This is a relatively "young" finishing material, which has earned the popularity of customers due to its versatility. The scope of its application is so wide that it is difficult to imagine where it cannot be used.
Where are the panels used?
First of all, this is a finishing material. Therefore, it is successfully used for wall decoration, manufacturing of suspended ceilings, furniture facades.

Material benefits
HDF is the material from which perforated panels are made. It is very durable, resistant to abrasion. Its undoubted advantage is its simplicity in work and the ability to change the interior with it, because special professional skills for working with it are not required. The panels are shockproof, resistant to abrasion and scratching, they do not stain, they are not subject to light and temperature effects. For work and sawing panels in industrial conditions, a circular saw is used, and at home you can use a hacksaw or jigsaw.
Assembly and installation
When installing perforated panels in frames, a tolerance of about fifteen percent in thickness and a little more than half a percent in length and width should be left. This is necessary in order to prevent deformation due to moisture. Before starting work, the perforated panels must be brought into the room in which they will be installed and left for 24-48 hours. During this time they will take room temperature and humidity. For the ceiling, plates with a size of 595 x 595 mm are ideal, you can use sheets with a size of 1195 x 1195 mm. Larger plates will bend.
Paint and primer
Before painting, the perforated panels should be primed. For this, alkyd paint, 10-15% diluted with white spirit, is suitable.
Finished Product Care
Such panels should be looked after just like furniture. You can use a soft damp cloth and detergents (non-aggressive).
