Under its trade fair slogan “REHAU, YOUR CREATIVE CAPITAL”, the polymer specialist is inviting you to this year’s Interzum.

The various product ranges will be displayed in an urban planning format that translates the slogan’s creative nuances in an interesting way. This demonstrates all solutions for the furniture industry and interior design, from the RAUVISIO surface ranges, the RAUKANTEX edge-banding materials, REHAU Acoustic Solutions, through to the outdoor living range RELAZZO.

Our trade fair slogan implemented perfectly

From 5–8 May 2015, REHAU is presenting itself at the international trade fair for the furniture-supply industry in Cologne at stand E30 in Hall 8. Our trade fair slogan “REHAU, YOUR CREA-TIVE CAPITAL” plays on the creative possibilities that the polymer specialist offers in its compre-hensive product portfolio. As creative potentials can be turned into creative values, on a semantic level, “capital” can mean both accrued value and a country’s capital city. The key visual for interzum is therefore a city skyline. When you take a closer look, you can see that the city silhouette has been enhanced by adding various modules and solutions from REHAU’s business capital.

And the trade-fair stand also continues the city theme, depicting an urban environment, including cinema, market place and other familiar features of city life. Not only does it include spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms and offices, but also retail shops and a commercial work-shop. The market place is located in the centre, its main attraction an obelisk sporting the new colours of the RAUVISIO surface programme.

Solutions for all areas of the furniture and interior design sectors

The products with which REHAU supports the furniture industry – in some cases, for decades – will be presented at the trade fair stand. New product developments and refinements will also be catered for.

Perfect high-gloss surfaces for kitchen, bathroom and interior design

At interzum 2015 in May, REHAU will present a new colour collection for its glass laminate RAUVISIO crystal, developed in collaboration with colour expert Professor Axel Venn. As with the high-gloss laminate RAUVISIO brilliant – an extended application spectrum will also be introduced.

The most impressive feature of the glass laminate, RAUVISIO crystal is the ultimative flexibility it offers in the production of fronts, niches and furniture end panels and all this in a highly desirable glass optic. Edgeband material perfectly matched to the RAUVISIO crystal designs ensures a high end finish, and one which technically supersedes all predecessors. The extra-thin glass laminate RAUVISIO crystal slim was honoured with the “interzum Award 2015 – high product quality”.

RAUVISIO brilliant is a high-gloss laminate for coating vertical furniture fronts and is the perfect alternative to other costly lacquered solutions. The “zero joint “technology applied to permanently fuse the edgeband to the board produces a perfect overall gloss finish, one with lasting UV resistance and excellent, enhanced colour depth.

One edge for all zero-joint technologies

Zero Joint edgebanding technology has made its way into almost all areas of the furniture industry in recent years. REHAU recognized this technology’s enormous potential early-on, and was the first market provider to offer a pure-polymer edgebanding solution – RAUKANTEX laser edge. Subsequent to this, other innovative technologies have established themselves in the market in addition to true laser processing. These application methods, namely hot-air, plasma and NIR, enable the permanent joint- and adhesive-free connection of edge-band to board and provide an optimised production process. RAUKANTEX laser edge has therefore become RAUKANTEX pro: a single edge suitable for all processing technologies. Apart from the new name, there’s absolutely no change to the proven quality. RAUKANTEX pro consists of a special polymer functional layer, one precisely colour-matched to the visible, upper side of the edge-band and, which when processed correctly, will give a virtually seam free finish, regardless which zero jointing application method employed.

System solutions for the custom kitchen of tomorrow

REHAU offers a complete range of system solutions, all of which can either be used individually as complete systems in their own right to create a feature for extra impact or can be incorporated alongside other REHAU products to create a unique, overall harmonious finish - REHAU design synergy at its best. For a perfect example of this, look no further than frame4 RAUVOLET metal-lic-line, an elegant guide system for the proven RAUVOLET metallic-line roller shutters. Use this system to stunning effect as a standalone centre piece or combine with one of the many other metallic products to create that overall metallic WOW factor.

Always striving to embrace new ideas, a competition for students at the Selb Vocational College resulted in the development of an attractive, new interpretation of the standard wall sealing pro-file. The product, RAUWALON perfect-line is an attractive, new interpretation of the standard wall sealing profile and is neater than other systems available on the market. Its invisible lower sealing lip ensures a seamless transition from worktop to wall without overlooking the all important, protective function of this type of sealing profile.

REHAU Acoustic Solutions: flexible solutions for uninterrupted concentration

As part of the Acoustic Solutions range, REHAU has developed a portfolio of functional products for the office environment, proven to provide effective, attractive solutions, without sacrificing design. These products function primarily in the immediate proximity of the office worker himself, which means they are more effective and flexible than any elements incorporated within the building’s exo-structure. With RAUWORKS screen, REHAU offers a coordinated product family of acoustically effective screen and partition systems. To further enhance its portfolio, REHAU has developed RAUVOLET acoustic line, a patented, acoustic roller shutter system, the only roller-shutter system in its class to absorb sound linearly across the entire frequency range. REHAU will be presenting the fabric roller shutter, RAUVOLET fabric-line for the first time at interzum 2015. With its sleek appearance appearance and acoustic effectiveness, this product is bound to make a significant contribution to creating a harmonious office atmosphere.
