Gran Tour Finish Decorative Panel for Contemporary Dark Casework
The SALT Saviola GSA54 Notte panel brings a deep, near-black tone to cabinet boxes, open shelving, and commercial millwork. Finished on both faces in the Saviola collection's Gran Tour texture, this A/An A/A panel arrives ready to cut and band, with no secondary finishing required.
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.
- A/An A/A construction means both faces carry the full Gran Tour decorative finish, so either side can be the show face.
- Gran Tour surface texture delivers a tactile, structured finish that adds depth to the dark Notte decor without adding gloss.
- 83-5/16 inch by 110-1/4 inch sheet size provides 63.79 square feet per sheet, sized for tall closet components and full-height cabinet sides.
- 8 mm thickness suits cabinet backs, drawer bottoms, and interior panel applications where a lighter board is the right call.
- CARB2 compliant hardwood particleboard core meets formaldehyde emission requirements for residential and commercial specifications.
- Matching ABS edgebanding is available in the Notte color, so cut edges finish cleanly in the same decor.
Where the Gran Tour Notte Panel Fits the Job
Dark interiors take on a different character depending on texture. The Gran Tour finish gives the Notte decor a structured, matte surface that reads as intentional rather than plain — well suited to contemporary European-style kitchen interiors, handleless cabinet boxes, and retail fixture carcasses where the inside of the case is part of the design. At 8 mm, the panel is a natural pick for cabinet backs on wall units, the visible interior of open bookcases, and drawer-box components where the full 19 mm board would add unnecessary weight. The oversized sheet covers a full-height run efficiently, nesting tall parts with less waste than a standard 4 by 8 sheet allows.
Construction and Surface Details
The Saviola collection is built on a CARB2 compliant hardwood particleboard core, and the Gran Tour face is thermally fused directly to the board on both sides. There is no glue line to open at the edge and no film to peel after machining. The A/A grade pair means the panel ships with identical surface quality on both faces — useful for open shelving, room dividers, and back-painted glass alternatives where the panel is seen from both sides without any additional work. Matching ABS edgebanding in the Notte color keeps the finished edge consistent with the face decor.
The Right Buyer for This Panel
Cabinet shops running contemporary, dark-toned kitchens or closet systems will find the Notte color straightforward to specify: it anchors a monochromatic interior or contrasts cleanly against a light door front. Commercial fixture makers working on retail environments and hospitality millwork reach for the Gran Tour texture when a flat matte face would look too plain and a high-gloss surface would show fingerprints on a busy floor. Designers specifying for LEED or other green-building programs can work from the CARB2 compliance documentation. The sheet size and 8 mm thickness make this panel a volume item for shops cutting repetitive tall cabinet backs and interior panels rather than a special-order accent.
What does A/A mean on this panel?
A/A means both faces are finished to the same decorative standard — the Gran Tour Notte face appears on the front and the back. Either side can face outward, which matters for open shelving, dividers, and any component visible from more than one direction.
Is matching edgebanding available for GSA54 Notte?
Yes. Matching ABS edgebanding is available in the Notte color as part of the Saviola collection program, so the cut edge reads as the same surface as the face.
Can this panel be used for cabinet backs and drawer bottoms?
The 8 mm thickness is well suited to cabinet backs, drawer floors, and interior panels. Confirm your hardware and drawer-box dimensions call for 8 mm before ordering, since the same color is available in other thicknesses.
Does the Saviola collection have matching high-pressure laminate in this color?
Yes. Saviola HPL is available in two sheet sizes — 73 inch by 120 inch and 60 inch by 120 inch — so you can carry the Notte color onto countertops and other surfaces the decorative panel does not cover.
How many square feet does one sheet cover?
The 83-5/16 inch by 110-1/4 inch sheet yields 63.79 square feet. That figure is the published sheet area and does not account for cutting loss on your specific layout.
A Dark, Finished Panel That Ships Ready to Work
The GSA54 Notte Gran Tour panel arrives with both faces complete, edgebanding available to match, and a sheet size cut for efficient tall-part layouts — less setup, less waste, and a finished interior that looks as considered as the exterior.
