Synergy Thermal Foils

Last month we introduced three new deep-embossed oak designs to our Matching Program through special arrangement with Uniboard. This month we are excited to announce the addition of a fourth 3DL oak design to the program: Tektonik.

Tektonik, like the previously released Natura, Taupe and Ecru, matches TFL and HPL panels available exclusively through Uniboard distributors.

Uniboard’s Narbonne Oak collection is characterized by its simple, slightly truncated cathedrals, clear lines, and small knots. Due to its color and homogeneous texture, these classic oaks can be used universally, including for furniture, cabinets, closets and architectural woodwork projects.

Synergy Thermal Foils has a perfect match with Uniboard Taupe TFL and HPL panels.

Synergy Thermal Foils, in collaboration with Uniboard, introduces the Narbonne Oak collection of textured 3DLs. All three colors – Natura, Taupe (featured above) and Ecru – have matching TFL and HPL panels available exclusively from Uniboard distributors.

This Oak is characterized by its simple, slightly truncated cathedrals, clear lines, and small knots. Due to its color and homogeneous texture, these classic oaks can be used universally, including for furniture, cabinets, closets and architecutral woodwork projects.

GRIS

Synergy Thermal Foils introduces two new walnut designs to its extensive in-stock 3DL collection. Gris and Mineral are the latest matches to embossed-in-register Lakeland Walnut TFL from Kronospan, joining previously available Cocoa and Oatfield. All four walnuts are part of an exclusive North American arrangement between STF and Kronospan.

Austria-based Kronospan has invested nearly $1 billion to develop and grow its multi-faceted manufacturing facility in Oxford, Ala., since its initial start-up in 2008. When Kronospan began producing particleboard in Fall 2019, it became the only manufacturer in North America to produce MDF/HDF, MUF/UF resins, treated paper, laminated HDF and TFL/MF PB, laminate flooring, and particleboard on one site.

In case you missed it, Synergy President Amir Bakhtyari, was featured in the Q3 2022 issue of Surface & Panel magazine. (Note: Please bear in mind that his comments were submitted back in July. Supply chain challenges and gas price pressures have largely stabilized, only to be replaced by economic inflation concerns.)

Bakhtyari responded to a trio of questions poised by the editors of S&P. He shared his thoughts and experiences about ongoing supply chain challenges, including some of the initiatives Synergy has taken to service customers through these extraordinary times.

“Our response has included stocking up inventories of foil at our expanded South Florida facility and adding a warehouse on the West Coast to service customers. We can cover the customers who buy one each of eight colors but when a customer needs material for a 150-unit project, we encourage them to plan ahead.”

He also addressed design trends. “I think the biggest emerging trend is matching programs. I don’t hear a lot of cabinet or store fixture customers say they just want white oak or walnut foil anymore. What they really want is a white oak or walnut thermofoil that matches a specific brand of TFL or HPL.”

CMG describes Despertar, which translates at “awakening” in English, as “an intense, vibrant, and highly saturated orange that is symbolic of the sun’s power and the rich life of the earth, all suggesting great growth and strength.
