Medite – FR
SierraPine flame retardant Medite® FR is made with a formaldehyde free adhesive system and is designed for critical applications where Class 1 flame retardant material is required. Medite FR has a low flame spread and smoke development as well as extremely low VOC emissions. During the manufacturing process, the flame retardant additive is blended with the fiber throughout the panel. This process delivers superior performance versus topical flame retardant applications. In addition, Medite FR can be machined, cut, sanded, and grooved without compromising the flame retardance.

CELTEC® EXPANDED RIGID FOAM PVC/ RADIUS APPLICATIONS
Celtec Displayboard is a foamed polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheet whose extraordinary combination of features makes it ideal for signage, exhibits, store displays, POP, Kiosks, screen printing and more. The surface is a smooth matte finish that makes it ideal to paint or laminate to secondary substrates. Celtec also has good screw and staple retention which makes it ideal for stage prop design, cabinetry and other wood replacement projects.

Sheets are tough, high-strength and lightweight, and can be ordered in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses and colors. Celtec sheets are free of lead, cadmium, barium and zinc. . .and have passed all three UL 1975 requirements. Celtec is recommended for industrial and commercial signage. It readily accepts virtually any form of graphic overlay (print, paint and photo mounting). Celtec is also easy to cut and shape, making it a strong choice for three-dimensional exhibits, displays and stage sets.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Lightweight Celtec is easy to handle, easy to work with.
• Low Flammability Celtec meets UL94 5V, UL 1975 and has a flame spread of 20 according to ASTM E84.
• Water resistant Celtec has a closed cell structure and has extremely low water absorption values.
• Surface Celtec’s smooth matte surface is ideal for graphics, printing and laminating.
• Weatherability Celtec is more color-fast than other foam PVC products.
• Strength Celtec has an excellent strength to weight ratio as shown in the screw and staple pull test data.
• Thermal Conductivity Celtec has excellent insulating characteristics.
• Safety Celtec contains no lead, cadmium or zinc.
• Maximum 30mm thickness

Valchromat
Engineered colored wood

Wood fiber panel colored throughout.
Innovative because it was the first product of its kind in the market and unique for its exclusive physical properties that set it aside and make Valchromat the star product of our company.

Thicknesses:
8mm, 19mm, other thicknesses available as special order (Please call for available stock information)

Colors:

note: the bottom right corner simulates the effect of a regular lacquer on Valchromat’s color. This serves only as an example since there are many lacquers that can cause different effects. In short, Valchromat has many advantageous properties that make its use easier and an economical solution for various projects (color throughout, non toxic, moisture resistance, great mechanical strength). But what really matters most is its unique look that keeps attracting more and more attention worldwide. Valchromat’s looks can be pretty versatile since it accepts many kinds of finishing: Lacquers (matt, glossy, water based, polyurethane, UV resistant, fire retardant…) Oils, Waxes, Or simply leave it raw if it’s an area where you’re not worried about stains…

Pattern Number
Every pattern has an identifying number such as “SOT-001”, “W1208” or “POP001”. The pattern choice is the second step after
choosing a material for the core. There is a full page dedicated to each pattern online @ www.interlam-design.com, complete
with pattern characteristics and photos of the actual product.

Pattern Direction- EXTREMELY CRITICAL!!!
Most patterns can be produced in either vertical or horizontal orientation. Referring to the illustration at right, a pattern is said to be horizontal if the tool marks run generally the short direction and vertical if the tool marks run generally in the long direction. Please note that the vertical and horizontal designations have nothing to do with the installed orientation. For multiple panel layouts or panels that are approximately square, orientation should be indicated in an attached layout sketch. The direction of some patterns is not always obvious, so please refer to individual pattern photos in the catalogue to determine the preferred orientation.

Pattern Repeat Type
Most patterns can be manufactured so that the pattern continues smoothly from panel to panel in all directions creating a monolithic appearance. Depending on the pattern and customer requirements, this continuity can be achieved in a number of different ways. The way in which the pattern continues from panel to panel is called the pattern “repeat type.” The repeat type for each pattern is indicated in the pattern detail section of the catalogue. The different repeat types are discussed below.

Continuous Flow Pattern Type - A continuous flow pattern does not necessarily repeat in any direction. This type of pattern is generated by computer to flow over a project area of any size and requiring any number of panels. Each panel is unique and is labeled in order to simplify assembly in the field. When joined together the panels create a monolithic appearance.

When ordering continuous flow panels, the customer must provide a layout indicating the dimensions of the project area as well as the dimensions of all of the individual panels. Most patterns are available as continuous flow. Contact Interlam, Inc. for specific applications.

Repeating Pattern Type - Repeating patterns allow the customer to fill a project area of any size using identical standard 4’ X 8’
panels. The standard panels fit together top-to-bottom and side-to-side creating a monolithic appearance. In the illustration below, 5 identical repeating panels are shown to match on all edges. Repeating panels are only available in full 4’ X 8’ sheets AND A LIMITED NUMBER OF PATTERNS IN 5’ X 8’. If nonstandard panel sizes are required, even for a repeating pattern type, panels must be ordered as continuous flow at an additional cost.

Single Panel Pattern Type - Single panels are available as shown in the catalogue photos, or as a mirror image. By mirroring across the panel seams, a continuous project area can be filled with a pattern reminiscent of book matched veneers. Single panels are available in standard 4’ X 8’ sizes. Many patterns can be mirrored for custom applications. Contact Interlam, Inc. for specific applications.

Fixed Set Pattern Type - Fixed sets are two or more non-repeating 4’ X 8’ panels that fit together only one way. Single panels
may be selected out of a set, or the entire set may be used in a project. Fixed set panels may also be mirrored.

A-B Repeat Type - This type of pattern repeats every other panel. Because of this an “A” and a “B” version of the pattern is manufactured and labeled accordingly. The two versions of the panel are then alternated in the final installation in order to achieve a monolithic appearance.

Installation Methods
Due to the manufacturing methods used to produce Art Diffusion, most panels will have a slight “bow” or “warping” in them. This is considered normal and can easily be removed using the installation methods below. If a higher degree of flatness is required, Baltic Birch Plywood can be bonded to back of panels prior to manufacture. This reduces but will not completely eliminate warping. The maximum size of Baltic Birch is 5’ x 10’.

Z-Clips
Z-Clips may only be used if there is sufficient material thickness to allow screw attachment of the clips to the Art Diffusion panel. Ideally, the panels should be specified thick enough or with a thick enough backer to accommodate the screws that are to be used. Panels of minimum recommended thickness can be used for Z-Clip installation, but the installer must first glue wood screw cleats to the back of the panel. Z-Clips should run the full panel width to insure adequate support across the entire panel.

Construction Mastic
A high quality construction mastic such as “Liquid Nails” or a “PL” Mastic such as “PL Premium Polyurethane” www.stickwithpl.com can be applied to the back of the panels and then pressed onto a structurally sound surface (follow construction mastic manufacturer’s application instructions). Panels must be mechanically held in place until mastic is completely set.

Direct Screw Attachment
Art Diffusion may be attached to a supporting structure by screwing directly into the panel back. As is the case with Z -Clip installation, the panels should be specified thick enough or with a thick enough backer to accommodate the screws that are to be used.
