Prodema

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prodema is a wood based material used for the interior and exterior of buildings. It is made up of natural wood with a bakelite core. Also known as a composite wooden panel, it has been in use since the early 1900s. It is renowned for its durability and versatility, ranging in thickness from 6-22mm. Due to its composite properties, Prodema is often used for insulation to structures.

Uses

[edit]

Prodema can be adapted to many forms, including flooring, walls, exterior of buildings, archways, doors, ceilings, furniture. As it comes in panel form, the wood is treated with advanced machinery and chemicals to provide a longer life, and supported with a selection of metals such as aluminium, stainless steel, and iron.
