“DESIGN FOR FURNITURE” FROM REHAU
INNOVATIVE SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FROM ONE SOURCE
REHAU has established itself as a leading manufacturer and supplier of polymer-based solutions for a wide
variety of applications within the furniture industry.
Functional and sophisticated surfaces, as well as customised systems for all living and offi ce environments
are developed, produced and marketed using the motto “<strong>Design</strong> for <strong>Furniture</strong>”.
The company’s core competencies in materials development, systems design and surface technology allow
it to drive innovation forward. A passion for the unlimited potential of polymers enables REHAU to regularly
identify new products for companies and consumers.
REHAU’s product ranges include solutions for a wide range of industries such as furniture manufacturing,
automotive, renewable energy, heating, plumbing, fenestration and cable management just to name a few.
Such diversity leads to an inevitable crossover in experience, expertise and technology. This has been
integral to our record of cross-market growth and innovation in whatever markets we have entered.
As an innovator and a market leader in the overall
edgeband production process, REHAU permanently
pushes forward product, design and process
developments. <strong>For</strong> example, REHAU offers a wide
range of decorative designs and solid colours which
are matched to the collections of international
and local board manufacturers. The RAUKANTEX
edgeband collection also includes numerous
creations by REHAU which are used in contrast to
the board.
With the RAUVOLET product line, REHAU
develops and produces systems for tambour
doors for wooden and metal cabinets. Whether
transparent or solid colour design – the focus
is always on the customers’ wishes and
requirements.
The development of the sound absorbing
tambour door, RAUVOLET acoustic-line, supports
REHAU’s claim of continuously driving innovation
in the furniture sector and creating products with
added value.
This patented and multi-award winning system
contributes considerably to the improvement of
room acoustics in open plan offi ces.
In addition, REHAU underlines its high level of
design expertise with matching designs across all
products in the case of edgeband and tambour
doors. In this way, a coordinated selection of
materials for all components guarantees a
completely identical surface appearance and
therefore visually perfect integration.
This ability to meet the most stringent design and
quality requirements is due to REHAU’s extensive
material, process and surface expertise – in
accordance with the motto ”<strong>Design</strong> for furniture”.

RAUKANTEX
SA PREMIUM COLLECTION
RAUKANTEX Visions
Interpretation in glass
As one of man’s oldest materials, glass has always been an important component, not only in architecture and design, but also in daily life.
Glass is a symbol of clarity, light and openness and the areas of application for this material are just as versatile as its diverse colour variant.
With its new RAUKANTEX visions product range, REHAU combines the unique look of real glass with the characteristic properties of polymer
materials, creating new prospects for creative edging design.
The name is in the range
In frosted look, with real glass character or in the innovative graduated design – the new interpretations on the theme of glass surfaces create
an impressive result in modern furniture construction. Three-dimensional depth, transparency and translucency are properties that REHAU
combines in its RAUKANTEX Visions range.

RAUKANTEX Mirror Gloss
Shine at the highest level
Glossy, refl ective surfaces are the hot topic in
current furniture design. In keeping with this
trend, REHAU’s Collection has been expanded
to include an innovative “Mirror Gloss” fi nish
– setting a new standard with a gloss level of
over 85 points.
The “Mirror Gloss” fi nishes are available in a
range of uni-colours, size 23 x 1.3 mm in both
20 m and 100 m rolls.
RAUKANTEX Magic 3D
Edgeband in new dimensions

VENEERS
SA STANDARD RANGE
7
VENEERS
REHAU supplies a range of continuous laminated
veneer edgebanding to suit local woods. The
veneers are soft in application and require little or
no hand sanding to obtain a perfect edge. They are
easily worked to ensure a superior edge fi nish.
Veneers use neither PVA nor urea formaldehyde
glue and will thus not experience seepage
problems of the bonding glue to the surface
layers.
The veneers are available in industry-standard
sizes.

ERGOSOFT
EDGING THAT PROTECTS
Ergosoft edgeband makes soft lines out of hard
edges. This ergonomic edge is the preferred fi nish
for worktops and counters.
Two profi le shapes are available, being teardrop
or crescent form. Ergosoft is supplied in a variety
of colours to suit a wide range of 32 mm boards.
Choose from black, charcoal, tan and silver.
Ergosoft can be manufactured in othery colours
on request.
Ergosoft is fi xed to the pre-routed edge of the
board with a barb. The profi le is pre-tensioned
ensuring a close fi t. <strong>For</strong> installation of Ergosoft
on small radii, the barb has to be notched.

CREATIVE LUXURY
REHAU SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR KITCHENS WITH CHARACTER
9
Good furniture design is all the rage. Individual
and high-quality interior design style is more
important than ever before. The desire for a
touch of individuality extends beyond the living
rooms and bedrooms, right into the kitchen.
Colours, patterns and accessories as well as
items of kitchen furniture themselves are a
crucial means of underlining attitudes to life and
personal taste.
The special challenge this presents is in reconciling
as much individuality as possible whilst retaining
the required degree of functionality and quality.
REHAU meets this challenge with ideas that speak of
creative luxury.
The results are innovative kitchen concepts that
exhibit a love for detail and feature multifunctional
furniture systems and modern storage solutions.

RAUVOLET VETRO LINE
SYMPHONY IN GLASS
RAUVOLET Vetro-line
The Vetro-line provides added perspective with
this new glass tambour door system. It uses
safety glass slats to throw light on the cabinet
contents without revealing too much. This
innovative system creates the translucent glazed
surfaces so essential to modern kitchen design.
The Vetro-line is easy to install and runs smoothly
due to its innovative design. Save installation
time and money with the new ready to install
C-Box cassette. Simply fasten the module into
the carcass and you have a high-quality tambour
door cabinet ready for use in no time at all.
The single pane safety glass stands up to major
stresses, does not scratch and has a distinct
appeal due to its translucent look. The material
is easy to care for and easy to clean. The same
applies to the frame profi les that round off the
high-quality look by virtue of their “cool”
aluminium fi nish.

RAUVOLET ACOUSTIC-LINE
AN INTELLIGENT SOLUTION FOR SOUND ABSORPTION
The trend in offi ce architecture is gravitating towards large open-plan spaces.
However, this upsets the balance of the room’s acoustics and employees are subjected daily to increased
noise levels at work. Nowadays partitions are disappearing in favour of an open-plan concept and even
sound-insulating carpet often has to give way to more attractive parquet fl ooring.
New technical solutions must therefore be found to ensure harmony between modern architecture and
good room acoustics. However, it is above all the interaction of the best confi guration of the fl oor, ceiling,
walls and furniture that determines the possibilities for the optimum acoustics.
REHAU has registered numerous patents for the RAUVOLET acoustic-line roller shutter system. REHAU is
the fi rst company to successfully develop a system that is designed for sound absorption through the use
of special roller shutter profi les in cupboards. REHAU’s development is a highly effective sound absorber
that can be used not only in cabinets but also in partition walls.
The additional advantages of RAUVOLET acoustic-line speak for themselves.
15
<strong>For</strong> architects:
RAUVOLET acoustic-line ensures compliance with
planning regulations (acoustics form part of the
workplace guidelines and are just as important as
the structural design and light).
In the workplace:
1. A fl exible layout allows sound to be reduced
directly at the source of the noise.
2. The right layout also gives employees a sense
of their own private space even in large offi ces
to ensure ideal audibility and making it possible
to blank out intrusive background noises.
3. A fl exible layout fulfi ls current and future
workplace requirements.
4. In the workplace, the furniture not only
functions as storage space, but also has an
intelligent additional benefi t.

HOW IT WORKS
SOPHISTICATED DESIGN – EFFECTIVE SOUND ABSORPTION
RAUVOLET acoustic-line has a special profi le geometry with punched holes along the length of the profi le
and an effective system inside the hollow section.
The acoustic nonwoven fabric inside the profi le acts as an absorption material, soaking up the sound wave
energy when it enters the profi le and at the same time preventing it from re-emerging. This greatly reduces
the reverberation time in the room.
RAUVOLET acoustic-line absorbs noise across the whole frequency range that covers human speech and
the majority of noises throughout the working day, proving itself to be a product with linear absorption.
In most frequency ranges, this patented product absorbs almost seven times as much sound as a
conventional cabinet. On average, the absorption capacity is between 75% and 80%.
