ULTRA-THIN BLACK WOOD WORKTOPS

AT LAST WE CAN LAUNCH THE KIND OF WORKTOP WE HAVE LONG DREAMED OF!

ULTRA-THIN AND DURABLE BLACK WOOD WORKTOP BASED ON HDF BOARD CREATES NEW POSSIBILITIES IN INTERIOR DESIGN. AESTHETICS AND FUNCTIONALITY IN ONE!

 

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES

• the product is moisture resistant (low swelling) - can be used in rooms with enhanced humidity;
• is flame retardant (D-s1,d0) - is ideal for interior furnishings and public buildings;
• the surface is resistant to elevated temperatures - a pot with boiling water can be placed directly on the worktop (kettles are an exception) without causing damage - hot metal pots and pans with single and multilayer bottoms, too - but we recommend that insulation pads be used;
• the surface is abrasion, scratch and impact resistant - it will shrug-off most domestic activity, but we recommend using a cutting board for cutting, sanding and hammering;
• it has a stain-resistant surface that is easy to clean;
• the surface will not fade in strong light;
• it’s safe for health (hygiene class E1/ED2020).

 

AESTHETIC ADVANTAGES

• edge banding is not necessary, but possible;
• it can be manufactured in any desired shape;
• the base board is colored in a dark color;
• any profile can be given to the edges;
• t’s ultra-thin - lends any room a unique sense of lightness and elegance.

 

ANTIBACTERIAL PROPERTIES

The surface of ultra-thin worktops has antibacterial properties. Suchproperties BLACK WOOD Worktops mean that bacteria do not grow on their surfaces. Antibacterial activity tests have been performed in accordance with ISO 22196:2011 against two bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli), and their results confirm that the worktop surface inhibits the growth of microorganisms.

 

APPLICATION

• for the production of furniture;
• for the production of interior finishing elements (kitchen and furniture worktops, tables, desks, shelves, furniture, etc.).

IMPORTANT!

All visible (external) worktop edges necessarily have to be protected in order to close their surface and protect them against dirt, abrasion and water penetration, as well as for aesthetic reasons (use of wax deepens the black colour of the base board). For this purpose, we recommend to use:

• colourless coatings like: hard wax, varnish. Warning: We particularly recommend use of OSMO hard wax;
• edgeband, e.g. ABS one, glued with the use of polyurethane glue.

The BLACK WOOD worktop should not be used for suspended sinks, only for overhead ones.
