EGGER
Aimee Fletcher, Product and Design Manager, UK & Ireland at EGGER, reflects on the company’s 2025 performance, and gives an insight into plans for 2026 and beyond.
volatile market, we have managed to hold our ground financially in 2025, through forward planning, ongoing investments into operations and a reliable, in-demand product portfolio. The past year has been particularly busy as we prepared for the new EGGER Decorative Collection 26+, which launched last month. For the first time, EGGER introduced a two-year rolling collection concept. This gives us the opportunity to respond quickly and flexibly to trend developments and changing market requirements.With bi-annual updates, we can deliver new introductions and innovations to help customers keep in step with the times. As part of the collection launch, we have welcomed hundreds of customers to our production site in Hexham, Northumberland, where they explored the new decors and textures that will shape their kitchen and bathroom designs going forward. Feedback has been excellent. A standout highlight is the introduction of PerfectSense Ambiance Square Edge Worktops. PerfectSense Ambiance worktops are the latest development within our well-known, and award-
E
GGERis in a solid position heading into 2026. Despite operating in a
winning, PerfectSense range. First displayed at Interzum in 2025, it is available in three, timeless decors, two granite and one marble. The sleek 20mm worktop thickness makes the elegant replication of solid surfaces even closer. The surfaces feature amatt-gloss effect that is emphasised by using synchronised technology, which mirrors the tactile and visual authentic look of a solid surface. The velvety, warm feel is particularly apparent on F199 PA Black Ambiance Marble, and the striking gold veins across the surface deliver both a luxurious and contemporary aesthetic. All three decors come withmatching splashbacks, upstands, and edging. Additionally, matching lacquered MDF and laminate is available for the two granite decors, F129 PA Beige Ambiance Granite and F128 PA Black Ambiance Granite. Like EGGER’s current worktop range, which
remains unchanged for 26+, the PerfectSense Ambiance worktops are durable, hygienic and require littlemaintenance compared with solid surfaces. They are also heat- and stain-resistant, lightweight, and cost-effective. PerfectSense Ambiance worktops have the added benefit of anti-fingerprint technology which helps give a long-lasting high-quality finish.
Sustainability remains a core focus for EGGER. PerfectSense Ambiance worktops champion this, as they have a chipboard coremade using sawmill by-products, recycledmaterial, and round wood that is unsuitable for further processing, supporting our commitment to resource efficiency and circularity. Beyond PerfectSense Ambiance, the new Decorative Collection 26+ introduces new uni colours including, U220 ST9 Soft Beige, U444 ST9 Cassis and U669 ST9 Estate Green. They pair beautifully with newmaterial and woodgrain decors like F037 ST76 Taormina Travertine, F579 ST20 Champagne Crossed Metal, H3787 ST19 Brown Bolivar Wood and H1316 ST17 BookmatchOak. Weare also expanding the popular Casella
family to include H1388 ST40 Sand Casella Oak, and our TM9 range has been upgraded to an even smoother matt surface, now called TM, available in three stunning new colours, U250 Caramel Beige, U590 Deep Blue, and U398 Dark Berry. There is plenty to look forward to in 2026, with
striking new decors, high performance products, and strong sustainability credentials.Wecannot wait to see what our customers do with our new decors and look forward to supporting them throughout the year.
