Decopanel is the product group of the veneered panel material. The HPLT pressing process (High Pressure Low Temperature) that Decospan applies guarantees the highest quality for each type of panel. This unique method is the result of our decades of experience in pressing methods and veneer processing. When ordering a veneered panel, it is essential to select the right base board and the right backing. Please see the drawing below for clarification.

  1. TOP LAYER: The selected look
    (wood species, slicing and jointing technique, quality)
  2. PANEL: Choice of various types, dimensions and thicknesses
  3. BACKING: For great stability, a veneered panel must be fitted
    with a balancer. There are several options:
    • Same as top layer (wood type, slicing method, jointing technique, quality)
    • Same as top layer (wood type, slicing method, jointing technique) but in a different quality: Architectural, Classic, Commercial
    • B Quality: The same wood type as the top layer but in a lower grade. This allows for using cut-offs, closed veneer rejects, discolouration and, to some extent, sapwood.
    • C Quality: The same wood type as the top layer but without any aesthetic value. With unlimited use of sapwood and plain faults are tolerated to some extent.
    • Manufacturer's selection: an alternative allowing the operators to use any wood type and quality to stabilise the panels. Both sapwood and plain faults are used without limitation. This option is advised only for applications where the counter-side of the panel is not visible.

A standard block-board is a panel with a solid wood core, generally made of pine or poplar. This board is finished with a rotary-cut veneer or a thin chipboard or MDF board. The specific product structure used for block-boards means that the finished product may be labelled as 'solid wood'. The screw-holding power and machinability are within the parameters of regular solid wood.

Available options:
Block-board, Block-board MDF

A plywood board is made of an odd number of rotary cut veneer layers using cross-grain pressing. This makes this type of board very robust and ideal for load-bearing applications. On top of the covering veneers, we glue a decorative veneer that you selected as your top layer.

Available options:
Plywood, Plywood poplar, Plywood WBP, Plywood Birch WPB, Plywood Okoumé WBP, Plywood Fire-retardant
