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.
