Closer to the original than ever before: the new "Authentic Woodpore " structure by Thermopal

Modern furniture design and interior design are meanwhile inconceivable without naturalness and authenticity. This theme also runs through major sections of the Thermopal collection and "Authentic Woodpore" now characterises an entirely new surface finish. A wooden structure has never been this close to the original.

"Matt Lacquer" by Thermopal: for more quality in direct coating

"Matt surfaces always represent a balancing act", claims Maren Wilbrandt, Décor Manager at premium manufacturer of wooden materials Thermopal. “The new classical surface texture 07 “matt laquer” emit’s like no other two quality ratings”. Despite the fact that there is currently a great demand for matt surfaces, high-quality products are still few and far between.

Rustic and yet subtle: Thermopal enriches timeless design with “Oak Pegasus”

Thermopal is introducing three variations of a new oak for the first time at the Euroshop trade fair: subtly planked with a clear grain, “Oak Pegasus” looks rustic and yet elegant at the same time. And in doing so, the wood materials manufacturer from Leutkirch in Germany’s Allgäu is adding a further facet to timeless design.

Thermopal design “Oxygen Wood” inspires the imagination

This design loves to make a big entrance: rounded counters, perhaps in a shop interior, restaurants or hotel foyers will really catch the eye in “Oxygen Wood”. And large living and bedroom furniture can also handle the design which, from a distance, could also be taken for a peeled veneer.

Greater design freedom and planning safety for ship interiors: Thermopal receives the “wheel” for Marina flameprotect compact

As of now, Thermopal’s flame resistant decorative panel flameprotect compact is entitled to bear the “wheel”, which means that the material can also be used for ship interior fittings where special fire safety requirements apply. This is thanks to it having received the appropriate approvals from Bureau Veritas, symbolised by the wheel pictogram, and its rating as a “Surface material with low flame-spread characteristics”.

New in Thermopal's fire protection programme: MDF Composite type F for furniture and projects

Thermopal has added a new HPL composite board to its extensive fire protection range: MDF Composite type F consists of a flame-retarding laminate and fire-retardant MDF core material, and is classified to Euro class B-s2,d0. This means the homogeneous material is ideal for use wherever the requirements for burning behaviour and edge quality are higher than usual.

The ship designer’s first choice: Thermopal shapes the design of the Norwegian Epic

It truly is an international ship. Built in France and based in Miami (USA), the Norwegian Epic set sail on its first major voyage to the Caribbean beginning of July. The interior of this unique entertainment ship was designed by the Swedish offices of Tillberg Design, with whom Thermopal has had a close cooperation for many years. They fitted out the 2100 passenger cabins of the Norwegian Epic with high quality high-pressure laminates from Leutkirch.

Designs, Surfaces, Technology: Thermopal’s complete collection appeals for its unparalleled wood materials competence

Thermopal completes its brand relaunch with its new collection folder. Together with the complete programme it contains the full range of products offered by the premium manufacturer of wood materials. Interior fitters, architects and planners will find all the main information on designs, surfaces, materials and edges – clearly structured and with original HPL patterns. A CD with repeatable textures is also available so that 3D design, animation and CAD can be used to create plans quickly and true to the originals.

Thermopal’s new high gloss exceeds current gloss quality by far

Thermopal, the wood materials specialist, has produced a new high gloss quality for its entire design range. Thanks to the innovative technology of its new impregnation line plus intensive research into and development of the resin compositions, the premium supplier has been able to increase its degree of gloss by an additional 20 gloss points. Whether direct coated or applied to a high-pressure laminate, this new “high gloss” structure is far superior to the company’s earlier glosses.
