Featured Project Friday

Today’s feature project is a theater at Laurel High School in Laurel, Maryland. The beautiful, wood grain curved ceiling panels featured in this picture are made with the Kerfkore product from Kerfkore Company.

 

 

Choose Kerfkore for doing fast and accurate radius work. Kerfkore is ideal for production environments where repetitive products are manufactured. Kerfkore is a revolutionary substrate material that allows horizontal or vertical grade laminates, metals, 2-ply and phenolic backed veneers to be laminated flat and then formed into virtually any shape without stress cracks, delamination or telegraphing. Kerfkore provides for smooth and symmetrical inside and outside radii up to 3 1/2”.

 

 

Kerfkore saves time and improves quality by laminating flat and sanding flat prior to bending. It is dimensionally stable and holds its shape when formed with a series of horizontal ribs. Because of Kerfkore’s unique construction, excess material can be used on other projects virtually eliminating scrap.

Featured Project Friday – Curved Doors

Need to learn how to make curved doors? With our Kerfkore product, it couldn’t be easier. Check out this beautiful wood table with a set of curved doors.

“Curved doors and panels add elegance to any project, especially  kitchen cabinets. Making these complicated parts requires careful planning and building. The task can be made much easier by using a flexible panel product called Kerfkore. It follows the same principle that cabinetmakers use when they saw multiple kerfs on the back of a piece of plywood to make it flexible. A disadvantage to this saw-kerfing method is the risk of the face veneer cracking or kinking at the kerfs, spoiling the curve’s smooth surface. Kerfkore’s advantage is that that the kerfing is done for you. Its flexible paper backing provides a smooth surface to attach your veneer.”
