Edge-Glued Pine Panels

Choose quality in raw materials and quality in manufacturing

Durable Edge-Glued Panels Rooted in Northern Swedish Sandy Soil

Lamtech’s edge-glued panels are strong, beautiful, and durable. By sourcing pine wood grown in northern Swedish sandy soil, you get a timber material from trees that have grown slowly and have tight growth rings. This results in a product that is straight, resistant to cracking, and rarely warps. The slow growth rate also means the wood has high density. We always purchase timber with a low moisture content of 9-14 percent, which further enhances the strength and durability. Simply put, you get high quality in all our wood products.

What is Edge-Glued Panels?

Edge-glued panels are made from wooden lamellas that are glued together into a wood sheet using high heat and great pressure. This creates construction and wood materials well-suited for joinery, casings, façade panels, decks, and stairs, just to name a few examples. At Lamtech, you have the opportunity to create edge-glued panels tailored to your needs, whether you require thinner or more massive panels or if you're looking for widths up to 1,310 millimeters. Whether you're a professional carpenter, a purchaser for a construction company, or a private individual, you are warmly welcome to contact us!

What are the Different Grades of Edge-Glued Panels?

Lamtech manufactures edge-glued panels according to the Swedish standard for furniture-grade edge-glued panels. This means that the edge-glued panels produced and manufactured by us come in different grades. Lamtech is a craft industry for wood where manual inspection is a natural part of the manufacturing process. Practically, this means that wood that has warped or does not meet the required quality is continuously removed during production. This ensures a more careful process and results in wood products that are rarely subject to complaints.
Currently, we offer three grades of our edge-glued panels. The most common are A, B, and C, where one side is usually a bit better than the other according to the pattern A/B, A/C, and B/C. You can also get equally good sides if your product or manufacturing requires it. We can accommodate most needs!
A-Grade
All forms of sound knots in unlimited quantities.
Tight, black knots, maximum 10 millimeters and up to ten per square meter.
Pith flecks may be present.

B-Grade
All forms of sound knots in unlimited quantities.
Tight, black knots, maximum 15 millimeters and up to twenty per square meter.
Tight pith, maximum length 20 millimeters and maximum width 5 millimeters.

C-Grade
All forms of sound knots in unlimited quantities.
All forms of black knots in unlimited quantities.
Cracks may be present.
Loose knots and resin pockets may be present.
Unlimited tight pith.
Blue stain and discoloration may occur.

How to Choose the Right Grade of Edge-Glued Panels?

The choice of grade depends on what is being manufactured. Here are some guidelines:
  • A/C Grade: Ideal for fine woodworking.
  • B/C Grade: Suitable for walls or interior ceilings. Also excellent for hobby projects.
Companies, carpentries, and manufacturing industries looking for a partner in edge-glued wood panels are always welcome to contact us for a preliminary discussion regarding volume, quality, and timeline. With us, you get a Swedish wood product that is sustainably produced, ensuring high quality throughout the entire production process.

Which Quality of Edge-Glued Panels is Best?

The best quality depends entirely on the type of product you need for your manufacturing. Lamtech currently delivers high-quality edge-glued panels to companies across the country and can customize both dimensions and thickness according to the volume your business requires. Here, you will find both craftsmanship expertise and a modern machinery setup to deliver that extra bit of excellence needed.

Why is Edge-Glued Panel Ideal for a Countertop?

Edge-glued panels made of pine and spruce are beautiful and durable. They create a countertop that can be sanded down if needed and, when oiled, can resist stains, water, and food residues. While Lamtech does not produce individual countertops, standard stock is always available.

What are MDF Boards?

MDF, or Medium Density Fibreboard, is a board made from wood fibers bonded together with synthetic resin adhesive, often urea-formaldehyde resin similar to that used in particle board. The wood fibers used in MDF are finely ground sawdust from softwood species. The process involves drying the sawdust, mixing it with the resin adhesive, and then pressing the mixture into panels under heat until the resin cures. This results in a dense and uniform panel with smooth surfaces on both sides.
MDF boards are commonly used in furniture making and woodworking due to their smooth finish and consistent density. However, a drawback of MDF is that the surface can deteriorate, especially under heat exposure, as the adhesive bond may weaken over time.
For a more naturally crafted and durable wood product in the long run, opting for artisan-crafted edge-glued panels from us may be a preferable choice.

What is HDF?

HDF, High Density Fibreboard, is a type of wood panel manufactured from wood fibers compressed under high heat and pressure in a mold, similar to MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard). The key distinction is HDF's significantly higher density and durability compared to MDF. HDF also contains synthetic resin adhesive. Lamtech utilizes HDF in the production of stair components, such as stringers and treads. In our manufacturing process, both the inner and outer sides of the components are laminated with HDF sheets, while the core remains pine. This ensures the product is durable, resilient, and easy to paint, while minimizing resin bleed-through from knots.
