A Discontinued Classic: Rovere Agento in Stock While Supply Lasts
The SALT Saviola Rovere Agento panel (color code GSDH1) is an A/A TFL decorative panel finished on both faces in the Vetta texture family. At 83-5/16 inch by 110-1/4 inch and 8 mm thick, it ships in the oversized format that gives fabricators full-height parts and meaningful offcuts. This color is discontinued and selling through — order now if the job is already committed, and specify a stocking alternative for anything that may reorder.
Key Features
- 13-hour water-resistant core — a vendor test result, not a wet-area rating, and useful where spills and humidity are routine.
- 100% post-consumer recycled core — the Gruppo Saviola board program is built entirely from reclaimed wood fiber.
- CARB2 compliant — meets the California formaldehyde emission limits that commercial and residential specifications ask for.
- CARB2 hardwood particleboard core — the substrate the decor is fused to.
- A/A (A/A) construction means both faces carry the same Rovere Agento decor, so either face can show without a second operation.
- Vetta finish family delivers a textured surface with tactile depth suited to contemporary casework.
- 83-5/16 inch by 110-1/4 inch sheet size — an oversized format that accommodates full-height cabinet and closet parts.
- 8 mm thickness suits back panels, cabinet interiors, and thin-profile components where a 19 mm board is unnecessary.
- Thermally fused laminate (TFL) construction fuses the decorative face directly to the core — no glue line, no delamination risk at the edge.
- Discontinued, selling through — available at normal lead time until inventory is depleted.
Where This Panel Fits the Job
At 8 mm, Rovere Agento earns its place as a back panel for frameless cabinet boxes, a finished interior skin behind open shelving, and a lightweight backing for drawer interiors where the color needs to carry through. The oversized sheet means a tall pantry back or full-height wardrobe panel can often land on a single piece, with no visible seam in the finished run. Because both faces are finished identically, a part is usable either way off the saw — which matters when a cutlist is running tight on orientation.
Surface, Core, and Construction
The Vetta texture is a structured surface with enough relief to hold up against fingerprints and light contact without the maintenance burden of a high-gloss face. TFL construction bonds the melamine-impregnated decorative paper directly to the substrate under heat and pressure, so the face becomes part of the board rather than an applied layer. The result is consistent color and texture from edge to edge with no risk of the face pulling away under normal shop handling. Core specification for this SKU: confirm against the current technical data sheet, as Saviola core composition can vary by thickness within the same collection.
Who Reaches for This Panel
Cabinet shops running a gray-toned wood program find Rovere Agento useful for the parts that frame or back the primary door and drawer color. The silver-oak tone sits comfortably behind lighter neutrals and works as an interior surface where the decor is meant to recede. Designers specifying a project that is already committed to this color should confirm available quantity before finalizing the cut list — this is a selling-through item and inventory will not be replenished. For a job with a possible future phase, choose a stocking alternative and reserve Rovere Agento for the current scope only.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that this color is discontinued and selling through?
The manufacturer has withdrawn Rovere Agento (GSDH1) from ongoing production. Existing warehouse stock is still available at normal ordering terms. Once that inventory is gone, the color cannot be reordered. It is a sound choice for a one-time project but not for an open specification that may need to be matched later.
Does matching ABS edgebanding exist for GSDH1?
Matching edgebanding is available across the Saviola collection. Confirm current availability for GSDH1 specifically given the selling-through status — banding inventory and panel inventory may not run out at the same time.
Is there a matching HPL sheet for this color?
Yes. Saviola HPL is stocked in two sheet sizes: 73 inch by 120 inch and 60 inch by 120 inch. Confirm availability for GSDH1 specifically, as stock levels for a discontinued color can fluctuate.
What applications is 8 mm too thin for?
An 8 mm panel is not a structural shelf or a cabinet door — it lacks the stiffness for a span without additional support. It is sized for back panels, interior skins, and lightweight components where a thicker board would add cost and weight without adding value.
How is the square footage per sheet calculated?
The nominal sheet size of 83-5/16 inch by 110-1/4 inch works out to approximately 63.79 square feet per sheet. That is the full sheet area — usable yield depends on the cut list.
