For more than 90 years, Finsa has devoted its efforts to continuous improvement and investment in production and product development, bringing an artful selection of decoratives, veneers and textures to the interior design and manufacturing industries. One of the latest additions to its portfolio – Fibrapan Bio and Fibranatur Bio – is testament to this investment.
The award-winning Fibrapan Bio is a wood fibre board manufactured with bioadhesives that have been obtained from the bark of the tree itself, and with a paraffin of plant origin that allows the board to have a content of natural components greater than 99%.
Made with local wood from sawmill by-products and responsibly managed forests, with PEFC/FSC certification, Fibrapan Bio is BREEAM, LEED, WELL and LBC certified for its sustainability properties as a healthy and responsible alternative that uses an adhesive whose production does not interfere with the food chain. Due to its biological origin, Fibrapan Bio has no added formaldehyde, holding the same emission levels as natural wood.
Fibrapan Bio is manufactured using Finsa’s exclusive SIPS (Steam Injection Press System) technology, which allows rapid curing of the bio resin and exhaustive control of the density profile and moisture distribution. This process allows for unrivalled machining properties and quicker preparation times to reach a quality finish.
As a panel that is Service class 2, Finsa is proud to claim that its moisture-resistant properties make Fibrapan Bio “the first MR MDF to be made from over 99% biological material”. This makes it eminently suitable for demanding applications in humid environments.
To provide a decorative solution, Finsa has also launched Fibrapan Bio combined with a natural wood veneer: Fibranatur Bio. Finsa is considered a market-leading brand for veneered boards – recognised for their consistent quality – and possesses one of the largest production facilities in Europe.
Fibranatur Bio will be added to Finsa’s extensive UK stock range in Plus Grade European Oak, sourced from sustainably managed forests and available through its distribution network. Other species are also available from the Natur and Studio Natur ranges.
