A birch throughout plywood, overlaid with a hard wearing special smooth wire mesh phenol pattern, combining both functionality and a decorative visual appearance.
Light building
Road transport
Riga Smooth Mesh is a durable panel for demanding applications; it can be used anywhere a heavy-duty, high wear-resistant and decorative appearance is required.
Features and benefits:
Further processing
Riga Smooth Mesh can be further processed according to customer's specification with cut-to-size, CNC, drilling, milling, jointing, edge machining, and assembling in sets.
Surface properties
The wire mesh overlay improves panel resistance against mechanical damage and wear. It resists abrasion, and commonly used chemicals and is weather and moisture resistant. Depending on the film used (modified phenolic or melamine), abrasion, crack, UV resistance and other properties can be significantly improved. Riga Wood experts will advise the most appropriate overlay depending on the end use.
