FIT SHOW 2017

CENTRE OF ATTENTION FOR PVCU SKINS

At the FIT Show , Röchling Engineering Plastics once again demonstrated that it is the market leader in the domain of thermoformable PVCu skins for manufacturing house door panels .
»»
The centre of attention was the decorative wooden panels , wood grains Trovidur ® Astrawood ® -Cool and the white PVCu skins covering layers Trovidur ® ESV-TRX that have been successful on the market for many years . Glass fibre reinforced profiles made of Durostone ® for windows and doors were also on display .
IMPORTANCE OF COLOUR CONFORMITY
When it comes to decorative wooden panels wood grains , colour conformity with the profile that is used is of great importance . A high degree of weathering stability also plays an important role . We therefore work closely with Renolit , the leading manufacturer of decorative and wooden foils for profiles and deep drawing thermoforming applications .
The Fit Show provided the opportunity to present the latest colour match , “ Astrawood ® Cool Piedmont A ” ( Rosewood ), which demonstrates perfect colour conformity with the window profile film of the same name . In the market , we say Rosewood , however in most cases we see the Renolit Decor Black Cherry and Piedmont A , which represents the originals of the rosewood types .
Our retail distribution partner , Thermovac Plastics Ltd . in Dewsbury , has more than twenty other decors in Euro Size and Standard in stock in addition to Piedmont A . Immediate and continuous availability is thus assured .
The correct colour match with the profile is also enormously important for white panels . Röchling therefore has more than 70 different shades of white in the product range that can be supplemented with further shades as needed . We are capable of matching any colour and to reproduce it continuously with the use of a fully automated mixing facility !
PRIORITISING QUALITY Quality is one of the top priorities at Röchling , and for this reason every single panel is visually checked during assure for perfect stability in any weather .
Besides the thermoplastic panels , Röchling also offers Durostone ® GRP profiles that can be manufactured according to a client ’ s drawing . Areas of application are , for example , threshold profiles , profiles for windows and door frames as well as reinforcement for PVCu window profiles . The GRP profiles have better thermal insulation than metal profiles with an equally low weight .
We thank all visitors to our trade fair booth at the FIT Show and are looking forward to 2019 !
