SILVA PANELS IN AN INTERIOR APPLICATION
The solid, single-ply 15mm panels or the 3-ply 20mm panels can be used effectively for interior applications. Both panels use water-proof glues approved by the European Union and Japan standards.
It should be noted that 3-ply panels can be made with a clear, defect-free face as well as back if specified ahead of time. This may apply in some furniture uses such as cabinet doors. Normally, the product is made with a lower grade back which is not seen.
A niche market for the single-ply panels has been in ceiling tiles. However, the major use will be in wall paneling where it has a price advantage and greater stability over traditional lumber profiles such as tongue and groove. The major advantage is ease of installation and zero to no wastage on the job site.
