Worktops a key part of EGGER’s major product overhaul E
GGER’s newly-launched decorative collection for the UK and Ireland furniture manufacturing sector is not just its biggest- ever, but also showcases the company’s unique ability to match its MFC, MDF, melamine and complementary products.
Central to the new décor collection is a range of ever-more-realistic, deep-textured surface decors for furniture makers. This innovative approach is also demonstrated in its worktop range – where it was the first wood-based panel manufacturer to offer synchronised pore worktops.
Launched last autumn, its revamped worktop range has had a major impact on the KBB industry – combining the natural look and feel of solid wood with all the durability, care and maintenance benefits of laminate.
“The role of the kitchen is changing, with home owners increasingly looking for open plan spaces that are coordinated to create the right look and feel for multifunctional living,“ said EGGER’s head of décor development Elliott Fairlie. “Creating a coordinated look requires materials that either match or complement the worktop.
“And because we also supply the materials that are made into splashbacks, doors, carcasses, shelving, end panels, upstands and plinths, the resources exist to bring that coordinated look together from a single supplier.”

The decision to retain a tight postformed edge in the ‘Contemporary’ range rather than move completely over to the even more fashionable square-edge profile reflects feedback from customers and installers that shows there remains a strong demand for this type of worktop. Using a high-density protective layer along the front of the core board creates an edge that is less susceptible to damage from impact, a vulnerable spot on some postformed worktops, whilst the tight 3mm radius on the postformed edge gives a contemporary look.
For those looking for something even more on- trend, the new square-edge ‘Premium’ range has a sharper, fashionable look and is available in 12 decors. The woodgrain and gloss decors are all 38mm, whilst the six stone and ceramic decors are available in a stylish 25mm thickness. As well as offering the sleeker, thinner worktop look that is growing more popular, it gives the opportunity to better-replicate the unique visual appearance of granite and stone. Premium tops are available in 4100mm x 650mm single edged or 4100mm x 920mm double edged, using 1.5mm ABS edging instead of 2mm to create an even more realistic look
“This really is an area where details matter, added Elliott. “To provide an authentic look, the exposed ends of some of our woodgrain worktops can be

finished off with ‘‘end-grain’’ edging to achieve the look of sawn timber. Or you can make a bold design statement with accent edging – a trend destined to really take off in 2017.”
