Adze Triply Three-Layer Panels

Adze panels produced using our Triply three-layer panels:

Adze Plywood

Adze panels produced using our plywood:

Overview

Adze is a series of carved scallops taken from the surface of a panel to emulate the effect of using an adze - a hand tool similar to an axe with an arched blade at right angles to the handle. There is a difference of approx. 4mm between the high and low points of the carved design. In principle the design can be carved in panel thickness starting from 8mm.

Adze is well-suited to the surface of our three-layer solid hardwood panels, or coloured MDF. The pattern is tileable in the standard panel size of 2400x1200mm. It can be supplied in a wide range of materials and in any size up to maximum 3600x1500mm, subject to availability of raw material.

Adze carved panels are often supplied to bespoke size to minimize the amount of waste (e.g. 650mm width). In the form of three-layer solid wood panels, they are most often produced using panels of shorter length in order to take advantage of lower m2 price & improved availability of raw material.

In detail

While removing material from one side of any panel can often cause it to cup towards the machined face, this design tends to be one of the most stable - although thinner panels tend to be more likely to deform.

We have found that our 20mm three-layer panels generally remain relatively flat with this design when first produced, but it is vital that design of any installation allows for the risk of such movement, particularly if the panels are subject to changes in ambient moisture.

MDF panels are also often ordered with a diamond pattern of relieving v-grooves machined into the reverse in order to help keep the panel as flat as possible. As an alternative a laminate can be bonded to the reverse or an additional panel such as 18mm MDF used in place of the laminate. This last option increases the overall thickness, but also offers additional bulk to help with hidden fixings

This machined design repeats on a 2400x1200mm basis. Other repeats maybe possible

We can now offer matched sets to achieve mitred corners. These mitres can be cut on site using a standard panel saw or we can supply mitred corners precut if delivered via courier

Information

Technical details (general)

  • Construction:
    • Machined into the surface of one of our three-layer hardwood panels, beech-throughout plywood, birch plywood, through-coloured MDF, or other suitable raw material (such as deep-rout MDF with a laminate to the reverse)
  • Pattern height:
    • Approx. 4mm
  • Standard thickness:
    • Typically 18-20mm, dependent upon material (minimum 8mm)
  • Minimum thickness:
  • Standard sizes:
    • Produced to order in bespoke sizes
  • Pattern repeat:
    • Adjacent edges of carved panels match in a 2400x1200mm repeat as standard
    • Other repeats may be possible
  • Maximum size:
    • Determined by material used and quantity required
    • In principle, individual panels can be machined up to maximum 3600x1500mm, subject to availability of chosen material
