Full-Sheet TFL Panel for Large-Format Casework and Commercial Millwork
The SM'art A/A decorative panel in Rockefeller brings a striking dark tone to large-format cabinetry, closet systems, and commercial millwork. At 81-1/2 inch x 120-5/64 inch and 19 mm thick, this thermally fused laminate panel ships finished on both faces, ready to cut and edgeband without any additional surface preparation. The A/A grade pair means either face can show, giving fabricators the freedom to orient the sheet however the cut list demands.
Key Features
- 13-hour water-resistant core — a vendor test result, not a wet-area rating, and useful where spills and humidity are routine.
- 50% post-consumer recycled core — half the core content is 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 grade pair: Both faces carry the same decorative surface, so either side can be the show face with no restrictions on panel orientation.
- Manhattan finish: A distinctive textured surface in the Rockefeller color that holds its appearance on large flat expanses of door and side panel.
- 19 mm thickness: A standard cabinet-construction thickness that pairs directly with 23 mm edgebanding and accepts common confirmat and cam fasteners without pre-drilling adjustment.
- Thermally fused laminate construction: The decorative face is fused directly to the core under heat and pressure, leaving no glue line to open at the edge under normal shop handling.
- Large nominal sheet size: At 81-1/2 inch x 120-5/64 inch, the sheet accommodates tall cabinet parts and full-height closet components with meaningful offcut potential.
- Matching ABS edgebanding available: Color-matched banding in the Rockefeller decor is available to close cut edges and keep the panel reading as a single finished surface.
Where This Panel Fits the Job
The Rockefeller color and Manhattan finish combination works particularly well on visible vertical surfaces where a consistent dark tone needs to carry across a long run without variation. Full-height pantry cabinets, floor-to-ceiling closet panels, and retail fixture side walls are natural fits. Because the sheet is finished A/A, it also works for open shelving, room dividers, and any component where both faces land in the sightline. The 81-1/2 inch dimension clears standard door heights without a rip, reducing setup time on high-volume runs where every inch of yield matters.
Construction and Finish Details
SM'art panels use a thermally fused laminate surface, meaning the Manhattan-finish face in Rockefeller is permanently bonded to the core rather than applied as a separate sheet. There is no adhesive layer to delaminate under shop conditions. The 19 mm thickness is the construction standard across the SM'art collection, consistent with European cabinet-box dimensions and confirmed to hold drawer slide hardware and hinge mounting plates without supplemental backing. Matching SM'art HPL ships at 60 inch by 120 inch and is available to extend the Rockefeller color onto countertops and post-formed work the panel size does not cover.
Who Orders This Panel
Cabinet shops running dark-palette contemporary kitchens reach for this SKU when the design calls for a muted, textured surface with a uniform face across both sides of the component. Commercial millwork contractors specify it for retail and hospitality interiors where material consistency across a large elevation is non-negotiable. Designers working through a wholesale account use the SM'art collection because the color program is stable, matching edgebanding is a confirmed part of the program, and the A/A construction removes the planning step of tracking which face faces out. The Rockefeller color is currently active in the SM'art line.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this panel for a cabinet box where the interior is always visible, such as an open display cabinet?
Yes. The A/A grade pair means the interior face meets the same decorative standard as the exterior, so an open cabinet in Rockefeller reads consistently from any angle without a second surface operation.
What edgebanding width do I need for a 19 mm panel?
A 23 mm banding width is the standard pairing for 19 mm stock. It leaves enough overhang on both faces to trim flush in a single edgebander pass. Matching ABS edgebanding in Rockefeller is available in the SM'art program.
Is matching HPL available for this color?
Yes. SM'art matching HPL ships at 60 inch by 120 inch and is available to carry the Rockefeller color onto a countertop or post-formed component where the panel sheet size does not reach.
How does the sheet size affect my cut list planning?
At 81-1/2 inch x 120-5/64 inch, the panel is longer than a standard 4 x 8 and taller than most door runs. Many shops find the 81-1/2 inch dimension clears a full door height in one piece, and the remaining offcut is large enough to yield drawer faces or fixed shelf parts without a separate sheet pull.
A Dependable Dark Palette for Demanding Builds
Rockefeller in the Manhattan finish delivers a consistent, finished surface on both faces of every sheet, so the panel works wherever the job puts it, visible or concealed, interior or exterior, with matching edgebanding and HPL ready to complete the run.
