Your Guide for Specifying STEVENSWOOD Products in your projects
Specifying STEVENWOOD® Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL) panels is straightforward and flexible for a wide range of interior applications including:
Particleboard is the most commonly specified substrate for TFL panels and is the primary material stocked by Stevenswood for fast lead times.
Advantages
• Cost-effective for large projects
• Smooth, stable core ideal for laminate bonding
• Consistent thickness and density
• Excellent machinability for cabinetry and millwork
• Made with recycled wood fiber
Typical Applications
• Kitchen cabinetry
• Closets and wardrobes
• Commercial casework
• Multi-family housing
• Office furniture
Because of its stability and affordability, particleboard is the preferred substrate for most cabinetry and interior millwork applications.
MDF offers a smoother, more refined core that is well suited for applications requiring precision machining or detailed edge work.
Advantages
• Extremely smooth and uniform surface
• Ideal for detailed machining and routing
• Higher density than particleboard
• Excellent edge quality when machined
Typical Applications
• High-end cabinetry
• Routed or machined panel components
• Furniture pieces
• Specialty millwork
MDF panels are produced made-to-order depending on project requirements.
Plywood substrates provide additional strength and moisture resistance compared to fiber-based panels, making them suitable for certain specialty applications.
Advantages
• Higher structural strength
• Improved screw holding capability
• Better performance in humid environments
• Lighter weight than particleboard in some configurations
Typical Applications
• Commercial millwork
• Institutional interiors
• Projects requiring structural rigidity
• Environments with variable humidity
Plywood options are available made-to-order depending on project specifications.
For architects and spec writers, STEVENWOOD® provides a CSI-formatted three-part specification that can be incorporated directly into project documentation.
The specification includes:
• Product description
• Performance characteristics
• Acceptable substrates
• Manufacturing information
• Installation guidance
STEVENWOOD® panels are designed to integrate easily into fabrication workflows. Our TFL panels can be cut, edged, and assembled by cabinet manufacturers and millwork shops using standard equipment.
Matching components such as doors, moldings, and complementary surfaces may also be available through STEVENWOOD® partner programs.
