For all edges and borders – the edgeband RAUKANTEX folding

The desire for harmonious front panel solutions, individuality and modern interior designs – whether in the kitchen, the living room or even for interior doors – is continuously increasing. Intelligent product solutions are therefore the key to a constant flow of new design possibilities.

With RAUKANTEX folding, we offer you a high-quality edgeband made from polypropylene* that can be shaped in various ways as part of the soft-forming process. 

The result: unique, handleless front panels without compromising on quality. The possibilities of the filigree side-panel construction are also manifold.

* We recommend using polypropylene. Other edgeband materials must be tested for the specific application.

Be it J, C, L/rolled or even roof-shape: RAUKANTEX folding is the solution.

Soft-forming – simply better with thermoplastic edgebands

Polymer edgebands have clear advantages over melamine edgebands. And these advantages can be seen throughout their processing and post-processing, their resistance properties and, ultimately, their quality and design.

High quality. Innovative. Polymer.

Doors with invisible joint edgebands come with countless advantages: they are extremely long-lasting, durable, with the best cleaning properties, soft edges on the rebate and non-rebate sides of the door and a high-quality finish.

REHAU has developed an edgeband solution specially for this area of use, complete with a functional layer that adheres to a wide range of different bolt materials.

A folding process that does not involve any prior carving into the edgeband has become the state of the art in the door industry, as has the use of polypropylene and laser processing.
