Length: Maximum length 97.64", tolerance profiled 0.2 - 0.3 %

Width: Maximum width 7.68", tolerance profiled 0.2 - 0.3 %

Thickness: Maximum thickness 0.94", tolerance sanded ± 0.01"

Squareness: ± 0.04" per 39.37"

Wear resistance with oil/wax finish: Wear resistance according to NEN-EN 438-2, ISO 4586-2, 1988, measured by the SHR RC 2115-2
Test samples are treated with oil/wax Berger Seidle High Solid, and measured using the Taber® Abrasion Tester, thickness reduction which occurs after 2000 Cycles (not in conformance with norm) is, dependent on the kind of wood, 0.23 - 0.48 mm

Wear resistance with varnish finish: Wear resistance according to NEN-EN 438-2, ISO 4586-2, 1988, measured by the SHR RC 2115-2
Test samples are treated with varnish Berger Seidle Aqua-Seal 2K-PU matt, and measured using the Taber® Abrasion Tester to Final Wear Point, result is, dependent on kind of wood, 225 - 550 Cycles

Tensile strength: Measured perpendicularly according to NEN-EN 319 by the SHR RC 2115
gluing Plexwood ≥ 1.01 N/mm², the glue used by Plexwood meets quality D4 according to NEN-EN 204

Wood properties: Wood is not static, has a high electrical resistance (1 - 1000 MΩ), and a small heat conductivity (0.11 - 0.16 W/m²K) of which the effect is that it slows down the spreading of fire (source: Wood Vademecum; Wood Centre Foundation [Hout Vademecum; Stichting Centrum Hout], Almere 2001, pages 46, 48)
