This is a relatively "young" finishing material that has earned the popularity of buyers due to its versatility. The scope of its application is so wide that it is difficult to imagine where it cannot be used.
Where are the panels used?
First of all, it is a finishing material. Therefore, it is successfully used for wall decoration, the manufacture of suspended ceilings, furniture facades. They are used as screens covering radiators. In addition, they are successfully used as decorative inserts in furniture production, for the manufacture of partitions and registration counters in the office, for the manufacture of commercial equipment.
Material advantages
HDF is the material from which perforated panels are made. It is very durable and abrasion resistant. Its undoubted advantage is ease of use and the ability to change the interior with it, because special professional skills are not required to work with it. The panels are impact-resistant, resistant to abrasion and scratching, they do not leave stains, they are not subject to light andtemperature influence. A circular saw is used to work and cut panels in an industrial environment, and at home you can use a hacksaw or a jigsaw.
Installation and installation
When installing perforated panels into frames, allow a tolerance of about fifteen percent in thickness and a little more than half a percent in length and width. This is necessary in order to prevent deformation under the influence of moisture. Before starting work, the perforated panels must be brought into the room in which they will be installed and left for 24-48 hours. During this time, they will take room temperature and humidity. For the ceiling, plates with a size of 595 x 595 mm are ideal, sheets with a size of 1195 x 1195 mm can also be used. Larger slabs will bend.
Paint and primer
Before painting, perforated panels should be primed. Alkyd paint, 10-15% diluted with white spirit, is suitable for this.
Caring for the finished product
Care for such panels should be the same as for furniture. You can use a soft damp cloth and detergents (non-aggressive).
