Product specifications
What can you use Panel2 for?
Panel2 structural boards are strong, resistant to higher humidity and due to their easy-to-use format easy to transport and process. No wonder you encounter them in the most diverse applications.
Wall cladding
With Panel2 the mounting of a solid and smooth surface is a breeze. Big enough to quickly cover large surfaces, and at the same time, convenient to carry and process.
Flat roofs
Panel2 is suitable as a base for high-quality roof sealing systems such as bitumen.
Roof overhang/awnings
Panel2 can also be used in damp areas or outdoors. As long as there is no risk of direct wetting.
Pitched roofs
The ideal surface for roof constructions. With tongue and groove on four sides, Panel2 boards are easy to assemble.
Inner floors
Its large load-bearing capacity and uniform surface makes Panel2 a solid basis to be covered with carpeting, vinyl, parquet or laminate.
Attic floors
Thanks to the handy size you can easily carry the boards yourself. Under your arm, problem-free through stairwells, corridors and doors.
Renovation
Maintain a healthy living climate. Panel2 is produced without the addition of formaldehyde.
Furniture
Maintain a healthy living climate. Panel2 is produced without the addition of formaldehyde.
Timber frame construction
You can build on Panel2. Without weaknesses and knots and with a greater constant strength and rigidity than plywood.
Creative handymen come up with more and more new and unexpected uses for Panel2. Look here for inspiring examples.
Isn't this a pretty picture?
Panel2 is a real lightweight powerhouse. The boards have a large bearing capacity and a uniform surface, without knots or weak spots. At the same time they are easy to handle and process.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure the Panel2-boards are positioned dry and level. Storage for longer periods of time? Cover the boards with a tarpaulin and ensure adequate ventilation. Thus you prevent condensation moisture from getting into the boards. Leave the boards at least 48 hours before processing in the area where you will be using them.
Maximum load-bearing
| Allowed distributed load | ||
| PANEL2® 18 mm | ||
| Number of beams | Beam distance e (mm) | Fv (kN/m²) |
| 4 | 567 | 4,25 |
| 5 | 425 | 8,00 |
Deflection
- Deflection at characteristic load, taking into account creep deformation (distortion factor kdef = 2.25) ≤ 1/200e.
- Initial deflection at variable medium long-term load bearing period ≤ 1/300th (medium long-term = 1 week to 6 months).
- Deflection under quasi permanent load bearing ≤ 1/200e.
Values calculated according to Euro code 5.
- Use moisture-resistant foil if there is a risk of rising damp (for example if you use Panel2 as a floor base on the ground floor).
- Apply PVAC-adhesive (white wood glue) to the tongue and groove and connect the boards with a tapping block and hammer.
- Saw the tongue away along the walls.
- Leave an expansion joint along the walls free of at least 10 mm (or 2 mm per meter of boarding for areas wider than 5 metres).
- Are you attaching the boards on beams? Leave the short board edge resting on a supporting joist.
- Attach the boards with (preferably galvanized or stainless steel) nails or screws (minimum 8 mm from the board edge.
- Keep a distance between screws/nails of 150 mm on the board edges and 300 mm on the intermediate beams.
