REHAU Launches 'Glass' Edgebands

REHAU has introduced a new range of edgebands which have the look and feel of genuine glass. RAUKANTEX Vision has been developed in response to the trend towards using glass in kitchen and living room furniture design and provides manufacturers with a practical and cost effective new design option.

RAUKANTEX Vision overcomes the difficulties associated with processing real glass by using polymer materials to produce a range of edgeband finishes which simulate translucent, transparent, frosted and sandblasted effects.

REHAU's technical expertise in polymer has enabled it to deliver ex-stock options in both PP and PMMA material which can be processed using existing machinery and which have the same surface properties and resistance to stress cracking as conventional polymer edgebands.

The new range encompasses frosted glass designs in PP with a translucent appearance, sandblasted or high gloss transparent designs in PMMA, and two step designs which combine frosted glass with an aluminium or stainless effect or a choice of eight background colours.

Allison Tucker, REHAU's Business Team Manager, says: ‘RAUKANTEX Vision has been added to our premium range to give designers and manufacturers the opportunity to create something special in glass. We expect it to have the biggest impact in the kitchen sector but also to find other commercial applications in furniture and shopfitting installations.’
