The DHF underlayment panel from Egger is a resin-bonded, medium-density fiberboard with CE marking according to EN 14964 and EN 13986. Thanks to formaldehyde-free bonding and the use of exclusively untreated softwood (sawmill by-products), the panels are particularly environmentally friendly and low-emission.
Sustainability:
- -584 kg CO2 eq/m³
- 95% of material from renewable resources
- 100% verified legal timber origin, 67% of which is certified
- 90% wood from the circular economy, 90% of which are by-products of the sawmill industry, 10% wood from sustainable forestry
This is what makes the EGGER DHF underlayment panel special – its advantages in application
The application areas and properties of the DHF boards are regulated by the CE Declaration of Performance (DOP-506) . With its properties, the EGGER DHF is the suitable underlayment board for the external sheathing of roofs and timber frame walls.
Rainproof underlayment panel, puncture-proof and windproof – three important functions are achieved in a single step with the EGGER DHF panel.
Two months of free exposure to the elements for temporary roofing between March and November provide you with security in the construction process.
DHF panels are puncture-proof and allow the creation of a walkable roof surface – for greater safety on the construction site.
The tightly closing tongue-and-groove profile makes the panel surface windproof without additional measures.
Thanks to the precisely fitting tongue and groove profile and the printed nail grid, laying and fastening EGGER DHF is quick and easy.
A nail sealing tape under the counter battens is not required for underlayments and under-roofs made of EGGER DHF.
The guaranteed bulk density of at least 600 kg/m³ in combination with large-area installation with a low proportion of joints has a positive effect on the sound insulation and fire protection of building components.
The different, floor-to-ceiling formats allow for the construction of stiffening timber frame walls without horizontal joints.
As a solid and stable panel, the EGGER DHF offers additional protection against extreme weather events , such as storms and hail, even during the construction phase.
EGGER makes their sustainability efforts transparent, therefore they present EcoFacts. They make the environmental performance of their products transparent and easy to understand. This contains all information regarding environmental and health aspects is available and compiled in one place. EGGER products are, in effect, “fully declared.”
“We provide you with reliable data and are happy to advise you. EGGER offers two formats for this: EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) and EHDs (Environmental and Health Datasheets)” “Wood is our most valuable resource. From this renewable raw material, we manufacture a wide range of products for furniture and interior design, flooring, and structural timber construction. We pursue a fact-based approach to sustainability and stand for transparency: Our EcoFacts show the environmental impact of our products at a glance.“
All environmental and health data at a glance: EGGER’s EPDs and EHDs
The situation: How do HQE, LEED, BREEAM, and DGNB differ? The subject of building certification, like the associated market of products and services, is complex. Almost every country and region has its own standards and regulations according to which a building receives a recognised certificate for quality criteria such as sustainability, health, and energy efficiency.
EGGER therefore compile all environmentally relevant data for their materials in our EPDs and EHDs and make them publicly accessible. This simplifies the selection of materials and the certification of buildings for architects and fabricators. Information on the life cycle of their products can be found in the Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Environmental and Health Data Sheets (EHDs).
