Vicwood Eco Energy Panel

Vicwood Eco Energy Panel is a sandwich-structured panel comprised of an XPS (Extruded Polystyrene Foam) core and plywood face and back all bonded together with adhesive. Its light weight, moisture resistance, acoustic and thermal insulation and resistance to compression establish the product as the third generation in composite boards. Vicwood Eco Energy Panel is suitable for use in doors, wall panels, ceiling panels, roofing, work tops, partitions and cabinets, making it an ideal substitution for block board, finger-jointed lumber and multi-layer panels.

Note to door manufacturers

Sliding door manufacturers like our panel because it is lightweight and reduces the weight of supporting metal structures, saving further costs. Moreover, its structure is more stable than honey comb core doors.

Interior door manufacturers like it because it has a solid core giving consumers more psychological comfort than a door with a honeycomb paper core. Furthermore, it keeps away noise and heat (or the cold depending on what it is you want to avoid).

For interior doors, we offer thicknesses of 30mm, 33mm, 38mm and 40mm. Lock boards (for fastening metal hinges and handles) are provided inside the panel. The face and back are made of MDF, plywood or a combination of the two. Helical nails (which are used on honeycomb paper panels) can be used on Vicwood Eco Energy Panels.

Standard thicknesses
  • 18mm, 25mm, 30mm, 33mm, 38mm and up to 150mm.
Standard sizes
  • 2' x 8' (640mm x 2500mm)
  • 3' x 7' (945mm x 2200mm)
  • 4' x 8' (1250mm x 2500mm)
  • Custom sizes are also possible.
Environmental effects
  • The formaldehyde-free emission rate of the product is in conformity with European standard E-0.
  • XPS is used in its core, reducing the consumption of wood by 65%.
  • Hazardous toxic substances emitted in the burning of its core are substantially less than those in the burning of wood.
Flame resistance
  • Available by special enquiry.
  • The flame resistance of its core conforms to European standard E, and to B1 grade, Standard GB8624-2006 of the Chinese National Standard.
Thermal insulation
  • The heat conductivity of its core at 0.033W/m2 K. is lower than that of wood, making it highly effective for thermal insulation.
Water resistance
  • Its performance regarding water resistance is better than that of natural wood, allowing it to block moisture infiltration while maintaining dimension stability.
Acoustic resistance
  • The closed-pore structure of its XPS core, when combined with wood, gives a highly effective acoustic resistance.
Specific gravity
  • Due to its low density core (33kg/m3), the finished product has a smaller specific gravity than its solid wood counter-part.
Compression strength
  • The product is able to resist compressions of up to 500KPa making it more flexible than its solid wood counter-part.
Surface evenness
  • Engineered or natural wood is used for the face and back of the panel giving it a flat, even and aesthetic surface. When used in interior furnishings, the product provides a comfortable wood feeling.
Machining
  • Light weight, with thicknesses ranging from 18mm to 150mm, it is easy to machine. Defects such as core gap or void do not occur.
Installation
  • With a wide range of applications possible - partitions, work tops, flooring, ceiling panels, roofing, etc. - its light weight allows for rapid installation and, consequently, high efficiency.
Special care
  • Avoid exposure to sunshine and humidity.
  • Use in temperatures below 75 degrees Celsius only.
  • Bond with glue only.
