Accepted Answer

Yes. Stevenswood TFL panels are widely used for kitchen cabinetry across Canada and the United States. The Aqualence collection offers moisture-resistant core specifically designed for wet areas like kitchen sinks and dishwasher surrounds. Edges must always be sealed with ABS edgebanding to protect the particleboard core from moisture ingress.

Question 7

How do I clean and maintain Stevenswood panels?

Accepted Answer

Wipe with a soft damp cloth and mild household detergent for daily cleaning. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or 50% isopropyl alcohol. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and acetone. Do not place hot items directly on the surface. For textured or EIR surfaces, a soft-bristle brush helps clean residue from grain grooves. Rinse and dry after cleaning.

What certifications do Stevenswood panels carry?

Accepted Answer

Stevenswood panels are CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI compliant for formaldehyde emissions — required for all composite wood products sold in the United States. Panels are manufactured in Canada.
