Edging specialist Ostermann has just launched a new surface finish for extremely matt furniture edgings. Processors can now choose from three qualities - Super Matt, Excellent Matt and the newly added Perfect Matt finish.

Board suppliers present an increasing number of matt surfaces in their collections. You will soon establish, however, that there are different types of matt. If you place the boards of different manufacturers next to each other, it becomes clear that not only the diversity of colours and decors, but also different versions of matt must be considered. To present furniture makers with as much choice as possible to find the best solution for the edging, Ostermann has now extended its portfolio of surface finishes. In addition to the existing "Super Matt" and "Excellent Matt" versions, "Perfect Matt" now presents a new option that is even more pleasant to the touch. 17 plain colours are already available with a finish in the new matt quality. Find all new edgings by typing in the search term "#Highlights05" on the Ostermann website www.ostermann.eu. They are available from stock in 1 mm thickness and many widths. All Ostermann ABS edgings can be cut to any required width up to 100 mm on request. Processors working with zero bondline machines can also get their edgings with a functional layer specially made to match the respective technology.

New Finish: Perfect Matt
The new edgings feature a soft and warm matt finish with a uniquely even touch and feel. The surface is non-porous and therefore easy to clean. High scratch resistance and anti-fingerprint properties are obligatory with this variant. Colours range from various shades of white and grey to selected plain colours such as taupe, burgundy, black, green, and blue.

Classic Finish: Excellent Matt
Edgings with an Excellent Matt finish have a dull matt, coarse surface and feature anti-fingerprint properties. They are highly scratch-resistant and the range of colours is even bigger. Also, these come in different thicknesses: 1 and 2 mm are available.

Standard Finish: Super Matt
Super matt edgings have a smooth matt standard surface. They are available from Ostermann in a wide range of colours and in different thicknesses. Unlike the previously mentioned variants, this one does not have anti-fingerprint properties, which is why the Ostermann experts recommend the super matt surface finish mainly for less exposed elements, such as furniture parts that are rarely touched or come into contact with grease.

Tip: The Right Cleaner
The new REDOCOL greenline Finish Cleaner Perfect Matt was specially developed for extremely matt surfaces and effectively removes fingerprints or spots that inevitably occur when installing furniture without leaving streaks.
