Question 1

What is Graphite TM Metallic by StyleLite?

Accepted Answer

Graphite TM Metallic is a metallic-finish panel from StyleLite's Metallics collection by EGR Decor. The metallic acrylic or PET film creates an authentic brushed-metal appearance on an MDF substrate. Designed for accent applications and contemporary design statements.

Question 2

What sizes does Graphite TM Metallic come in?

Accepted Answer

Graphite TM Metallic is available in standard 4' × 8' panels (1220 × 2440mm) at 18mm (¾") thickness on MDF substrate. Panels are single-sided with a finished face and backing sheet.

Question 3

Is Graphite TM Metallic scratch resistant?

Accepted Answer

Graphite TM Metallic features a polymer surface with scratch-resistant properties. Care should be taken during fabrication — protective film should remain on the surface until installation is complete.

Question 4

What is the difference between TruGloss and TruMatte?

Accepted Answer

TruGloss uses a PMMA (acrylic) surface that creates a mirror-like high-gloss reflective finish — similar to UV-lacquered panels but delivered as a ready-to-fabricate board. TruMatte uses a PET film surface that creates a soft-touch anti-fingerprint matte finish — fingerprints don't show, and the tactile quality is similar to supermatte lacquer. Both are bonded to MDF substrate. TruMatte is more practical for high-touch areas like kitchen islands; TruGloss creates more visual drama.

Question 5

What edge banding options are available for StyleLite panels?

Accepted Answer

StyleLite panels pair with color-matched ABS edgebanding: 1mm × 23mm in matching gloss or matte finish for production edgebanders. 0.4mm × 23mm pre-glued for iron-on application. For TruGloss panels, high-gloss matched edgebanding is essential for a cohesive appearance. PUR glue is recommended for seamless edges on gloss panels.

Question 6

Are StyleLite panels suitable for kitchen cabinets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. StyleLite panels are designed for kitchen cabinet fronts, wardrobe doors, and furniture. TruMatte panels are especially practical for kitchens due to their anti-fingerprint surface — ideal for island fronts and drawer faces. TruGloss panels create a striking visual impact but require more careful handling. Panels are not rated for direct heat contact. Edges should be sealed to protect the MDF core.

Question 7

How do I clean and maintain StyleLite panels?

Accepted Answer

Wipe with a soft damp microfiber cloth and mild detergent. For gloss surfaces, avoid circular motions — wipe in straight lines to minimize micro-scratch visibility. For matte surfaces, the anti-fingerprint coating makes maintenance easier. Use diluted isopropyl alcohol for stubborn stains. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, acetone, and bleach. Do not place hot items on the surface.

Question 8

What certifications do StyleLite panels carry?

Accepted Answer

StyleLite panels by EGR Decor are E1 compliant for formaldehyde emissions and CARB Phase 2 compliant. EGR Decor manufactures in North America with quality management systems in place. The polymer veneer technology provides a consistent, factory-finished alternative to on-site lacquering — eliminating VOC exposure during fabrication.
