Density is a physical property of matter as each element compound & unique density associated with it. Density defined in a quantitative manner as the measure of relative “heaviness “ of object with a constant volume.
Density = WEIGHT / VOLUME
Absorb more water if density is less. as it will be more porous.
| 1 | Features | Strength |
| 2 | Properties | Density |
| 3 | SUPERTUFF HDF | 800 KG/M3 |
| 4 | STD MDF | 700 KG/M3 |
| 5 | BWR Plywood | 600 KG/M3 |
To verify stiffness of board.
M. O. R. (Modulus of Rupture)
It is a point at which board breaks after putting load.
Verify breaking property of boards & to measure board bending strength.
If MOR is less, then bending strength will be less.
If MOR is less, board can break easily as wood will be brittle and dry.
On impact board will break easily.
| 1 | Features | M. O. R |
| 2 | SUPERTUFF HDF | 32 N/MM2 |
| 3 | Properties | Stiffness of Board |
| 4 | STD MDF | 29 N/MM2 |
| 5 | BWR Plywood | 27 N/MM2 |
To verify stiffness of board.
M.O.E. (Modulus Of Elasticity)
Recovery of shape on removal of load.
Verify bending property of boards & to ensure boards ability to resist bending.
If MOE is more, deflection will be less. Hence warpage will be less.
| 1 | Features | M. O. E. |
| 2 | Properties | Elasticity of Boardd |
| 3 | SUPERTUFF HDF | 3140 N/MM2 |
| 4 | STD MDF | 3042 N/MM2 |
| 5 | BWR Plywood | 2700 N/MM2 |
To verify the glue bonding strength.
IB (Internal Bonding)
Verify internal bonding property of boards & to ensure resistance of board material when pulled apart parallel to its surface.
If glue bonding is less then glue content in board will be less. Hence board will become porous resulting water absorption will be more and screw withdrawal will be less.
| 1 | Features | Internal Bonding |
| 2 | Properties | Glue Bonding Strength |
| 3 | SUPERTUFF HDF | 1.01 N/MM2 |
| 4 | STD MDF | 0.75 N/MM2 |
| 5 | BWR Plywood | 0.55 N/MM2 |
To verify screw holding strength.
Screw Withdrawal.
Verify screw withdrawal property of boards & to ensure resistance of board material to direct screw withdrawal of screw on face & edges of board.
If screw holding is less then joinery fitting & compactness will be poor.
| 1 | Features | Internal Bonding |
| 2 | Properties | Face / Edge |
| 3 | SUPERTUFF HDF | 2177 N / 1716 N |
| 4 | STD MDF | 1500 N / 1345 N |
| 5 | BWR Plywood | 2000 N / 1200 N |
To verify the resistance of water swelling.
Water Swelling Test.
To verify the determination of water absorption of board.
If water absorption is more then the product will susceptible to fungus & rot attack.
| 1 | Features | Waterproof |
| 2 | Properties | Water Swelling 24Hrs |
| 3 | SUPERTUFF HDF | NIL |
| 4 | STD MDF | 5% |
| 5 | BWR Plywood | NIL |
To verify the ability of worktop or its components to Withstand load test.
Load Test.
Ability to withstand load test.
If load bearing capacity is less, then board tends to sagging.
| 1 | Features | Load |
| 2 | Properties | Deflection with 20Kg Load |
| 3 | SUPERTUFF HDF | 1.8 MM |
| 4 | STD MDF | 2.1 MM |
| 5 | BWR Plywood | 2.6 MM |
Kitchens are usually considered to be a part of fixed furniture. Though modular in nature, however, modules when come together and are fixed with counter top - it takes nature of permanence. Making a kitchen involves plumbing, electrical, tiling, painting - all of them arising the need for precision setting and engineering to not repeat the process again. Thus, the decision of making a kitchen revolves around the prime factor of durability.
We at Spacewood, acknowledge this and are determined to provide our customers not just a beautiful functional kitchen - but also one that lasts really long.
In order to make a durable kitchen, it is important to use the right combination of all its components individually as well as collectively.
Supertuff HDF is also used for shutters in various finishes such as PU paint, foil, acrylic, glass, laminates etc. - all of which are tested against abrasion, UV rays, and color stability.The edge banding similar to carcase makes the shutters everlasting.
We offer carcase in Supertuff HMR HDF, that is edge banded with PUR. The Supertuff* HDF, an introduction from Spacewood has high water resistivity, high density of 800kg/m3 (higher than plywood), high screw holding properties and termite resistance due to melamine lamination. The entire carcass in Supertuff HDF is then pressed on a high frequency with high-quality strong glues that allow perfect alignment and makes the joints strong and permanent. Thus, we are committed to a 10 yr warranty.
At Spacewood, we use high-quality fittings from Germany and Italy from leading suppliers such as Blum, Kessebohmer, Hettich etc. All the fittings are further tested to last a lifetime with an approximate estimation of 80,000 cycles.
The kitchens are assembled in entirety on automatic lines, presses using pneumatic guns that stabilizes all the joints and aligns precisely.
It’s only evident that Spacewood kitchens - are your kitchens for life. A 10 yr warranty, lifetime services and expertise of Spacewood over 2 decades gives a kitchen it’s true worth.
