Panel Manufacturing Process
Every part of the States panel can be created to match your precise specifications. Whether you need a small quantity suitable for custom remodel or large quantities for use in commercial applications. Our proprietary manufacturing process allows you to customize every detail about your panel form substrate to the veneer species to the color and unique properties of its NOVA finish. Choose your Substrate, Choose your Veneer, Choose finished or unfinished. Contact us for help select the right combination.
Choose your Substrate
Lighter, tougher, flatter, harder, and stronger are the key attributes of States ArmorCore® substrates. For applications demanding superior performance, ArmorCore® is just what you're looking for. ArmorCore® combines the low weight and high strength advantages of veneer cored panels with the superior flatness and higher density of MDF.
Choose your Veneer
Choose Unfinished or Prefinished
NOVA finishes are available in a wide range of options and can be combined as needed for specific applications or can be specified "UNFINISHED"
High quality and beautiful finishes bring out the natural warmth of real wood-grain surfaces. States NOVA® prefinished hardwood panels are custom tailored to bring out that radiance in every application.
NOVA® offers unsurpassed prefinish options with clear, translucent, opaque and printed finishes. Select from satin, medium, and high gloss, or a custom gloss level with precise color matching for your specific application.
NOVA PEAK panels allow shops to produce high quality case goods without extensive finishing capabilities. Pre-finished NOVA panels are used primarily on interior vertical surfaces such as cabinets, closets, fixtures and architectural interiors.
NOVA PEAK panels are a stock version of States' custom color capabilities. Since they are produced to stock and not to order, options are limited to the standard offering, ten colors on four species. There are two options on Oak, three on Maple, three on Cherry and two on Mahogany. Thicknesses include 1/4" MDF core and 3/4" ArmorCore. Face grades are A Cherry and Mahogany and B Maple and Oak. NOVA PEAK panels are finished on both sides.
Nova Lab finishes have been formulated and applied to meet Scientific Equipment and Furniture Association (SEFA) standards for chemical resistance. They are appropriate to use anywhere interior vertical surfaces are exposed to harsh chemicals, including laboratories, commercial kitchens, work rooms and testing centers.
Hardwood Faces, Melamine Backs
Versa panels feature hardwood face veneers and thermofused melamine backs. These panels bring together natural hardwood exteriors and durable synthetic interiors that can be easily cleaned, making them perfect for the construction of cabinets and closets.
Face veneers are available in most domestic and select import species.
Ideal Uses
Versa is used to construct case goods with natural wood veneered exteriors and melamine-impregnated, paper interiors.
Melamine interiors guarantee a mar- and moisture-resistant finish as well as offering opaque colors.
Melamine Patterns
Choose from two popular melamine patterns for the back of your Versa panel: Galaxy White or Hard Rock Maple.
Other colors and patterns are available by special order.
Core and Finish Options
Versa panels are available with a ¾" Particleboard core. They are also available on MDF or ArmorCore. Learn more about core options.
Any of States' NOVA finishes may be applied to the veneered side.
Prefab Options
Pre-cut, finished and edge banded components give your shop the ability to maximize time and profits. Our integrated manufacturing process enables us to tailor components to your unique specifications and applications, from panel construction through finish.
Improve your operation's efficiency and profitability
Pre-cut, pre-drilled and fully finished components are precision engineered for consistency in fabrication when they arrive on your shop floor. This precision reduces waste and assures you a simpler bidding process with clearly defined prices for every component.
States panels are manufactured from the finest plywood construction in a wide range of wood veneers with matching wood edge banding.
Wall Paneling
Wood wall paneling provides a natural, beautiful and durable surface for any interior. Large format panels (4′ x 8′) provide a fast and relatively inexpensive decorating solution.
Ideal Uses
Primarily designed for residential applications, wood wall paneling is also popular in cabins and recreational vehicles, as well as in commercial buildings like offices, churches, restaurants and retail stores.
Finish Options
Wall paneling is available in natural, finished or unfinished wood veneers. Finished panels utilize our proprietary NOVA ultraviolet-cured coatings, making them as durable and resilient as they are beautiful.
Dimensions
Paneling is 48″ wide by 96″ high. In application, paneling is frequently cut to 32″ or 48″ high wainscoting.
Available thicknesses, depending on the species and pattern selected:
- 5/32″
- 1/4″
- 3/8″
Pattern Options
States currently offers forty individual wall paneling products. Selected panels may be flat, but most have a decorative pattern grooved or beaded into the surface.
Available Species
- Bamboo
- Birch
- Cedar
- Cherry
- Oak
Stain colors run the gamut from light to dark. Certain paneling products use individual veneer components between each vertical groove to achieve a more authentic “plank" effect called random matching.
