James Latham Introduces Valchromat: Eco-Friendly, High-Performance MDF Panels

James Latham has expanded its range to include Valchromat, a high-performance, eco-friendly MDF panel. This addition offers architects and designers a versatile, sustainable option for various projects.

Valchromat stands out for its durability and versatility. It's rated MDF-MR, making it suitable for humid conditions. A flame-retardant version is also available for enhanced fire performance. The wood used comes predominantly from sustainably managed Portuguese forests, primarily pine and other fast-growing species.

The panels are through-coloured, with organic dyes ensuring consistent colour throughout. This results in a product with high workability, visual expressiveness, and structural integrity. Valchromat's density is approximately 30% higher than standard MDF, providing excellent stability and reduced movement during cutting or shaping.

James Latham stocks Valchromat in 12 colours, thicknesses from 8mm to 30mm, and standard sheet sizes of 2440x1220mm and 3660x1220mm. The panels take coatings exceptionally well, allowing for matte, satin, or tinted finishes using oils, waxes, or varnishes.

The company offers technical support for designers specifying Valchromat, including sustainability documentation, fire-rating data, and installation guides. Valchromat's uses range from furniture design to retail and hospitality fit-outs, with growing demand in the kitchen and joinery sectors.

Valchromat's combination of sustainability, durability, and versatility makes it an attractive choice for architects and designers. James Latham's stock and technical support ensure easy integration into projects, contributing to a greener, more efficient construction industry.
