Sibu Design Boards

Depending on the surface and the decor, they are made of the following materials:

• polyurethane synthetic leather surfaces (PU)
• polyester synthetic fur surfaces (PET)
• metalised surfaces (PET)
• special coatings (PET lacquer)
• printed surfaces (print)
• acrylic surfaces (PMMA)

All variants are not only optically outstanding, but have a unique feel as well. They match the highest quality standards and are particularly suitable for interiors.

Polystyrene, the Sibu Design Boards' basic material in the variants NA (non-adhesive) and SA (self-adhesive), is a thermoplastic material. Therefore, a slight expansion of the design board due to temperature change has to be considered. Bonding with PVAc - if possible - prevents this expansion and enables a flush bonding.

Depending on the design, the boards are available with different backings and support materials, which allows for different types of processing:

The non-adhesive design boards from the Deco-Line, Leather-Line, SibuGlas and Structure-Line collections can be bonded with standard PVAc glues (white glues), e.g. our REDOCOL greenline Kantol. The reverse sides of the boards have to be pre-treated for this (grain size 80). An exception are the boards from the SibuGlas collection which have a highly absorbing reverse side made of PU synthetic leather.

The pre-treated, non-adhesive design boards can be bonded with standard PVAc glues (white glues), e.g. our REDOCOL greenline Kantol. The have already been pre-processed by the manufacturer with the Corona treatment and do not have to be sanded.. The pre-treatment lasts for three months.

Depending on the surface, the self-adhesive design boards have a reverse side coated either with high-quality acrylate adhesive or synthetic rubber. They can be bonded both to absorbing and non-absorbing substrates. Keep in mind to leave an expansion joint.
