Wide range of matte surfaces

A now-established trend is that of the matte surfaces, an integral part of modern interior furnishings. Egger has enriched its range of painted PerfectSense products with decors and innovative, optimized product solutions to design and create matte, high-quality environments. In the Decors Collection 26+ the surface quality of solid-colour decors painted matte on particleboard substrate has been improved and the range of solid colours for matte painted panels has been expanded. 

The latest innovation among the painted PerfectSense products is PerfectSense Ambiance with a matte-gloss effect, also emphasized by the depth of the synchronized finish. All PerfectSense matte surfaces and those with matte finishes present anti-fingerprint properties. 

 

Repeat-free decor for large surfaces

The new repeat-free decor sets new standards in reproducing natural wood effects for applications on large surfaces. As a veneered particleboard panel, the new H1316 ST17 Rovere Bookmatch features a distinctive flame-like appearance without repetitions across the full length of 2,800 mm and a width of 2,070 mm.  In the laminate version there are no repetitions even at a length of 3,050 mm.
