Question 1

What is Smoke Stack by REHAU?

Accepted Answer

Smoke Stack is a solid-core compact HPL panel from REHAU's RAUVISIO noir compact collection. The solid-core compact construction provides superior impact and chip resistance — there is no substrate, the material is HPL through and through. REHAU is a German manufacturer known for surface solutions in cabinetry and architectural millwork.

Question 2

What sizes does Smoke Stack come in?

Accepted Answer

Smoke Stack is available in compact panel format: 1220 × 2800mm (48" × 110") at 13mm (½") thickness. As a solid-core compact HPL, the panel has through-body construction — there is no substrate, making it impact-resistant and suitable for demanding applications.

Question 3

Is Smoke Stack scratch resistant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Smoke Stack features an HPL (High Pressure Laminate) surface with superior scratch, abrasion, and impact resistance compared to standard TFL. HPL is significantly more durable under daily use and commercial wear.

Question 4

What REHAU RAUVISIO collections are available?

Accepted Answer

REHAU offers 8 RAUVISIO collections: (1) brilliant — high-gloss acrylic mirror finish. (2) noir — monotonic matte HPL with anti-fingerprint. (3) noir compact — solid-core compact HPL for extreme durability. (4) shade — supermatte lacquer with thermal self-healing. (5) crystal — glass-effect acrylic. (6) ferro — metallic-effect HPL. (7) terra — deep-textured woodgrain HPL. (8) ingrain — engineered real wood veneer. Each collection uses a different surface technology optimized for its aesthetic.

Question 5

What edge banding options are available for REHAU panels?

Accepted Answer

REHAU panels pair with color-matched ABS edgebanding: 1mm × 23mm in matching finish (gloss, matte, or HPL texture). 0.4mm × 23mm pre-glued for small runs. REHAU is also known for LaserEdge technology — a joint-free edgebanding system where the edge is fused to the panel with no visible glue line, creating a seamless appearance. LaserEdge is available for select RAUVISIO panels.

Question 6

Are REHAU panels suitable for kitchen cabinets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. REHAU RAUVISIO panels are designed for kitchen cabinetry. The noir collection's HPL surface is especially durable for kitchen use — more scratch, impact, and heat resistant than standard TFL. Edges should be sealed — REHAU's LaserEdge provides the best seamless result. Panels are not rated for direct hot-pan contact.

Question 7

How do I clean and maintain REHAU panels?

Accepted Answer

Wipe with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. Anti-fingerprint surfaces resist smudges. For stubborn marks, use diluted isopropyl alcohol. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, acetone, and bleach. Do not place hot items on the surface. For textured HPL surfaces, a soft brush can clean residue from grain grooves.

Question 8

What certifications do REHAU panels carry?

Accepted Answer

REHAU RAUVISIO panels are E1 compliant, CARB Phase 2 compliant, and manufactured under REHAU's global sustainability program. REHAU is a German company with over 70 years of polymer and surface technology expertise. The company operates with ISO 14001 environmental management and ISO 9001 quality management certifications across its manufacturing facilities.
