High quality European hardware is used on drawers and Doors.

Vertical Panels, shelves, Doors and drawers are 3/4" thick. Panels are covered with a high quality 100 gram thermofused melamine. We use only 45# density premium industrial grade particleboard, the same board used in fine furniture and kitchen cabinets. The particleboard is strong. It has a modulus of rupture of 2500# per square inch, and has excellent screw holding properties.

Closetware® Organizing Systems, by Windquest Companies Inc. are manufactured using the highest quality materials to exact tolerances. We use premium industrial particleboard and UV cured melamine impregnated laminate. Materials are warranted against manufacturing defects for a period of ten years.

All particleboard used by Closetware meets HUD standards on formaldehyde emissions. All particleboard used emits less than 0.3 parts per million when tested in accordance to the test procedures specified by the Department of Housing and urban development using the specified air chamber test method. (Regulation #24CFR3280)

Flame Spread
The particleboard substrate used is recognized by the U.S. Department of Housing and urban Development, Underwriter¹s Laboratories, and model building codes as having a Class III, below 200 flame spread rating.

As with any other wood furniture product, the material must be kept away from any open flame. The material must not be place directly next to any radiator, heat duct, or other heat source, and must have adequate ventilation when installed in the vicinity of any heat source.

Laminating Processes Defined
High Pressure Laminate Usually known by its brand names, (Formica, Wilsonart), High Pressure Laminate (HPL) is formed from multiple layers of paper saturated with phenolic resin, fused together in a hot press under high pressure and heat. HPL is available in various thick nesses, most commonly .030 for vertical surfaces, and .050 for horizontal surfaces.

Low Pressure Laminate (Thermofused, MCP, or Permalam) Low pressure laminate is a decorative paper saturated with resin that is bonded to particleboard under heat and pressure. Papers can be saturated with melamine, polyester, or phenolic resins, and generally have weights ranging from 80 to 150 grams per square meter.

Film Laminating There are three main materials used in film laminating‹foils, thin papers and vinyls. In most cases, the process is a continuous film, roll-laminating production line. The line can be a hot or cold operation, and several different types of adhesives are used in coating the board, the film or both.

FOILS Foils are resin treated papers with weights ranging from 40 to 140 grams. They have good stain resistance and good fidelity of print pattern.

THIN PAPERS These are very thin, almost tissue-like papers with weights ranging from 23 to 30 grams.

VINYLS Vinyls are plasticized, flexible films usually ranging from .002" to .008" thick. They can be of a sandwich type construction and can be embossed or top coated.
