Roseburg Forest Products and PanelArtz announced a partnership to bring European decorative panel technology to the North American market.
PanelArtz Inc., located in Kent, Wash., operates the first and only fully automated PET lamination facility in North America. Popularized in Europe, PET is an environmentally friendly, low maintenance, protective finish that offers exceptional style, durability, and scratch- and fade-resistance for interior applications. Using state-of-the-art technology, PanelArtz applies a high gloss or super matte PET finish to the surface of composite wood panels for a modern, elegant and sophisticated design aesthetic.
Under the new partnership, PanelArtz PET finishes are now available exclusively from two Roseburg product lines: Roseburg Arreis® MDF, a no-added formaldehyde, recycled, sustainable MDF panel that is highly specified for all types of interior casework, millwork, cabinetry and furniture applications, and Roseburg Duramine® Thermally Fused Laminate decorative panels.
“Prior to this agreement, builders and consumers had to rely on imported panels to achieve the sleek, contemporary look only PET finished panels provide,” said Jim Buffington, Roseburg’s Business Director for Composite Panels.
