REHAU has expanded its RAUVISIO crystal acrylic surface line with the new agate colour collection, featuring three shades: Atlantico, Laguna and Terriccio.
The agate collection joins the diamond, obsidian, vermarine and mineral collections, all of which are inspired by gemstones. Offered in polished finishes, the new colour collection brings a rarified luster to designs with its sleek reflective gloss. The lightweight yet durable crystal polymer surface creates a deep and multifaceted aesthetic when finished with beveled REHAU LaserEdge technology.
RAUVISIO crystal launched in 2013 with three colours, expanding over the years to feature trend-setting colours that draw inspiration from the earth’s depths. The mystique of RAUVISIO crystal acrylic surface is its stone-hard nearly 2 mm clear acrylic top layer that provides intense reflectivity, entrancing optical depth with crisp facets and superb UV- and scratch-resistance. With natural and polished finishes, designs from mineral to mirror, board and slim configurations, RAUVISIO crystal is REHAU’s most versatile line. The three new shades of the agate collection add to RAUVISIO crystal by creating a layered aesthetic of luxury that emits waves of serenity in any space.
“RAUVISIO crystal is our most unique line, allowing for bold colour play,” said Jesse Collins, director of marketing and communications at REHAU. “Our new agate collection keeps the line on trend with the market movement toward blue hues and we are using this opportunity to warm things up with the increasingly popular brown. We’re excited to energize the line with our new, vibrant collection.”
RAUVISIO crystal is offered as boards, 4 mm wall panels and edgeband or fabricated panels and cabinet doors. On boards, panels and doors, the crystal laminate and a colour-matched balancing backer are applied using PUR glue to an MDF core that is CARB2, TSCA Title VI certified. Panels and doors are finished with perfectly matched REHAU LaserEdge, then beveled for a convincing replication of back-painted or frosted cut glass. RAUVISIO crystal is 50 per cent lighter and 10 times more break resistant than real glass, yet as easy to work with as engineered wood.
