Appearance
Medite Premier retains the light tan colour of the wood fibre from which it is manufactured.
Machining/finishing
Cut or profiled edges of Medite Premier should first be sanded with 150- 240 grit, prior to painting. The recommended coating system for the edges is to seal, prime and topcoat with de-nibbing in between coats to produce a smooth finish. The desired finish on the face can be achieved by application of a base-coat and top-coat. If water-based coatings are used, it is important that forced drying or quick-drying systems be applied in order to maintain the quality of surface.
Conditioning
The moisture content of Medite Premier is in the range of 7% +/- 2% at the time of manufacture. Changes in dimensions of wood and wood-based sheet materials occur due to changes in relative humidity. For this reason, Medite Premier panels should be conditioned to the final environment for two to three days before cutting and fixing.
Fire Rating
Medite Premier is expected to achieve a fire class rating of Euro Class D within the European classifications.
Authority
Medite Premier is manufactured under an NSAI registered I.S. EN ISO 9001:2008 quality management system.
