Question 5

What edge banding options are available for Stevenswood panels?

Accepted Answer

Stevenswood panels pair with color-matched ABS edgebanding in two standard profiles: 1mm × 23mm for production edgebanders and 0.4mm × 23mm pre-glued for iron-on application. Color and texture matching is maintained across the full Stevenswood décor range. ABS edgebanding is PVC-free.

Question 6

Are Stevenswood panels suitable for kitchen cabinets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stevenswood TFL panels are widely used for kitchen cabinetry across Canada and the United States. The melamine surface is scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and durable for daily kitchen use. 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.

Question 8

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.
