Full-Size A/A Panel for Open Casework and Visible Interiors
The Saviola Rovere Arco decorative panel is an A/A thermally fused laminate (TFL) board finished on both faces in the Gran Tour texture, sized at 83-5/16 inch x 110-1/4 inch at 19 mm thickness. Both faces carry the same Rovere Arco decor, making it the right choice for any application where the panel can be seen from either side.
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/A construction delivers the same Rovere Arco decor on both faces, so open shelving, room dividers, and box interiors read consistently.
- Gran Tour surface texture provides a structured, tactile wood-pore feel that holds up under handling and daily contact.
- 83-5/16 inch x 110-1/4 inch sheet covers 63.79 square feet per panel, supporting tall door blanks and full-height closet components with minimal waste.
- 19 mm thickness suits standard confirmat hardware and pairs directly with 23 mm matching ABS edgebanding for a clean square edge.
- CARB2 compliant hardwood particleboard core meets the formaldehyde emission requirement on commercial and residential specifications.
- Matching ABS edgebanding available in this color, so face and edge read as a continuous surface after banding.
Where This Panel Fits the Work
An A/A panel earns its place wherever the back face is as visible as the front. Cabinet box construction with open backs, freestanding room dividers, retail display cases, and floating shelves are the obvious fits. The Gran Tour texture gives the Rovere Arco oak decor a tactile depth that reads as a premium surface in a showroom sample or a finished install, not just on a spec sheet. At 63.79 square feet per sheet, the large format also suits high-cabinet runs where fewer sheet breaks mean fewer joints to tape and edgeband.
Surface, Core, and Construction
Rovere Arco is a warm, mid-tone oak decor that works across contemporary and transitional interiors without committing to either. The Gran Tour finish family pairs a wood-pore emboss with a controlled sheen that diffuses light rather than reflecting it, which keeps large flat door faces from telegraphing minor panel variation. The TFL face is fused directly to the board under heat and pressure, so there is no glue line to open at the cut edge. The hardwood particleboard core holds a confirmat screw well, stays flat across wide panels, and is CARB2 compliant for standard commercial specification work. Matching ABS edgebanding is available for this color, and ABS is chlorine-free, which clears specifications that restrict PVC.
Who Orders This Panel
Cabinet shops running open-frame or frameless box construction reach for A/A stock when the box interior is visible through glass doors or open sections. Designers specifying closet systems or retail fixture work often need the same surface inside and out, and this sheet delivers that without a second laminating step in the shop. The large format reduces the sheet count on a tall run, which matters when handling and storage space is limited. Contractors finishing a built-in with visible side panels also benefit from a sheet that does not require planning around a backer face.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a difference between the two faces on this panel?
No. The A/A grade means both faces carry the Rovere Arco decor to the same appearance standard. Either face can be the show face, which is the point of ordering A/A over an A/B panel.
What edgebanding should I order with this panel?
Matching ABS edgebanding is available in the Rovere Arco color. ABS is chlorine-free and dimensionally stable, which suits fine color and gloss matching. At 19 mm thick, the panel takes a 23 mm band with enough overhang to trim flush on both faces.
Is matching high-pressure laminate (HPL) available for Saviola colors?
Yes. Saviola HPL is stocked in two sheet sizes: 73 inch by 120 inch and 60 inch by 120 inch. The 60 inch sheet is there specifically for shops that cannot process the wider format. Order the size that fits your equipment.
How does Gran Tour differ from other finish families in this collection?
Gran Tour is a structured texture with a pronounced wood-pore emboss. It adds tactile depth to the decor and diffuses surface reflection, which makes it practical on large, flat door faces where a shinier surface would show more variation.
Can this panel be used in moisture-exposed areas?
The hardwood particleboard core is not a water-resistant core. This panel is suited to dry interior applications. If the cabinet will live under a sink or in a high-humidity environment, ask about Saviola panels built on a water-resistant core.
One Sheet, Both Faces, No Compromises
Rovere Arco in the A/A grade removes the show-face constraint from the layout, so the job gets cut efficiently and every visible surface arrives finished from the factory.
