In furniture manufacturing, the difference between a good product and a great one often comes down to the details. Quality edgebanding not only protects panels from daily wear and moisture but also plays a crucial role in the overall appearance of finished furniture. As decorative boards continue to evolve with increasingly realistic woodgrains, stone effects and textured surfaces, finding a perfectly matching edge has become an essential part of the production process.
For more than 50 years, REHAU has specialised exclusively in edgebanding solutions, helping furniture makers achieve a consistent, high-quality finish across a wide range of projects. Today, the company offers one of Europe’s largest collections of edgebands, with thousands of colours, décors and surface textures designed to match leading decorative board manufacturers.
Whether producing a one-off bespoke kitchen, fitted bedroom furniture or larger batch production runs, manufacturers face the same challenge: ensuring that every visible detail contributes to a professional end result. Accurate colour and texture coordination between board and edge remains one of the most important factors in achieving this.
REHAU’s extensive matching programme covers popular board collections from manufacturers including EGGER, Kronospan, Pfleiderer and Swiss Krono and much more. This provides furniture makers with access to a broad range of coordinated edgebands without the need for time-consuming colour comparisons or extensive searching for alternatives.
Availability is equally important, particularly for smaller manufacturers working to tight project schedules. With UK stock held in Manchester and next-day delivery available nationwide, REHAU enables businesses to source the edgebanding they need quickly. The absence of minimum order quantities is especially beneficial for bespoke furniture producers who may only require small amounts for individual commissions or specialist projects.
To simplify the specification process further, REHAU offers an online Board Match Finder that allows users to identify suitable edging solutions for leading decorative board collections. A complimentary sample service enables manufacturers to verify colour, texture and finish before committing to production, helping to reduce risk and minimise costly mistakes.
Beyond edgebands themselves, the company also supplies a range of supporting products designed to improve efficiency and achieve a professional finish. These include specialised edgebanding adhesives developed to deliver consistent bonding performance across a variety of applications. Colour-matched self-adhesive cover caps are also available, providing a simple way to conceal screw heads and fixing points while maintaining a coordinated appearance.
In addition to its edgebanding portfolio, REHAU offers complementary interior solutions for furniture manufacturers. The RAUVISIO surface collections combine contemporary design with durable performance for furniture and interior applications, while RAUVOLET tambour door systems provide practical storage solutions for kitchens, home offices and living spaces where space-saving functionality is increasingly valued.
As customer expectations continue to rise, furniture manufacturers are looking for reliable suppliers that can provide not only quality products but also support throughout the specification and production process. With decades of expertise, an extensive matching database and rapid product availability, REHAU continues to help manufacturers deliver furniture that looks as good at the edges as it does on the surface.
