MDF Panels Brochure - Nelson Pine

1 Furniture and Joinery Applications(all thicknesses)GoldenEdge Thinline is ideal for thin panelling; it has excellentbending qualities which also makes it ideal for curved andlaminated Panels . Compatible with all types of interior panelproducts, GoldenEdgeThinline is best when usedwith other GoldenEdge MDFP anel shapes may bemanufactured withoutsteaming by laminatingGoldenEdge Thinline. Referto table for minimumbending radii types of woodworking glues are compatible withGoldenEdge Thinline including waterborne glues like PVA,if used to manufacturers recommendations.

The resulting dimensional movement maybecome noticeable where the floor covering bridges theGoldenEdge Thinline some cases, the joins may be highlighted by the effectsof glancing light on the floor for Floors/Underlay for Floor CoveringsWooden Floors (6mm recommended)

6 GoldenEdge Thinline is suitable for overlaying timber, particleboard, plywood, MDF, fibre-cement sheet and concrete floorsto provide a flat, uniform, indent-resistant base for resilie ntsheet and til e floor coverings including semi-ri gid PVC, cork,rubber, linoleum, cushioned vinyl and textile floor Thinline must only be installed over floorswhich are adequately ventilated and where there are noindications of dampness. The cause of moisture must becorrected and the floor allowed to ventilators must provide a clear, cross flow of airbeneath the floor so that any excessive moisture vapour isremoved from the subfloor area.

7 Excess moisture anddampness can lead to the distortion and possible decay offlooring members and excessive movement of theGoldenEdge ventilation is particularly important whereimpervious floor coverings are used, as they restrict theescape of moisture through the some circumstances, a moisture impervious membrane,such as polyethylene film or bitumen impregnated felt, maybe used to cover the ground beneath the floor to retardmoisture further information on subfloor ventilation contactyour normal climatic conditi ons, GoldenEdge Thinline maybe used direct from the pack, however, best results will beachieved when the product is loose lai d on the floor 24 hoursbefore fixing.

8 This will allow the material to equilibrate itsmoisture content with the site practice of loose laying the board for 24 hours is stronglyrecommended where there is any doubt on the adequacyof the subfloor Thinline Underlay is not suitable for theapplication of water proofing membranes such as thoseused in showers and page 6 FURNITURE &FITTINGSNo. 3208038 Lining Exposed Beam Ceilings (6mm minimum)To retain the integrity of GoldenEdge Thinline both surfacesand all edges must be pre-primed before between the rafters after the roof covering is laid, isthe preferred to wet weather must be avoided.

9 Therefore ifGoldenEdge Thinline must be laid on top of rafters theexposed interior ceiling should be laid progressively withthe exterior and Plastic Sheeting Surfacing:Satisfactory adhesion by cold cured adhesives rely on keyingof the surface of GoldenEdge Thinline by light sanding. Itis essential that a balancing of surfacing be provided onboth surfaces to avoid board of GoldenEdge Thinline on one surface alters thebalance of the material to absorb moisture, therefore therisk of board distortion is high.

Floor nails must bepunched below the floorboard Thinline is sufficiently rigid to bridge minorirregularities in the floor surface.
