Doorframe panel European Oak | B/B | finger-jointed lamellas | FSC®100%

The finger-jointed laminated door frame panels in coating quality are the ideal product for producing door linings or door frames in individual widths and thicknesses without having to use the usual edge dimensions. All door frame panels are FSC® 100 % and can be used in public buildings without any problems.

Storage

The door frame panels may only be stored in closed, dry and not too cold rooms. The panels must not be stored near heaters, damp walls, open doors or windows and must be protected from direct sunlight. The ideal storage temperature is approx. 20 °C at a relative humidity of 45 to 55 % without large temperature fluctuations. The door frame panels need a longer time to adjust after a large temperature change. The panels should always be stored lying down.

Transport

If possible, the door frame panels should be transported lying down. When securing the load, always fasten the tensioning straps in line with the squared lumber so that no deformation or breakage of the panels occurs when lashing the straps.

The boards should not be left on the loading bridge of the truck overnight or over the weekend, especially in case of strong temperature fluctuations or in the winter months.

Processing

The moisture content of the boards must be measured before and after processing. The ideal wood moisture content is 8% ± 2%. The room climate in the workshop should have an air temperature of approx. 20° and a relative humidity of 35 to 55% during processing.

We recommend that you process the door frame panels promptly in one go, i.e. ripping, routing, sleeping and lacquering. This reduces the risk of warping, as the panels can practically not absorb any moisture. The boards must be lacquered over their entire surface, even on the face side, to prevent moisture from penetrating.

Wood suffers especially during the heating period if the room climate is unhealthily too dry. Please always check your room climate and humidify if necessary.

If you do not follow these instructions, open glue joints or even warping or cracking of the wood may occur. The processing and storage instructions must be observed especially for beech wood. This hardwood reacts very strongly to changes in humidity.
