Description
19mm Egger U780 TM Monument Grey Lacquered Melamine Faced Chipboard 2800 x 2070mm is manufactured in Germany by Egger, finished in the PerfectSense Matt lacquer range, part of the Anthracite Unicolours range within Egger’s wider Uni Colours collection.
Colour and Surface
Monument Grey keeps its cool, blue-grey character here, carried under a lacquered TM finish rather than a standard melamine surface. That lacquer brings a velvety, matt surface that reduces reflections rather than just softening them. Touch it, and you’ll notice fingerprints just don’t show up the way they would on a standard melamine surface, the anti-fingerprint coating doing genuine work. This anti-fingerprint property is confirmed by Egger specifically for the PerfectSense Matt lacquer range, setting it apart from a standard melamine finish.
Construction and Performance
Melamine forms the base facing on both sides of this 19mm chipboard core, with the PerfectSense matt lacquer bonded on top of the visible face as the finished surface. Fire behaviour is classified D-s2,d0 under EN 13501-1, and the formaldehyde level meets E05. This TM lacquer is rated for vertical applications or horizontal surfaces with low stress only, such as light shelving, rather than for heavily used horizontal surfaces like worktops or desking. The square cut edge takes banding cleanly, and the panel can be cut to size for bespoke work. It is intended for dry interior applications. It can be used for kitchen cabinets and furniture, but should not be installed where the board or exposed edges will be subject to persistent moisture, standing water or direct wetting.
Where to Use It
19mm Egger board U780 TM Monument Grey Lacquered MFC suits a range of interior fit out work:
- Cabinet fronts and vertical furniture surfaces where fingerprints show most
- Office partition panels and vertical fittings with heavy daily handling
- Wardrobe doors in contemporary, cool-toned bedrooms
- Feature wall panelling in low-reflection, matt schemes
- Shelving units where a soft, tactile finish matters
Monument Grey PerfectSense also comes as a matching ABS edging tape, unglued and supplied in 1mm thickness for hot melt edgebanding machines.
