Handmade vs Machine-Made Panel Guide
Choosing between handmade and machine-made panels is a choice of route, not of quality rank. Handmade panels offer a galvanised keel edge, pre-embedded conduits, pre-cut openings and easy dismantling. Machine-made panels offer continuous automated roll-press bonding and fast installation. Combined panels join the two routes without a seam.
Edge, services and dismantling
Handmade panels carry services inside the board: pre-embedded conduits use galvanised or PVC conduit, and pre-cut openings reduce on-site cutting. The galvanised keel edge and easy dismantling suit high-standard rooms and rooms that change layout. Machine-made panels suit standardised runs where speed matters and service boards are few.
Installation speed and cost
Customer material describes machine-made installation speed as about twice that of traditional boards, with labour saving of about 50 percent; both figures are quoted here as customer material, not as measured site results. Cost comparison is qualitative only on this site: handmade panels cost more than machine-made panels. No price figure is stated, because price is confirmed per order.
Selection rule
Choose handmade panels where services, openings or dismantling dominate. Choose machine-made panels where speed and standard runs dominate. Choose combined panels where a project needs both. State the route split in the brief, with core, width, thickness and joint type for each area.
