Top layer of real wood veneer stained and UV protected with six layers of UV-lacquer, applied sequentially by means of a rolling technique and intermediate curing; a core of MDF with a high density of 580 kg/m³ (±30 kg/m³) and a backing layer of veneer. The sides of the beams are finished with a veneer by application of a veneer edge band.

The HPLT (High Pressure Low Temperature) press procedure used by Decospan guarantees the best quality for each panel. The process follows the DSI-method, ensuring complete saturation of the wood fibers and a significantly tight bond. The edge bands on the sides of the beams are bonded with an EVA adhesive. No formaldehyde is added during the production process.

Stained with water-based colorants and protected with six layers ultra-low emitting acrylate urethane UV-cured varnish (99.5% solids), applied sequentially by means of a rolling technique and intermediate curing; matt finish (2 ±1).

The slats are packed per 8, 4 or 3 (depending on the size) in a cardboard box. The top and bottom sides of the box are additionally protected with an MDF cover plate.

Normal maintenance involves no more than removing dust with a soft, dry cloth. A slightly damp cloth can also be used, but avoid using too much water. Tough dirt can be removed using water and a mild cleaning agent or a detergent. Never use a cleaner based on acetone or ethyl butyl acetate without consulting Decospan, as these substances can leave marks that cannot be removed.
