FAQ

1. What waste materials can I customize from?

We’re currently in beta. At the moment, you can work with our signature material:

  • Fiberform — a compressed waste textile board.

    • Behaves much like coated wood or resin

    • Durable and versatile for interiors

    • Endless colour possibilities from blended textile fibres

We’ll be rolling out other recycled material ranges in the near future — think plastic, glass, and more.

2. What applications are your materials suitable for?

Our panels are designed for dry-use applications. Ideal for:

  • Wall panels & wall tiling

  • Dry powder rooms

  • Counter vertical surfaces & benchtop cladding

  • Dining tables & coffee tables (tables require a protective coating for stain resistance)

Not suitable for:

  • Outdoor use

  • Prolonged wet exposure (e.g. showers, sinks)

  • High heat exposure (e.g. stovetops)

  • Flooring or heavy industrial applications

3. Do the materials need coatings?

  • Tables and benchtops: require a professional clear coating for extra stain resistance.

  • Walls and verticals: generally no coating needed.

4. What if I don’t see the colours I want?

We offer a wide colour chart to customise from, but if you’re after something even more specific or unusual, we may be able to help.

5. What sizes do your panels come in?

  • Standard size: 1200 × 2400 mm (approx.)

  • Thickness: 3, 6 and 9mm, depending on material type

  • If other variations are needed, we suggest to use the 3mm as a laminate with a substrate.

6. What is your lead time?

  • Samples: 3–4 weeks

  • Bulk orders: 6–8 weeks

7. How do I install the panels?

Our panels can be handled with standard carpentry tools: CNC machines, woodworking saws, sanding belts — and installed using adhesives, screws, and trims.

We also provide installation and fabrication support.
