Specialized terms from A–Z
A
ABS thick edges - (ABS = Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
- ABS thick edges are 1, 2 or 4 mm thick. By applying
these thick edges, rounding of the edges with radii from
2-4 mm can be achieved
C
Ceramics - are industrially produced of high-quality porcelain
row materials: kaolin, clay feldspart and quartz. When
firing temperatures reach approximately 1,250°C, the ceramic
body creates a lasting compound with the glaze that gives
the product a high mechanical consistency and a cohesive
glass surface.
„Clou“ - The drainage and overflow system by Geberit
without a visible overflow opening is supplied with the
mineral cast washbasins with vantiy tops. A plastic tube
divided in two parallel chambers is hidden behind the
washbasin, directly under the top edge of the possible
water level. If the maximum water level in the washbasin
is reached, the overflowing water drains out through the
two tube chamber.
H
HPL panels - (high pressure laminate panels) The HPL
panel is often referred to as Resopal ® ; is made of a phenolic
resin core with a thickness of 0.6 to 1 mm. This core is treated
with a one - two melamine resin laminate panels. Adding
another overlay increases the maximum abrasion resistance for
this panel. HPL is mainly used for cover plates and vanity units,
but also for high-quality fronts.
M
M Seal of Quality - The burgbad bathroom furniture has
been awarded with the seal of quality by Möbel e.V.
(Registered Association of Furniture Manufacturers). The
Gütegemeinschaft Möbel is a federation of furniture
manufacturers and suppliers whose products are tested
by an independent testing facility, the Landesgewerbeanstalt
(State Trade Agency).
MDF - (medium density fiberboard) - The medium density
fiberboard (MDF) is made of wood fiber that are produced
in a mechanical and chemical manner. The particularly fine
surface of the MDF is perfect for secondary processing.
The edges can be contoured and lacquered.
Melamine edging - Melamine edging is approx. 0.4 mm
thick and is produced with the same colour and structure
as the surface. The melamine edging is fixed to the edge
of the particle board with PUR hot melt adhesive and
milled level to flush.
Melamine panels - Melamine panels are particle boards
that are treated with a melamine paper (impregnated with
80 to 140g of melamine resin) The lamination has an isoluble
bond with the particle board by using a melamine coating,
high pressure and heat. The surface structure (matte, glossy,
porous structure, pearl structure etc.) is determined by the
type of pressing plates. The colouring is determined by
printing.
Miter cut - The corner connection of two components
that are cut at an angle and the joined is known as a
mitre cut. The advantage of a miter cut is the greater
contact or connection surface. This increases the stability
of the components. Furthermore, the butt joints of both
pieces meet at an edge and is therefore less noticeable.
P
Particle board (E1) - Particle boards are among the most
important basic materials of modern furniture manufacturing.
To produce particle boards, pieces of waste are not used;
only specially chipped natural wood, primarily spruce,
pine and beech are processed.
Particle boards are divided into emission categories E1,
E2 and E3. The classification of the boards depends on
their formaldehyde emissions. For the E1 particle board,
the formaldehyde evaporation may have a maximum
0.1 mg/ m 3 . The E1 particle board with this emission
category does not pose a health hazard.
PUR lacquer (Polyurethane lacquer) - Today only 2-
component PUR lacquers are used to paint bathroom
furniture fronts. Polyurethane lacquers are among the
reaction lacquers; that means, they harden by using
chemical reactions. PUR lacquers are particularly hard,
abrasion resistant and repel water, oils and chemicals.
After gelation, the material is then polished. The thorough
hardening procedure takes place during this secondary
processing.
S
Solid wood, solid wood edges - Solid wood is the most
elegant and most expensive variant in the construction
of furniture. Solid wood edges are also partly used for
furniture made of veneers.
T
Thermoform front (Thermoforming) - MDFs are used
as the backing material for thermoform fronts. The
backing material is first milled exactly to the format and
contoured all the way around. Contouring the surfaces is
also possible. In the so-called membrane pressing
procedure, the three-dimensional components are
contoured, then coated with a thermoplastic foil using an
adhesive and pressure, heat and vacuum techniques are
also applied. During this process, it is possible to completely
coat the entire surface and all four narrow sides of the front.
V
Veneer and veneer edges - Veneer is referred to as 0.5 -
2.5 mm thick layers of wood which can be produced
using various slicing techniques. Furniture with wood
veneers are covered on the edges either only with veneers
are covered on the edges either only with veneer or with
solid wood edges. Normal veneer edges are used for this
with a thickness of 0.6 mm or veneer edges with up to 3 mm
thickness according to the radius of the front. The veneer
edges are surface-treated along with the veneer surface,
that is to say polished, stained, glazed and lacquered.
Mineral cast - The basic material of mineral cast products
is a composite material made of natural stone powder
and polyester resin as a adhesive agent. The surface
consists of a high-gloss polyester lacquer. The advantage
of the material is that it is easy to clean and if damage
should occur, it can be repaired.
