Loom Texture and A/A Construction for Casework That Closes Clean
The Saviola Boheme panel is an A/A-grade thermally fused laminate (TFL) decorative panel finished on both faces in the Loom surface texture. At 19 mm thick and 83-5/16 inch by 110-1/4 inch, it is sized for cabinet boxes, open shelving, and interior components where both faces will be visible and neither face can afford to look like a back.
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 grade construction means both faces carry the same Boheme decor to the same appearance standard, so either side can face out.
- Loom finish delivers a tactile textile-inspired surface texture that reads consistently across a full run of panels.
- 19 mm thickness pairs with standard confirmat fasteners and 23 mm edgebanding for a square-edge cabinet build.
- 83-5/16 inch by 110-1/4 inch sheet size gives the cutter enough yield for tall cabinet parts without a secondary sheet.
- Thermally fused laminate face bonds the decorative layer directly to the core with no adhesive line to open at the edge.
- Matching ABS edgebanding is available in the Boheme color to close every cut edge in the same decor.
Where This Panel Does Its Best Work
An A/A panel earns its place wherever both faces of a component are visible in the finished installation. Open shelving units, room dividers, and the interior walls of frameless cabinet boxes are the natural home for this construction. A cabinet side panel that faces the room on the outside and the cabinet interior on the inside benefits from having the same finished face in both directions, because the alternative — an A/B panel with a backer — requires deliberate layout planning to keep the backer hidden. With an A/A build, that constraint disappears.
The Loom texture adds a layer of specification value on surfaces that get touched. Door-adjacent side panels, pull-out shelves, and the interior faces of pantry cabinets are surfaces a user's hand crosses regularly. A textile-patterned emboss holds up visually under that contact in a way a plain gloss face does not.
Construction and Surface Detail
TFL fuses the decorative paper directly to the substrate under heat and pressure, which eliminates the glue layer between face and core. The result is a panel edge that machines cleanly and bands without a visible transition line when the edgebanding matches the decor. The Boheme color in the Loom finish family carries a consistent emboss across the sheet, so a run of panels cut from the same sheet reads as continuous rather than as individual components with slight variation.
At 83-5/16 inch by 110-1/4 inch, the sheet covers 63.79 square feet. That area is practical for full-height closet wall panels, tall upper cabinet runs, and base cabinet sides cut in pairs from a single sheet with a manageable offcut. The 19 mm dimension is the standard cabinet-box thickness for European-style construction, compatible with standard shelf pin hardware and cabinet leg levelers without modification.
Right Fit for the Project
Cabinet shops building frameless boxes in contemporary or transitional color palettes will find Boheme a workable neutral — the Loom texture reads as woven or linen-like, which pairs naturally with matte door programs and handle-free hardware. Designers specifying a bathroom vanity or laundry room cabinet where both the visible exterior and the interior shelf field matter will benefit from the A/A build rather than managing an A/B panel's orientation through production. Contractors finishing a multi-unit residential job can run a consistent Boheme interior throughout without tracking face direction at the saw.
This panel is for indoor cabinetry and millwork. It is not rated for exterior or wet-area installation.
What does A/A mean on this panel, and how is it different from an A/B panel with a matching backer?
A/A means both faces are finished to the same appearance grade in the same Boheme decor. An A/B panel with a matching backer carries the decorative face on one side and a balance sheet on the other — the backer matches in color but is not held to the same face specification. An A/A panel can be installed with either face showing without any compromise in appearance or durability.
Is matching edgebanding available for the Boheme color?
Yes. Matching ABS edgebanding is available in the Boheme decor through the Saviola collection. ABS banding is chlorine-free and dimensionally stable, which makes it compatible with specifications that exclude PVC.
Does the Loom texture run in a consistent direction across the sheet?
The Loom finish is a textile-inspired surface emboss. As with all embossed TFL panels, it is worth confirming grain direction against your cut list before processing, particularly where panels will meet at a miter or a visible joint. The emboss is uniform across the sheet face.
What edgebanding width works with a 19 mm panel?
A 23 mm wide edgebanding strip is the standard choice for a 19 mm panel on a square edge. The 4 mm overhang gives the edgebander enough material to trim flush on both faces cleanly.
Is matching high-pressure laminate (HPL) available in this color?
Matching HPL is available for the Saviola collection in the Boheme color. It ships in two sheet sizes: 73 inch by 120 inch and 60 inch by 120 inch. The 60 inch sheet is the option for shops that cannot process a 73 inch width through their equipment.
A Panel Built to Finish Both Sides of the Job
Boheme in the Loom finish brings a distinctive textile surface to a practical A/A construction — so every face of the cabinet, whether it opens to the room or the interior, arrives already done.
