Valchromat is a unique wood fibre panel which is coloured throughout and engineered for high physical performance. The fibres are individually impregnated with non toxic, organic dyes and chemically bonded by specifically developed resins that give the panels their special properties. Manufactured in a range of beautiful colours, different sheet dimensions and several thicknesses make it fantastically versatile. It accepts a multitude of different type of finish, such as varnish, oil, wax or lacquer. The natural wood fibres used in production are visible on the surface giving a natural appearance. Due to its moisture resistance it is suitable for a variety of interior applications including bathrooms and kitchens. Other applications include furniture, wall cladding, partitioning, flooring, doors etc.
Being coloured throughout the board means no matter how you cut or machine it, the colour remains consistent. This has great advantages over melamine faced products that require edging once cut. The other advantage over faced or edged boards is if Valchromat is scratched or scuffed it can simply be sanded out and re-finished. Joints can be sanded flush with no worrying about damaging the surface.
Valchromat conforms to EN622-5 Moisture Resistant EN319 & EN317 and is fully FSC certified.
Some of the benefits of Valcromat over standard MDF:
It is moisture resistant
It has greater internal cohesion and, therefore, higher mechanical strength
It allows working in three dimensions - mechanization
