PVC- coated doors
PVC-coated MDF parts can be ordered according to your dimensions, based on the size and thickness of the material we offer. We use materials with a thickness of 16 mm and 18 mm. The PVC coating can be single-coloured PVC film or wood imitation PVC film.
Heat tolerance of doors with PVC coating
The doors meet the requirements set for furniture doors on the basis of SFS, EN, and DIN standards.
The heat tolerance of doors with PVC coating is -40 to +85 º C.
Furniture doors can be installed in cold rooms, but not in places where the temperature drops below -40 ºC.
Check the temperature of your oven’s housing prior to installation. If the temperature of the housing rises above the recommended limit for furniture doors, protector strips must be installed. (EN standard 60335-2-6: if the oven works at a temperature of 200 ºC for one hour, the maximum allowed temperature of the outer metal surface of the oven is 85 ºC.)
MDF furniture door with PVC coating
- Materials used in the manufacturing process: MDF board (Medium Density Fibreboard) is a dense and hard fibreboard made of homogeneous wood fibers and glue using pressure and heat. In its products, Balteco Mööbel uses E1-compliant board.
The MFD boards are made in Germany. The back side is covered with melamine.
Surface treatment: PVC film. Thickness 0.35 – 0.6 mm. Countries of origin: Italy, Germany and Japan.
The film has been UV-treated and covered with a scratch-resistant varnish.
Glue is sprayed onto the treated door blank and the film is then attached to the door’s surface at high temperature and pressure. Using a vacuum membrane press gives the door maximum temperature tolerance and durability.
Use
- There are no special requirements for the storage of MDF furniture doors. However, the doors must not come into contact with water.
- Be careful when handling the doors.
- MDF furniture doors are sensitive to impact, especially around the corners and edges.
- When making holes for a handle or hinges, make sure your worktop is clean. Debris on the worktop can easily scratch the door’s surface. Special care must be taken when handling varnished doors.
- Remove the protective film from glossy PVC-coated doors.
- You can eliminate defects caused by minor wear and impacts with colour correction. If the painted surface is damaged down to the surface of the board, the door is highly sensitive to moisture. In that case, we recommend replacing the door.
- If the PVC coating is damaged, it cannot be replaced. In that case, we recommend replacing the door.
Disposal
- The products can be recycled, and applicable regulations must be adhered to when disposing of them.
- Hydrogen chloride may be produced when PVC-coated doors are burned at low temperatures, so it is therefore not recommended to burn the product at home. It is also not recommended to burn painted furniture doors at home.
- PVC film is plastic waste.
