Panel board Schuller Nippon Pro 2K 18mm – wood-based panel, 18 mm thickness

Schuller Nippon Pro 2K 18mm is a wood-based panel designed for furniture and interior applications. With an 18 mm thickness it provides a stable and flat substrate suitable for veneering, laminating or direct coatings. The panel is intended for use in cabinet carcasses, shelving, partitions and interior joinery where dimensional stability and a reliable surface are required. Schuller Nippon Pro 2K offers compatibility with common edge banding materials and mechanical fastenings, allowing straightforward assembly and finishing.

Advantages

The panel combines consistent thickness and good flatness to reduce finishing work and ensure accurate joinery. Its 18 mm core delivers structural support for shelves and carcass walls while remaining workable with standard woodworking tools. Surface compatibility with common laminates and veneers enables a range of decorative and protective finishes. Mechanical fastenings such as screws and dowels hold reliably in the panel, and edge treatments can be applied cleanly to conceal cut edges.

Suitable for

• Kitchen and bathroom cabinet carcasses
• Freestanding and built-in shelving units
• Interior partitions and office furniture
• Joinery elements requiring veneer, laminate or paint finishes

Key specifications

• Panel type: wood-based panel engineered for furniture use
• Thickness: 18 mm
• Surface: compatible with veneering, laminating and coating
• Edge treatment: suitable for edge banding
• Fastening: accepts standard mechanical fastenings (screws, dowels)
• Application: interior furniture and joinery

How to use

Cut and machine the panel using standard woodworking saws and routers, taking appropriate safety precautions. Prepare edges and faces prior to application of veneer, laminate or paint to ensure proper adhesion; light sanding and cleaning may be sufficient. Apply edge banding with suitable adhesives or hot-melt equipment, and fix components together with screws or dowels sized for 18 mm material. When joining panels, allow for expansion clearances recommended for interior wood-based products.

Usage recommendations

Store panels flat in a dry, ventilated area before processing. Acclimatize to the working environment for at least 24 hours to minimise movement. For exposed edges or moisture-prone locations, use appropriate sealing and edge protection. Follow manufacturer guidance for adhesives, coatings and fasteners to achieve durable results.
