Which DecorPanel suits your project?

One print technique, nine boards. The base material determines where the panel can go: chipboard for indoors, aluminium composite for wet rooms and facades, solid aluminium for tabletops and shipbuilding.

Back coating

On the reverse: chipboard has a white top layer on the back.

Six coatings, each with its own function

The coating protects the print against scratches and can give the panel a tactile or functional added value. All coatings are easy to maintain and resistant to cleaning agents.

Coating What it does Available on
Miniperl The standard finish: a matt mini-pearl texture. all variants
Stone texture Tactile and visible stone texture that enhances the print. all variants
Wood texture Tactile and visible linear wood texture; gives the panel more character. all variants
High gloss Extra high resolution and deep colours, suitable for thorough cleaning. Strong with polished marble decors. Original and Spa
UV protective Protects print and material against discolouration by sunlight; makes the panel suitable for outdoors. Spa, Spa FR, Facade and Aluminium
Antibacterial Tested for antibacterial effect according to ISO 22196:2011 and certified by ISEGA: safe to use where HACCP applies. Spa, Spa FR, Facade and Aluminium

The graffiti resistance is in the coating itself: graffiti gets no grip on it and can be removed with aggressive cleaning agents without damaging the print.

Installation and finishing

Step 1
Adhesive, pop rivets or battens

The panels are fitted with adhesive, pop rivets or a batten hanging system, indoors and on the facade.

Step 2
Seamless in wet rooms

Seal the panels against each other and the joint is virtually invisible. Without grout, bacteria stand no chance.

Step 3
Seamless corners with a V-groove

Spa, Spa FR and Facade can be bent: a V-groove in the back of the sheet and you fold it inwards or outwards.

Step 4
Ready-made or unfinished

Sawn to size, milled to shape, thickened and finished with ABS edging, also with rounded corners. Interior builders also order the sheet unfinished.

Frequently asked questions about DecorPanel

Where has DecorPanel been used?

Among others in the renovation of the Dutch Railways stations Hoogeveen, Almelo de Riet and Coevorden: facade cladding with photo print, fire safe and with anti-graffiti coating. View the NS projects (in Dutch).

Is DecorPanel a sticker on a board?

No. DecorPanel has no stickers: we print directly onto the material and seal the print under the coating. So there is no edge for picking fingers to get hold of.
