Innovations price for flexible panels

Wood with a difference: With the design panel Dukta, Kolar (Brunn am Gebirge),offers a flexible and transparent wood product for indoor use. Dukta panels are wooden panels incised on one or two sides. The patented incision process increases the bending ability of the material. The panels are particularly suitable for wall and ceiling applications and for straight or curved surfaces. Free-standing partition elements and furniture can also be made out of it and open up unusual visual aspects.


Dukta is available in four different milling types.  Results are of a different appearance and different property in terms of flexibility and sound absorption, depending on the milling pattern. There is a choice of materials for every taste. The use of the untreated Dukta panels of spruce panel unlacquered, for example, underlines the naturalness of a room. If colour is desired, the MDF Color line offers a wide colour spectrum. Most recently, the flexible panels have also become available with digitally printed surfaces - ideal for commercial establishments.

As part of the opening of the Handwerk trade fair in Wels on March 15th , three companies were honoured for their innovations. Kolar convinced the jury with Dukta and took second place. "The product scores with the combination of a natural material with innovative processing and the resulting, diverse applications. Sophistication and originality are in the foreground of this smart material. Dukta offers versatile uses for modern interior design and thanks to the sound-absorbing effect, the material is also suitable for acoustically sensitive rooms, "was the jury's justification.
 
Kolar has been family-owned for five generations and with 85 years of experience embodies a reliable partner in woodworking for industrial and commercial customers. The company initially specialized in solid wooden mouldings, and gradually more products were created. In addition to mouldings, there are design panels, handrails, trellis, grilles, carved borders and custom-made items in the range. Since its founding, not only the product variety but also the number of employees has increased. At the two locations - Brunn am Gebirge and Bojanovice / CZ - around 150 employees seek to satisfy their customers every day.
