Question 1

What is Americana by Uniboard?

Accepted Answer

Americana is a synchronized embossed TFL panel from Uniboard's Origins 2026-2027. Using Embossed-in-Register (EIR) technology, the surface texture precisely follows the printed woodgrain pattern — creating a realistic look and feel where every knot, grain line, and pore is tactilely matched. The melamine surface is thermally fused to a particleboard core. Uniboard is a leading Canadian TFL manufacturer.

Question 2

What sizes does Americana come in?

Accepted Answer

Americana is available in standard North American panel formats: (1) Standard 4' × 8' at 1220 × 2440mm — the most common size for cabinet shops. (2) Wide 5' × 8' at 1530 × 2440mm for tall cabinetry and large paneling. Both formats are ¾" (18mm) thick. NAF (No Added Formaldehyde) core is available.

Question 3

Is Americana scratch resistant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Americana features a melamine-resin surface rated per NEMA LD 3 for scratch and abrasion resistance. The surface also resists staining from common household substances. Uniboard panels are designed for daily use in kitchen, bathroom, and commercial environments.

Question 4

What panel sizes does Uniboard offer?

Accepted Answer

Uniboard manufactures panels in 4' × 8' (1220 × 2440mm) and 5' × 8' (1530 × 2440mm) formats. All panels are ¾" (18mm) thick on industrial-grade particleboard core. Select décors are available with NAF (No Added Formaldehyde) core for projects requiring the strictest emission standards. Uniboard produces in Canada with reliable North American lead times.

Question 5

What edge banding options are available for Uniboard panels?

Accepted Answer

Uniboard panels pair with color-matched ABS edgebanding in three sizes: 1mm × 23mm standard for production edgebanders. 0.5mm × 23mm pre-glued for iron-on application. 2mm × 23mm heavy-duty for commercial applications. Uniboard maintains a comprehensive edgebanding program that matches their full décor catalog including synchronized textures.

Question 6

Are Uniboard panels suitable for kitchen cabinets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Uniboard TFL is one of the most widely used cabinet surfaces in Canada and the northeastern United States. The melamine surface is scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and durable for daily kitchen use. Edges must be sealed with ABS edgebanding to protect the core from moisture. Uniboard's NAF core option exceeds all North American formaldehyde emission requirements.

Question 7

How do I clean and maintain Uniboard panels?

Accepted Answer

For daily cleaning, wipe with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or diluted isopropyl alcohol. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and acetone. For synchronized or textured surfaces, use a soft brush to clean grain grooves. Rinse with clean water and dry to prevent water spots. Do not place hot items directly on the surface.

Question 8

What certifications do Uniboard panels carry?

Accepted Answer

Uniboard panels are CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI compliant. They hold SCS Indoor Advantage Gold certification — one of the most stringent indoor air quality standards for commercial and institutional projects. NAF (No Added Formaldehyde) options are available. Uniboard manufactures in Canada and is committed to sustainable forestry and manufacturing practices.
