Construction solid wood panel FINGER-JOINT

for interiorfor exterior fittingspine

Solid single layer wooden board conformed by pieces of Radiata pine wood reduced longitudinally but assembled by the joint known as finger-joint enabling the wood to reach the length requested by the client. Afterwards, the pieces of wood are connected and glued together edge to edge and or on edge based on an aqueous dispersion-based adhesive of polyvinyl acetate. The manufacturing process is completed by longitudinal cut of the piece to normalized length in addition to the item’s sanding. The international term that used is the acronym SWP (S = solid; W = wood; P = panel). A/A Grade: both faces are clear, free of knots. This is reason why the strip is cut into small pieces to afterwards join them together again along the longitudinal plane: the result is a completely clean board. Scientific name: Pinus Radiata D.
