Step Pattern – Polyolefin

The surface of this skid-resistant plywood is covered with a checker pattern of approx. 7mm square, that is turned through 90 degrees with approx. 2mm between each patterned area.

The slip-resistant surface coating is a 1.15mm thick black or grey polyolefin surface coating and the panel is supplied with a smooth paper balancer to the reverse, unless otherwise agreed.

Information

Technical details (general)

• Construction:
  • Exterior birch plywood faced with a slip-resistant, patterned phenolic resin coating that offers enhanced safety in the form of a resilient and water-proof anti-slip surface
• Standard thickness:
  • 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm, 21mm, 24mm, 27mm, 30mm
    (plus surface coating)
• Standard sizes:
  • 1200 / 1220 / 1250 x 2400 / 2440 / 2500mm
  • 1200 / 1220 x 3000 / 3050 / 3300 / 3600 / 4000mm
  • 1500 / 1525 / 1880 x 2400 / 2440 / 3000 / 3050 / 3600 / 4000mm
• Special sizes:
  • In principle, any size can be produced up to the maximum stated above
    (or 2900x13000mm if scarf jointed)
• Surface coating:
  • Hard-wearing phenolic-based or polyolefin film, typically to one side with smooth surface to the reverse
• Edge treatment:
  • Typically sealed with exterior acrylic paint to protect against moisture
  • Notes:
    1. If the panels are subsequently cut to size, any newly exposed edges must be fully resealed using a suitable exterior protection system (e.g. acrylic paint)
    2. Rounding any sharp corners & edges will greatly help in the resealing process, as this will better allow the paint to fully adhere
    3. It is also highly recommended that after drilling holes or similar other areas where the water-resistant protective surface has been broken are sealed in a similar manner
• Wear rating:
  • Taber abrasion value = 800R-1500R (EN 438-2), depending upon the coating
• Tolerances:
  • Length/width: up to 1m @ ±1mm, up to 2m @ ±2mm , 2m & above @ ±3mm
  • Thickness: +0.2mm, -0.5mm
  • (Others by arrangement)
  • EN 636-3 – Exterior & high moisture applications
• Bonding Quality:
  • EN 314-2 Class 3 – Exterior
  • E1 (EN 13986) Low formaldehyde, CARB II, ULEF (Ultra Low Emitting Formaldehyde)
