The combination of surfaces and light to create a unique atmosphere anywhere

Infinite possibilities for combining aesthetics, functionality and playing with light

Thanks to REHAU products such as RAUVISIO crystal and RAUKANTEX lite, lumina and light up edges, there are endless possibilities for combining aesthetics, functionality and playing with light. Indeed, light has become a real topic and an important criterion in interior design today. After all, it creates atmosphere, comfort and design in the private sphere as well as in offices, hotels and stores.

Obviously aware of this challenge, REHAU has developed a range of inspiring solutions in its broad product range to give spaces a unique personality and originality. 

A perfect example is the RAUVISIO crystal polymer laminate (available in 33 colors, including a mirror finish), which can be applied to the front of pedestals, furniture, credenzas, etc. It is very easy to mill and machine, both on the surface and on the back, making it completely translucent. This makes it possible to create interesting lighting effects, for example to display icons and logos, which are invisible on the smooth surface when the light is off, but appear as if by magic when the light is on.

Especially in modern designs, it is important to hide elements such as switches or lamps that can disturb the harmony of minimalist environments. In this regard, it is interesting to note that touch technology can be installed directly behind the wall, replacing switches with illuminated symbols. This solution is both visually appealing and hygienically clean. 

Another solution proposed by REHAU in this area is the RAUKANTEX lite edgebanding, which is capable of transforming the most inconspicuous areas or elements of a room into a unique decoration thanks to the intelligent use of lighting. The light source, generated by LED strips embedded in a decorative panel, passes through the translucent parts of the edging. This allows you to play with contrasts thanks to the LED strips and their programming in intervals or color changes to create a sophisticated atmosphere.  

RAUKANTEX lumina edging, on the other hand, does not use artificial sources, but the edging, thanks to its special luminous pigments, is able to absorb and re-emit ultraviolet or artificial light, creating original lighting effects that bring furniture to life. RAUKANTEX light up edging also stores sunlight to glow for several hours in the dark, making it ideal for illuminating the contours of objects at night or in the dark. 

Continuing the overview of products that offer a perfect synergy between surface and light, the RAUVISIO crystal mirror stands out, REHAU's alternative to the classic mirror. One of its main advantages is that with this material, which can be worked with traditional carpenter's tools, you can let your imagination run wild and create shapes that are impossible to achieve with glass. It can also be milled on the back to allow light to shine through.

In short, creating totally unique environments by combining high quality, design and functionality and playing with all the possibilities of light on surfaces is now a reality thanks to the versatility, adaptability and innovation of REHAU solutions.
