Colour and surface
The maple decor has a light, warm tone and a fine, straight grain pattern. The matt finish does not reflect much light, so the van interior looks calm even when the sun shines through the windows. Light wood makes a small space look bigger and goes well with upholstery in greys, beiges and greens. It is a good choice when you want a cosy, natural look without dark, heavy surfaces.
Poplar plywood with HPL laminate
Poplar plywood is one of the lighter types of plywood, which is why it is often chosen for vehicle conversions where every kilogram counts. The cross-laminated veneer layers make the board stiff and help it hold screws well. HPL is a high-pressure laminate that forms a hard, smooth surface for everyday use. It is easy to wipe with a damp cloth, which matters in a motorhome kitchen and near the door, where furniture comes into contact with water, sand and mud. Laminate on both sides balances the board, so large parts are less likely to warp.
What the board is for
- carcasses and fronts of upper and lower cabinets
- kitchen units, sink and hob cabinet
- bed box and mattress frame
- wardrobe, shelves and storage
- partition walls and bathroom panelling
- covers for electrics and batteries
- furniture in caravans, vans and motorhomes
Format and handling
A full 122 x 244 cm sheet lets you cut several large parts from one board, for example a wardrobe side, a front and shelves. That means fewer joints and the same colour on all parts. The board weighs approx. 21 kg and is large, so a second person helps when carrying and cutting it. Store it flat on an even surface in a dry place so that it does not warp before you work on it.
Cutting and fitting
- cut with a fine-tooth saw blade made for laminated boards to avoid chipping
- put masking tape along the cutting line for extra protection of the laminate
- when drilling, place a piece of wood under the board for a clean exit hole
- leave the plywood edges visible or cover them with edge band or a profile
- join parts with corner profiles, angles or furniture connectors
- screw furniture to fixing points in the vehicle so it does not move while driving
How to combine colours
Matt maple looks good with matt black on a worktop or handles and with a light grey carcass. If you combine it with light oak, avoid placing two different wood patterns right next to each other and separate them with a plain colour.
Care
Clean the laminate with a soft, damp cloth and a little mild detergent. Do not use scouring powder, abrasive sponges or solvents, which can dull or scratch the surface. Protect exposed plywood edges from long contact with water, ideally by covering them with edge band or a profile.
Surface close-up
The close-up shows the light maple grain on a matt surface. The grain runs along the board, so plan the grain direction when cutting so that cabinet fronts and side panels follow the same pattern.
