Lightweight panels for van conversions: What does ‘calibration’ mean in relation to multiplex panels? Why are lightweight panels calibrated?
The calibration of lightweight panels involves the precise sanding of each individual panel to a uniform thickness. At the same time, minor irregularities on the panel’s surface are removed.
For that, lightweight panels are passed through a special calibration grinding machine once again after production.
👍 Additional calibration of raw panels is regarded as an important quality factor in panel production.
💯 You don’t notice this sort of calibration straight away, but you’ll realise it while you’re making furniture:
- Every lightweight panel is exactly the same thickness.
- You don’t need to compensate for tolerances.
- Everything fits perfectly, down to the millimetre.
- The clearance dimensions are perfect.
- The coating is free from any unevenness. It is smooth and even.
👉 Conclusion:
Additional calibration of the removal panels is a sign of quality. This saves you hassle, extra work and money when removing them.
