The Dos and Don'ts of

TIMBERFLEX and FLEXBOARD

 

Dos

  • Attach to framework first before applying face material. This product is designed to be installed using conventional fabrication methods.

  • Attach with the use of glues, staples or nails to the framework

  • Always attach to horizontal support ribs. the use of three ribs (top, middle, bottom) is recommended.

  • Use vertical grade HPL as face. A horizontal grade HPL can be used provided it will bend to the desired radius.

  • Any type of backed face veneer (paperback, two-ply, phenolic backed veneer, etc.) can be used as face.

  • Flexboard does allow for the lamination of a single-ply veneer and then bending up to a 16" radius

Don'ts

  • Do not laminate while flat with HPL, phenolic backed veneer or other stiff materials.

  • Do not attach to vertical ribs except where seaming is to be done. If vertical ribs are used, attaching through these ribs may deflect the panel and distort the shape.

  • If possible, avoid allowing face material to end on a radius. Especially horizontal grade laminates or other similarly rigid materials.

  • Never over bend. Do not try to bend beyond the natural stopping point when making outside radius.

  • Do not attach single ply veneer to Timberflex.
