Paneelipõhised

Paneelipõhised refers to a category of construction or manufactured products that are made using panels as their primary structural or functional component. This term is often used in Estonian and can be applied to a variety of applications, including building materials, furniture, and even certain types of vehicles.

In the context of construction, paneelipõhised typically describes building systems that utilize prefabricated panels for walls, floors, or roofs. These panels can be made from various materials such as wood (e.g., oriented strand board, plywood), concrete, metal, or composite materials. The use of panels allows for faster construction times, improved consistency in quality, and potentially better insulation properties depending on the panel's composition. Examples include structural insulated panels (SIPs) and precast concrete panels.

Beyond construction, the term can also describe furniture that is assembled from flat panels, such as cabinets, shelving units, and desks. These are often flat-pack furniture items where users assemble the product from individual panel components using fasteners.

In a broader sense, paneelipõhised can refer to any system or product designed around the concept of interlocking or connecting pre-formed panels to create a larger structure or functional item. The key characteristic is the reliance on distinct panel units rather than traditional monolithic construction methods.
