Tafisa 303 Hardrock Maple Melamine 49 x 97 Panel

Tafisa 303 Hardrock Maple Melamine For Casework

Tafisa 303 Hardrock Maple Melamine gives you a 5/8 inch thick decorative panel that pairs a Hardrock Maple color on both faces with a Crystalite texture, so cabinet and fixture runs present a consistent look edge to edge. The melamine is manufactured in one step by pressing and thermo fusing the top and bottom impregnated decorative layers directly to particle board, creating a bonded surface that stays integrated with the core in normal woodworking use. This Tafisa Melamine board has a particle board or MDF core, so you can match it to shop tooling and machining setups designed for standard composite cores. The panel measures 49 x 97, which supports layout of cabinet sides, tops, bottoms, and shelving with efficient cutting patterns in a typical shop workflow.

Key Tafisa Melamine Details That Support Builds

• The 5/8 inch thickness works with builds planned around common casework dimensions, so rip and dado setups transfer easily from other 5/8 inch composite panels.
• The 49 x 97 size provides extra width beyond 4 feet, which helps lay out cabinet components with fewer seams in larger panels and more flexible cutting diagrams.
• The board is double sided with the color 303 Hardrock Maple, allowing visible interiors and exteriors to carry the same maple tone without needing separate liner or face stock.
• The Crystalite texture on the decorative layers gives the surface a defined feel that reads consistently across both faces, supporting uniform appearance on matching doors and panels.
• The top and bottom impregnated decorative layers are pressed and thermo fused to the particle board, creating an integrated decorative surface ready for machining, drilling, and edge banding operations.

Panel Format And Core Details For Shop Setup

The Tafisa 303 Hardrock Maple Melamine panel uses a particle board or MDF core beneath its decorative faces, so saws, routers, and boring equipment set up for standard composite cores will interact with familiar cutting resistance. Its 5/8 inch thickness aligns with cabinet, closet, and fixture layouts that rely on that dimension for joinery and hardware setbacks, keeping hole patterns and groove depths consistent across projects. The 49 x 97 format gives a slightly oversize sheet compared to 4 x 8, allowing optimized yield when nesting sides, bottoms, and shelves while still fitting most panel handling routines.

Using This Hardrock Maple Melamine In Projects

Where This L303 Hardrock Maple Panel Fits Best

This Tafisa Melamine board is double sided with the color 303 Hardrock Maple, so it fits projects where both the inside and outside of cabinets, cases, or fixtures need the same maple appearance without a secondary facing step. The Crystalite texture runs on both decorative layers, supporting runs of shelving, cabinet gables, and partitions that look consistent when viewed together. With a 49 x 97 sheet size and 5/8 inch thickness, the panel suits layouts of medium to large cabinet components, closet sections, and similar casework that benefit from full-height or oversize parts cut from a single sheet.

Why Tafisa 303 Hardrock Maple Melamine Supports Repeatable Work

The melamine is manufactured in one step with the top and bottom impregnated decorative layers pressed and thermo fused to particle board, giving you a unified panel that maintains its decorative faces as it is cut and machined in normal shop conditions. The particle board or MDF core option means tooling and programs tuned for composite cores will produce predictable edges ready for banding, trimming, and drilling. Its consistent 5/8 inch thickness across the 49 x 97 panel helps maintain alignment of joinery, hinge cup depths, and shelf pin rows from piece to piece, reducing adjustments when repeating cabinet or fixture runs in the same Hardrock Maple finish.
