Austin Wood Works, Inc. recently attended this year's AWFS Fair Woodworking Trade Show in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 22-25th, 2015. With the ever changing technology today, it is very important to gain as much knowledge as possible about new products available, technology and what is trending in the Woodworking Industry. There are so many new products out there it would be impossible to tell you about all of them. So, we want to introduce some new products we believe will be very popular in the near future...
Salt International Corp., this company really has gone over and above most of the of the suppliers we talked with at the show.
Their Cleaf TSS Veneers are astonishingly beautiful. With their Thermo Structured Surfaces (TSS) and 3-D printing technology virtually every sheet is the same, therefore making this product perfect for horizontal, as well as vertical grain matching without fail. With their hardening treatment, the veneers are raised and feel like actual hardwood. Attached are several examples below. Please take a look at their product library on their website Salt International Corp.
Thermo Structured Surface boards powered by Salt are made from unique decorative papers that are treated with melamine resins. Under heat and pressure they become part of the panel itself, hence the term Thermo Structured Surface (TSS). The application of an irreversible thermal hardening treatment and the special preparation and processing, allow remarkable 3 dimensional e ffects, bringing the surface to life and endowing it with extraordinary technical performance.
Salt International Corp. also offers a Handleless System
Decorative Acrylics can be used in cabinetry in a variety of methods
Discover the very best high-gloss acrylic surface. Reflekt is a breakthrough product in high-gloss acrylic panels that delivers three innovations in mirror gloss surfaces:
The most scratch resistant high-gloss surface available
Impeccable surface consistency
Color richness that enhances depth and clarity
Reflekt panels consist of a premium quality MDF substrate with a co-extruded polymer high-gloss acrylic top layer. The core material is carefully selected by Premier to have low surface variance, so the Reflekt surface is not flawed by substrate imperfections.
The panels are PUR (polyurethane) laminated inside a Class-100 (ISO 5) cleanroom, which is a manufacturing process that guarantees Reflekt is as close to a perfect product as technologically possible.
We have the capacity to laminate 4’ x 8’ Reflekt panels with thicknesses ranging from 1/4” to 3”.
Reflekt is suitable for interior vertical surfaces such as kitchen cabinets, vanities, closets, furniture, as well as store fixtures & displays.
Reflekt panels are available in 16 colors – two of them (Fly Yellow and Corsa Red) are exclusively offered by Premier. The scratch-resistant acrylic layer is UV stabilized for lifetime color depth that retains its original luster, with no polishing required.
You can view some of the Reflekt projects on houzz. We also have samples you may view in our showroom.
