It is important to understand that there may be visual imperfections or inconsistency in the surface of the particleboard which will be visible after clear finishing. The finished result may or may not meet customer expectations. This is primarily in the form of dark ‘scuffing’ patches in the surface which is inherent in the move to a fine surface board (see file attached called "Clear Finishing Indicative Images" for indicative images). It is important to note that there are no performance issues; this is exclusively an aesthetic concern that customers must be aware of.
Trade Essentials® Particleboard is the new brand name for the Superflake products.
