As reflected by exhibitors on the autumn trade fair circuit, linoleum fronts are celebrating a comeback in kitchen design. Furniture makers who wish to implement this kitchen trend for their customers can find matching linoleum edgings from Ostermann.
Linoleum in the kitchen goes as far back as the early 20th century, when worktops of sideboards were coated with this robust material. Modern plastics then took over, and durable linoleum disappeared for a longer period. Now, it is experiencing something of a resurgence, favoured for its antistatic and antibacterial properties.
Furniture makers who want to use linoleum for kitchen fronts to create something special for their customers can get the surface material in rolls or cut to size from Ostermann. Edgings made from the same material finish off the furniture and give it a truly high-grade look.
Ostermann stocks all surfaces and matching edgings in 24 modern colours. Alternatively, it can also supply ready-to-install linoleum furniture fronts made to measure with matching linoleum edgings. All information on the available surfaces, edgings and services can be found under the search term “highlights12” on the Ostermann website www.ostermann.eu.
Ostermann linoleum edgings have proven their practical worth in manifold applications since their introduction to the market. They are available in three widths (26, 36 and 46 mm) from stock and can be applied either with an edgebanding machine or manually. For machine processing, Ostermann’s experts recommend using a PUR hotmelt adhesive, such as REDOCOL Kantomelt PUR.
Applied as fronts with light and bright colours such as “Spring green”, “Orange blast”, or “Pistachio”, Ostermann’s Furniture Linoleum Desktop immediately brings a cheerful mood to the kitchen. For a more discreet look, the company also offers rolled goods for pressing in many other neutral colours. The corresponding backing is important when processing the rolls.
Customised cutting
Anyone who has ever processed linoleum knows that cutting it to size is not always easy due to the inherent tension of the rolls. Large fronts also require a sufficiently large and clean work surface. To make work easier for the processor, Ostermann supplies linoleum not only in rolls, but also customised in length and width on request.
Ready-to-install fronts
Building a high-quality kitchen is even easier if you have Ostermann deliver the linoleum-covered furniture components ready for installation. Customisation is done via the configuration tool, where you can directly place your order. There are different substrate materials and various solutions for the edging available.
