0.24 %
Emission Class:
E1 (= 0.1 ppm HCHO)
Gluing:
Melamine-urea-formaldehyde resin (MUF), corresponds to AW 100 (weatherproof)




    Tolerances at 12% Moisture Content
Lengths up to 6000 mm:
± 2 mm
Widths up to 2000 mm:
± 2 mm
Thicknesses:
± 0.5 mm
Top layer thickness:
up to 40 mm: ± 0.3 mm

Storage Recommendations
The panel is produced with a moisture content of approx. 10 to 12% ± 2%. The packages or panels should, therefore, be stored on a flat, level support and under ambient conditions which correspond to the timber’s equilibrium moisture content of approx. 10 to 12%, e.g. at 55% relative humidity and 20 °C. If stored horizontally or even if individual panels are stored vertically, the panels should not be exposed to any one-sided climate effect. We recommend that the panel stacks should be well covered up to prevent any arching of the topmost panel. The packages should be supported at least once per linear metre.

Finger joints
Minimum and maximum dimensions when fingerjointing:

  minimum maximum
Thickness 20 mm 75 mm
Width 1250 mm 2000 mm
Length 4200 mm 24000 mm

The panel joint is arranged differently on every panel as a result of the fingerjointing process. For production engineering reasons it is not possible to create the joint exactly at the desired point (see diagram below).
Fingerjointed panels are delivered with an additional allowance of approx. 3 cm in length. A width offset of the individual panel sections of up to 5 mm is possible at the joint.

    Accurate cutting to size of the panels is possible in our CNC machining centre at additional cost.

In the case of panel lengths over 6.0 m, supporting timbers corresponding to the package sizes will be required for stacking in the fingerjointing plant and for handling. These will be invoiced separately.
The panels can only be fingerjointed lengthways. The joint is taped in the B-quality. This ensures a relatively clean joint formation.
Subsequent dressing of the fingerjointed joint at additional cost is necessary to obtain an absolutely clean joint.
   
As the panel joints have to be dressed subsequently by hand due to the escape of glue, we must point out that in this area, if a coloured treatment is applied to the timber, colour differences must be anticipated on the surface. The joint remains visible even after dressing.

Grooves
It is possible to apply a tongue & groove profile
Invoicing is carried out in linear metres

Coatings
Coatings and protective treatments are possible at additional cost.
