Schattdecor achieves finish foil making technology

 Friday, September 13, 2019

In 20 years of development and research, significant progress has been made in the field of finish foil products “Made by Schattdecor.” New products were launched and customer needs were created and met.

 

Since the company began producing foil in 1999, the international team has succeeded in imitating nature more and more realistically – up to a deceptively real imitation, as the surface specialist Schattdecor has proven with the two new products Smartfoil Nature, an extremely natural-looking surface, and Smartflex Nature, its particularly flexible and water-resistant counterpart on PP foil designed for furniture applications.

 

In addition, Schattdecor has always consciously made room for innovation, inspiration, and creativity, and this has most recently produced what the company refers to as the Art Collection. With its Art Collection, Schattdecor is once again demonstrating how versatile surface design can be thanks to technological capabilities and development expertise.

 

When Colour Becomes Art

The Art Collection’s distinctive look is based on a special marbling technique known as “Turkish marbling” or “ebru.” The word “ebru” means “the art of marbling” or “painting” on water. In this process, different colors of paint are applied to the surface of a glue-and-water mixture, and then manipulated to form shapes, flowers, or other decorative patterns. The designs are colorful, unique, and are created at random.

 

The Art Collection by Schattdecor seizes on this technique and adds a special touch. In a special process, ink is sprayed onto coated paper to create a special colour gradient – a pattern – that isn’t printed (as is usually the case). This results in metallic pigments, vibrant colours, and large-scale designs that do not repeat themselves – real highlights in any living space. Each design is unique, but its color is repeatable and reproducible.
