We are meticulous and take specific steps to make edge-glued panels:
We select high-quality sustainable wood boards or strips. We use oak or beech wood that is kiln-dried to eliminate excess moisture and stabilize wood.
We examine the wood boards and strips to see if they present defects like knots, cracks, or warping. We trim and cut the defective sections to obtain high-quality and uniform panels.
We use WEINIG Profimat 50 and WEINIG Powermat 700 for rough planing and smooth planning. This way, the joints will become tight and seamless throughout the glueing process.
We apply the adhesive to the edges of the wood boards or strips. Epoxy, polyvinyl acetate (PVA), and urea-formaldehyde are our common adhesives. We use WEINIG ProfiPress L II 2500 to press the boards or strips together along the edges so that the glued surfaces make complete contact.
We place the glued wood pieces into clamps or hydraulic presses and apply pressure to get a strong bond between the edges. The clamped assembly will cure for the right amount of time, until the adhesive sets and bonds the wood parts together.
We trim the uneven edges away from the panel and sand the surface. High-tech machinery will help us achieve the aimed results. When we 're done, the finish will be smooth and uniform.
We take pride in inspecting our products before sending them to our customers. We make sure that they meet the high standards for appearance, dimension, and structural integrity.
Edge-glued solid wood panels present excellent strength and long lifespan. Thanks to the bonding process, the panels are strong and withstand important weight and pressure. They are great choices for structural applications.
The edge-gluing process distributes stress and reduces movement within the panel. As a result, the panels have increased stability and resistance to twisting, warping, and cracking. The panels keep their shape and dimensions in time, even if the environmental conditions change.
Edge-glued solid wood panels maintain the natural beauty of wood, such as colour variations, grain patterns, and knots. Their natural appearance brings warmth to any space and improves the looks of cabinetry, furniture, and all applications.
Versatility is another significant quality of edge-glued solid wood panels. They can be cut, shaped, and finished according to your project's requirements. The panels can be used for furniture making, tabletops, shelving, countertops, cabinetry, and more.
It's rather easy to work with edge-glued solid wood panels with common woodworking tools and methods. The panels can be drilled, sanded, routed, sanded, and finished similar to solid wood. Finishing with stains, varnishes, and various coatings is possible with the panels.
We use wood from sustainably harvested wood sources as we care deeply for the environment. We use small wood pieces and scraps to reduce waste and improve resource efficiency.
Edge-glued solid wood panels can be used in a wide variety of applications:
Furniture making
Edge-glued panels can be used for shelves, cabinets, and benches. The panels work as a sturdy and visually appealing surface for furniture pieces for residential and commercial spaces.
Cabinetry
Cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and side panels can be made with edge-glued wood panels. They are strong and can be adjusted in shape, size, and finish.
Shelving
Edge-glued solid wood panels can be used for shelving units in homes, retail spaces, offices, and libraries. They withstand heavy loads and offer an elegant display area for books, décor and various items.
Countertops and tabletops
Countertops in kitchens, bathrooms, and bars can be made with edge-glued panels as they are solid and long-lasting. Such solid wood panels will withstand daily use and long-time exposure to moisture. They can also be used for tabletops in conference rooms, dining rooms, and restaurants.
Doors and drawer fronts
Wood doors and drawer fronts for closets, cabinets, and furniture pieces can be made with edge-glued solid wood panels. They create a timeless look and resist long-time use.
Wall paneling
Edge-glued panels can be installed as wall panelling to bring warmth and character to a room. According to the finishes, the panels will create a modern or rustic feeling and can be used in residential homes, retail stores, and commercial offices.
Architectural elements
Beams, columns, and mantels can be made with edge-glued panels. They will give the beauty of natural wood and offer excellent structural support.
Crafts and DIY projects
Hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts use edge-glued solid wood panels for woodworking projects like picture frames, cutting boards, signage, and even small furniture pieces.
