Surfaces that touch

With its exterior films, Hornschuch continues toset new standards, both visually and technically. The high-quality designs are used in the lamination of window profiles, doors, garage doors, and façades. Here, the topic of structure and therefore also feel is becoming increasingly important. Due to its special expertise in embossing technology, Hornschuch offers competent, convincing solutions here. Hornschuch’s goal is to create surfaces that touch.

Exquisite grinding Look

The topic of structure and feel is now finding its way into construction elements. These, too, must be pleasant and appealing to touch. The exclusive and brand-new exterior window profile film skai® x-brush was inspired by a technical application in automotive engineering. Highly precise laser engraving makes it possible to portray the detailed and contoured grinding look with never before seen sharpness. Precision on a nano level leads to the deceptively realistic, delicate, and non-repeating result: opposing grinding marks meet at a slanted angle and give the window profile film skai® x-brush a very lively, yet technical-dynamic look. In metallic colors, the surface has an iridescent effect. The light refraction changes depending upon the viewing angle. The exquisitely designed exterior film perfectly matches modern architecture and will be introduced in the colors steel blue, black brown, and titanium. The design is particularly well-suited for large-format applications on construction elements such as garage doors, house doors, and façades.

Like powder-coated Aluminium

The success story of the innovative exterior film skai® Alux began exactly two years ago with its premiere at the last FENSTERBAU FRONTALE. skai® Alux is used for the lamination of window profiles, doors, garage doors, and façades, in order create artistic accents on building exteriors. During the printing process, effect pigments are used, which together with the embossing create the look of powder-coated aluminium and the fine shimmering effect. The feel of the surface also mimics that of powder-coated metal. skai® Alux has now established itself successfully in the market and is especially popular in the color DB 703. At FENSTERBAU FRONTALE 2016, Hornschuch will continue the success story of the innovative material with an additional color: the color graphite is impressive with its very elegant darkness.

Oak reinterpreted

Several years ago, Hornschuch created quite a stir at FENSTERBAU FRONTALE. With skai® Sheffield Oak light, the company from Weissbach presented a new wood design that was more natural and lifelike than ever before. skai® Sheffield Oak portrays a subdued, elegant oak, in which the liming of the pores that are typical for this type of wood create accents and the numerous color variations produce a harmonious overall appearance. Due to the success of this modern design, Hornschuch presented two additional colors at the last FENSTERBAU FRONTALE: skai® Sheffield Oak grey and skai® Sheffield Oak brown. They, too, were a complete success in the market. The surface specialist is now completely reinterpreting the main design in the market with its new product skai® Sheffield Oak colonial and will present it at FENSTERBAU FRONTALE 2016. FENSTERBAU FRONTALE visitors will decide: here, Hornschuch will now present the entire color spectrum of the successful design.

Decorated Façade

The surface specialist Hornschuch demonstrated at several construction sites in Southern Europe that it is competent and successful in the area of façades. At the end of 2015, the surface specialist was involved in a construction project in its home town. Since recently, the new civic centre in Weissbach is adorned by a plastered façade combined with façade panels that were designed by Hornschuch exclusively for this application on the plinth – a real eyecatcher. The special design skai® Cemento was specifically developed for this construction project. skai® Cemento is an exterior film with the look of slate, which is structured by a graphic pattern of straight, seemingly endless lines. The area within the lines seems varied and rough. The harmonious color concept of the façade also contains other construction elements in the color DB 703 such as exterior doors and window profiles that are laminated with skai® Alux film. This results in an unmistakable, unique building façade, making it a hit with architects. Hornschuch also used the look of this innovative façade at FENSTERBAU FRONTALE 2016 in Nuremberg to design its trade fair stand, thus signalling the beginning of the use of skai® exterior films on façades in Central and Northern Europe.
