Description
Riga Rhomb is designed for technically demanding applications, where high wear resistance and good anti-slip properties are required.
Features and benefits:
- Highly wear-resistant and anti-slip surface ensuring safety underfoot.
- Weather-resistant gluing and water-resistant surface.
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
- Durable and heavy-duty.
- Surface is resistant to commonly used chemicals and surface impact, easy to clean.
- Aesthetic and visually attractive.
- Sustainable product with a long life span.
Further processing:
Riga Rhomb can be further processed according to customer's specification with cut-to-size, CNC, drilling, milling, jointing, edge machining, assembling in sets.
Surface properties:
The rhomboid pattern overlay improves panel resistance against mechanical damage and wear, whilst providing a decorative appearance. The surface resists abrasion, and commonly used chemicals, and is weather and moisture resistant. Rhomb Heavy with a wear resistant film significantly improves abrasion resistance. Riga Wood experts will advise the most appropriate overlay depending on the end use.
