Whot's Underneolh Counts

Tech Sales of Portland has introduced a new architectural hardwood veneered plywood.

The panels are guaranteed for the life of the building where the penels are installed. This is due to "a special rayon cloth applied under the face veneer to prevent checking and warping."

According to Patrick Connolly, president of Tech Sales, "These panels are produced in large quantities a.nd the panels are numbered. Tech-Guard book-matched penels can be ordered at lower cost than custom matched panels and. still maintain the excellence of quality appearance.t' The result is a beautiful symmetrical matched pattern which can continue completely around all walls of a room, no matter how large.

With Tech-Guard's random-matched panels, veneers from eight different flitches, are used in a single panel. Veneers are separated by Y+" wide V-grooves, giving the impression that the wall has been finished with solid wood. The vivid grain patterns and

colors are repeated every four feet so that symetry is subtly introduced into the room.

Tech-Guarrl panels are ofrered either unfinished or prefinished in 21 veneers and in six sizes, with lauan lumber cores. The two surfaces are book-matched flat and random-matched with V-grooves,

These new panels are a fore-runner in the market because they cost considerably less than other panels. And, their appearance and versatility are being realized by their cunent use in many office buildings, homes, and even elevator interiors.
