The main difference is the core paper layers between the particleboard and the decor paper. Due to these additional core paper layers, the Superfront has a more robust surface structure than the StarFavorit and can therefore withstand higher stresses.
FunderMax Star Favorit Superfront are coated chipboard panels manufactured using the direct coating process. The double-sided coating in thicknesses of approx. 0.5mm (Superfront 0.5) and 0.8mm (Superfront 1.0) has the same structure as a laminate panel. The difference to an HPL laminate is in the manufacturing process. In Star Favorit Superfront, the coating is applied in a single operation. Depending on the surface finish of the coating, the technical values as well as the usage properties meet the requirements of EN 438-3 for laminated panels.

- Chipboard panels are divided into classes based on their suitability for the area of application. The classification also provides information as to whether the model is suitable as a load-bearing component.
Chipboard panels are classified into the following application classes:
• P1: Dry area for light cladding, not load-bearing
• P2: Dry area for furniture and interior design, not load-bearing (Standard)
• P3: Wet rooms, not load-bearing
• P4: Dry area, load-bearing
• P5: Wet rooms, load-bearing
• P6: Dry area, load-bearing, heavy-duty
• P7: Wet rooms, load-bearing, heavy-duty
At Fundermax, chipboard panels are available with classifications P2, P3 and P5. The product range also includes flame-retardant chipboard panels with fire protection class 1, high-quality MDF panels and versions with an aluminum coating.

Chipboard panels with a P3, P5 or P7 classification are waterproof glued and are therefore ideal for wet rooms. A wide variety of available decors and surfaces offer you even more design options.
Special chipboard screws are used for fastening the panels. They have deep thread ridges but no wedging action, which provides a better grip.
- P2 (standard)
- B1 (flame retardant)
- P3 (damp area. non-load-bearing)
- P5 (humid area. load-bearing)
- MDF
Star Favorit boards in the P3, P5 and P7 classifications are waterproof glued and are therefore ideal for damp areas. Numerous available decors and surfaces further expand the design possibilities.
