Kaindl-Megastore
The Austrian family
business based in Salzburg is internationally acknowledged as one of the
leading producers of processed wood and laminate floorings. In its most
recent business year Kaindl-with a total of 740 employees-achieved a
turnover of Euro 247 million. More than 80% of the production output was
exported to a total of over 50 countries. The products range from medium
density fibre boards (MDF) through chipboards in a variety of finishes
(veneered, laminate-coated, decorative) to work tops with matching
accessories, laminated panels, edgings, windowsills, etc. In the laminate
flooring sector Kaindl is recognised as one of the world's leading and
longest established suppliers. All the raw materials required for the
production of laminate floorings are also produced by the company itself.

production of laminate floorings are also produced by the company itself.
Kaindl's own
state-of-the-art MDF production plant was put on line in early 2000.
One-half of this plant's annual production of medium density fibre board
is used in the manufacture of Kaindl laminate floorings.
M. Kaindl Holzindustrie
is one of the pioneers in the development of new technologies and
innovative processes. Just one example of this is to be seen in continuous
production technology which-in spite of being energy-saving and
environmentally friendly-enables the economic industrial production of
panels.
2) New: "Kaindl
Colour Combinations 2001" A huge selection
of decorative finishes
* Laminated Panels
now available in Door-sized Format as well
* Total of 105 Decorative Designs for Panels, Edgings and Windowsills
* Topical: Grey Tones and Real Metallic Line
* New: 32 mm ABS Edgings
At this year's BWS in
Salzburg M. Kaindl Holzindustrie exhibits the new "Colour
Combinations 2001" for refined and improved wood materials. In the
meantime the Kaindl Collection has been greatly expanded, and now includes
a total of 105 decorative finishes. The "Colour Combinations 2001"
collection is intended for use in conjunction with the product groups
Decorative Panel, Laminated Panel, Melamine Edging, ABS Edging, Work Top,
and Windowsill. From now on the very latest decorative finishes are also
available in door-sized format (2150 x 990 mm) and as 32 mm ABS edgings.
The new collection is particularly effective on work tops, which in turn
can be complemented by matching accessories such as the wall-joining
system in a matching finish.
The Colour Combination
Collection is absolutely in keeping with the latest trend in grey tones
such as Silver-Grey, Titanium, Techno and Platinum. Real Aluminium and
Real High-Grade Steel Laminated Panels from the Kaindl Metallic Line set
finish accents that are smooth and cool. The very latest design highlights
are the Icepearl effects in White, Mint and Grey, and also the extravagant
decorative creations "Ming" and "Window" in the same
tones. Colour signals are set by bright yellow, red, blue and green.
In the wood finishes
department lighter shades such as birch, maple, beech and pear continue to
dominate the market. At the same time, however, dark tones such as wenge,
walnut, oak, and red alder are increasingly popular.

Versatile in application: Work Top System
Products from Kaindl
* Trendy: High-gloss
Panels and 3D Edgings
* Sophisticated Accessory Line
With no less than 78
different decorative designs, the Work Top Line from M. Kaindl
Holzindustrie, to be exhibited at this year's BWS in Salzburg, is
extremely versatile in terms of application. It is not only suitable for
tables, bars and workbenches, but also for furniture faces and, indeed,
throughout the furniture-making industry and the interior design sector.
The wide selection of highly fashionable and classical decorative finishes
perfectly complements the innovative edging design in diverse variations.
High-gloss panels-which can be used with optimum effect in bar
constructions, for example-are very much in the vogue. Furthermore, the
new work top design exploits the use of high-grade plastic edgings in
acrylics and ABS, as well as 3D edgings and solid wood edgings in various
colours. As far as the decorative finishes themselves are concerned, the
accent is on various Corian-like stone effects, as well as on fantasy and
inlay designs.
Another major feature of
this very latest work top offer is the extensive accessory line that
leaves nothing to be desired. For example, customers can choose from a
seemingly endless selection of accessories such as fan grilles, connecting
profiles, corner elements, and niche linings, as well as various matching
wall-joining profiles, edgings, etc.
4) Medium
Density Fibre Boards (MDF) from Kaindl affording numerous further
processing alternatives
* MDF Special Blank
Panels with Deep-drawn Quality
* New: Several Decorative Finish Highlights for Furniture Fronts
The trend-setting wood
material MDF (medium density fibre board) is meanwhile finding countless
market outlets throughout the construction and remodelling sector. MDF is
also ideal as a carrier material for laminate floorings, and in the
furniture-making industry medium density fibre boards are now being
processed into furniture faces, back walls, panels and strips in a whole
host of different designs.
At this year's BWS in
Salzburg Kaindl has made use of different lacquering techniques to
demonstrate how versatile and effective a wood material MDF is after
undergoing further processing. By virtue of their homogeneous structure,
MDF panels from Kaindl are ideally suitable for milling and lacquering-as
well as for being covered with veneers or decorative films. Kaindl also
has production facilities for special MDF blank panels with deep-drawing
quality in 18 and 19 mm thickness (Format 2800 x 2070 mm) for use in the
furniture industry as a high-grade substrate for film-covered furniture
faces. Also at this year's BWS Kaindl will be exhibiting a series of
modern decorative finishes for furniture faces-including Maple and Oak as
highlights from amongst the wood shades-and also examples from the fantasy
and stone-effects range of the shade palette.
With its own MDF
production plant on-site, M. Kaindl Holzindustrie is able to guarantee
optimum flexibility in compliance with the customer's wishes. This
high-tech production plant was built at an investment cost in the region
of Euro 87 million. As much as half of this plant's total annual MDF
production goes into the manufacture of Kaindl's own laminate flooring.
5)
"Veneered by Kaindl" - enhances every style
* International
Selection of Veneer Highlights
* Extravagant Wood Types in Fashion
Kaindl is exhibiting its
latest line, "Veneered by Kaindl," at this year's BWS in
Salzburg, and visitors will be able to see an international selection from
a broad range of veneers available for furniture construction and interior
design purposes, presented on generously sized display areas. Impressive
inlay work in a variety of finishes (lacquered, brushed, stained,
whitewashed and waxed) demonstrate the endless design and application
scope offered by these veneers. "Veneered by Kaindl" lends
itself to immediate further processing without any difficulty in any
quality (body or face).
The absolute fashion
highlights include conservative/timeless birch, representing the widely
popular Scandinavian lifestyle, extravagant whitebeam, as a favourite of
avant-garde furniture designers, and European cherry wood, which conveys a
cosy and lasting value effect with its unusual radiation. Darker kinds of
wood are also in demand. American walnut, for example, is meanwhile
setting new accents. The "Veneered by Kaindl" stock selection
also includes classic favourites such as beech, oak, ash, American cherry,
maple, European maple, alder, spruce and pine. Additionally, the extended
line will offer wood species such as larch, birch (barked or pared), teak,
anegre, mahogany, macore, koto and unsteamed beech.
Veneered with real wood,
the chipboard, MDF and joiner boards from Kaindl satisfy the most
stringent demands of the furniture industry, trade and specialised dealers
throughout the world. Decades of international experience in the
purchasing of veneers, the professional know-how of Kaindl employees, and
the state-of-the-art finishing processes used are the customers' guarantee
for the quality of veneered panels by Kaindl, which have stood the test of
time since the 1960s.
6) Novelty
at the Fair: Innovative Real Wood Floors "Snap by Kaindl wood"
* From May onwards:
Real Wood Floors incorporating Snap automatic interlocking
* Installation is so simple and takes less time
* In the trendy decorative finishes Beech, Maple and Oak
The trade public
visiting this year's BWS in Salzburg will have the opportunity to see an
absolute novelty: a real wood floor fitted with the patented Snap
technology. The first of its kind on the market, this type of floor will
be released for general sale under the name of "Snap by Kaindl wood"
in May of this year. For the first time ever it will be possible to
install real wood floors quickly, simply and without fear of mistakes
thanks to the use of Kaindl's own Snap automatic interlocking technique.
"Snap by Kaindl wood"
is the ideal real wood floor for most rooms in the house-living room,
bedroom, dining room and children's rooms. Quite apart from being hygienic
and so easy to keep clean and spotless, it introduces an atmosphere of
cosiness wherever it is installed. In addition to being so sensationally
easy to install due to the fact that the self-orienting system of the
patented Snap technology functions on the basis of a high-tech
groove-and-tongue profile, and rules out any possibility of making
mistakes, this new real wood floor from Kaindl is also extremely
hard-wearing and robust. This is attributed among other things to "Aquastop
6"-the carrier panel with extremely low swelling values-specially
developed for use in conjunction with the Snap automatic interlocking
technology. In view of its low installation height requirement, real wood
floors featuring "Snap by Kaindl wood" are also best suitable
for the remodelling sector.
Trend Barometer for Real
Wood: At present cherry wood is particularly enjoying a surge in
popularity in the interior design sector, on a scale unprecedented since
the days of Biedermeier. The finely pored wood of the cherry tree imparts
a noble beauty and reflects good taste. Beech and maple rate amongst the
already established classic favourites of European interior designers and
their clientele. During the course of the last year or two, there has been
a growing enthusiasm for oak. indeed, thanks to the development of new
finishing techniques, oak, which was formerly associated with dark and
heavy effects, can now be made to appear in shades that are less heavy and
paler, and with the increasingly popular antique effects.
7)
Fashion Collection in Jumbo-sized Format: "Bigfoot"
* World-wide only
from Kaindl: Herringbone Decorative Designs for Laminate Floorings
* Quick and Simple Installation
* Up to 30% fewer joints
A special highlight at
this year's BWS in Salzburg will be the "Bigfoot" fashion
collection, featuring an extended range of decorative finishes, exhibited
by Kaindl Flooring, an internationally recognised, leading and established
supplier of laminate flooring. This latest development combines the
advantages of the patented floor installation technology "Snap by
Kaindl" with an unusually large format (1324 x 331 x 8 mm) and
exclusive decorative finishes.
"Bigfoot" is
unique world-wide being the only laminate flooring collection also
available in the "Herringbone Look". Already a big hit in
ever-popular beech and cherry finishes, the "Bigfoot" fashion
collection was only recently expanded to include Herringbone Maple and
Herringbone Oak. The latter finishes convey an authentic wood character in
any home or commercial showroom. An effect identical to a parquet flooring
pattern is achieved through the offset installation of the panels. By
virtue of the jumbo-sized panel format, equally impressive optical effects
are achieved with the four and three-strip decorative finishes (available
in beech, cherry, maple, and oak), as well as with the tile and antique
designs.
Fitted with the "Snap
by Kaindl" automatic interlocking system as a standard feature, the "Bigfoot"
collection facilitates clean and precise installation. Indeed, with
jumbo-sized panels installation is much faster, and involves up to 30%
fewer joints. The self-orienting system functions on the basis of a
high-tech groove-and-tongue profile, and rules out the possibility of
installation errors. The specially developed carrier panel-namely "Aquastop
6," possessing extremely low swelling values-makes "Bigfoot"
unusually hard-wearing and robust. The Kaindl Triple Guarantee is
effective for 10 years.
