FOUR PRE-FINISHING SOLUTIONS TO SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY!
Columbia Forest Products launches The FinishLine, pre-finished hardwood plywood with four options to save fabricators time and money on cabinetry components.
Since 1996, Columbia Forest Products’ Finish Line has delivered over 20 million pre-finished panels to the industry. For a durable, VOC-free, UV-cured, clear topcoat we offer UV Wood™; for a custom-matched stain we have CustomColors™; for a lab grade, chemical-resistant finish we can supply UV LabCoat™; or if your project is to be painted, then we offer FirstStep®, our pre-primed, ready-to-paint panels.
The FinishLine at Columbia offers you the convenience of specifying a factory pre-finished panel for every type of project. This will save time and money in the fabrication process.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Pre-finished surface reduces labor time, increasing productivity and efficiency in fabrication and prevents bottlenecks common at the spray booth.
- Four regional FinishLine® facilities across North America for consistent availability and prompt delivery.
- VOC-free product ensures no degradation of indoor air quality.
- Over 50 years of making the industry’s superior hardwood plywood.
- VOC-free finish applied at Columbia's factories could translate into greater permitted production throughput through lower overall HAPS reductions at the fabricator.
