Silver fir solid wood
and three-layer panels

Echtle solid wood panels are made from pure silver fir wood, either from continuous or from finger-joint fins. Thanks to the processing of 100% rift-cut/ semi rift-cut goods, the boards acquire a plain, classy and straightforward appearance.

Bonding is done with a nonhazardous D4 casein glue which does not cause effluvium, e.g. formaldehyde or similar. They find use in interior fittings, in commercial construction or in furniture manufacturing.

 

Our solid wood panels are available in standard dimensions of 20x1290x2970mm (other dimensions possible on request) and in the following quality grades:

 

• General specifications: fin breadth 73mm, available continuous or finger-jointed, thickness back and cover 5.5mm respectively, drying up to 10% (+/-2%) wood moisture, grind with abrasive grade 60

• excellent: continuous fins, free of branches and faults, 100% rift-cut/semi rift-cut, light to medium fir-specific color tolerances, straight fibre, no or only very light ribboning, without coarse annual rings, back side with slight faults (solid wood panel)

• dynamic: continuous or finger-jointed fins, free of branches and faults, 100% rift-cut/semi rift-cut, with fir-specific color tolerances, partly coarser annual rings, light to medium ribboning admissible

• elegant: finger-jointed fins, free of branches and faults, 100% rift-cut/semi rift-cut, light to medium fir-specific color tolerances, straight fibre, fine annual rings, back side with slight faults (solid wood panel)

• Industry: finger-jointed fins, usually free of branches, with optical faults, no claim of fir-specific color, fibre course, annual ring breadth, closed surface, standard-back side of the three-layer panel

The front and back sides of Echtle three-layer panels are made from the same raw material as the solid wood panels with a thickness of 5.5mm. This means that the surfaces are identical to those of the solid wood panels. The non-visible middle layers are made from fir / spruce in industrial quality.

All three layers are laminated with PU glue. Just like casein glue, PU glue hardens under the influence of moisture and does not emit hazardous vapors.  For that reason, our three-layer panels can be used unscrupulously in the commercial and residential areas.

The standard measures are 20x1290x2970mm and can be manufactured in the following finishes:

• excellent
• dynamic
• elegant
• Industry

The qualities of the surfaces are identical to those of the solid wood panels.

Further dimensions and quality combinations are available upon request.
