NATURAL LOOKING MATT FINISH
New RENOLIT EXOFOL PFX Super-Matt
» » MATT SURFACES ARE IN VOGUE,
and not just in interior design or the
automotive sector. There is also widespread
demand around the house for surfaces that are
pleasant to the touch - the attractive, the more
fashionable. With its new finish for exterior
films, RENOLIT is now raising the bar for
window profiles, door panels and facades. The
surface specialists from Worms have combined
the deep, dynamic wood texture VLF with a
transparent PVDF layer, creating an extremely
natural look. “This texture is practically
indistinguishable from real wood, neither
visually nor in terms of touch,” says Product
Manager Franz Josef Weber.
RENOLIT EXOFOL PFX Super-Matt
is the name of the new film which is based
on the unplasticised PVC film RENOLIT
EXOFOL PX and combined with the
PVDF top coat already well known from
the premium product RENOLIT EXOFOL
FX. This fluoric plastic behaves similarly to
a Teflon coating on frying pans. It improves
surface protection and increases the film’s
resistance to dirt and chemicals, and even
graffiti can be easily removed. “Its low surface
tension makes the film dirt-repellent and easy
to clean. Even on this very smooth surface,
dust and dirt particles will not stick to the
film,” says business unit manager Stefan
Friedrich, describing the low maintenance
of the new development. Water, soap or
detergent as well as a soft brush or sponge are
sufficient for cleaning. ‘Even on this very
smooth surface, dust
and dirt particles will
not stick to the film’
SURFACE EMPHASIZES
WOOD CHARACTER
RENOLIT EXOFOL PFX Super-Matt
launches with four oak decors in different
colours: Honey Oak, Ginger Oak, Pepper Oak
and Weissbach Eiche, whose authentic designs
are particularly well suited to the strikingly
different woodgrain surface finish. With a
subtle sheen emanating from the emboss
valleys, the surface resembles a natural, matt
finished oak. As with all RENOLIT EXOFOL films, Solar
Shield Technology (SST) is an integral part of
the construction. IR-reflecting colour pigments
reduce the temperature differences between the
outer and inner profile surfaces. In this way,
the profiles retain their shape and windows and
doors retain their exact fit. For easier processing,
RENOLIT EXOFOL PFX also has a primer
on its reverse side. The warranty periods for
the new film are the same as for the proven
RENOLIT EXOFOL PX film.

always looking to expand on its ideas for
production and now being able to spray in
house ensures that the highest quality control
is taken throughout the manufacturing
process; customers can choose from any RAL
colours for their door and frame.
Force 8 has started to expand on its
decadence door range by designing two tone
etched composite doors. These new designs,
the Zermatt and Geneva door are industry
first designs that have already proven to be
popular. The demand for coloured doors has
driven the market for a while, but no one had
thought of combining two colours in such a
contemporary fashion. The main colour of the
door is Anthracite Grey with a vast choice of
the secondary colour.
Dennis Sumner, Managing Director said:
“The biggest decision for us to colour our
own doors was that more of our customers
are requesting coloured doors, especially with
the very much popular Anthracite Grey and
Chartwell Green. Colour is key to any home
