Continental Offers Cross-Printed Surfaces for the Continuous Coating of Door Panels

Continental has launched cross-printing technology that allows extensive wood-look surfaces to be produced in a cross-printed format for doors. With this innovation, the Surface Solutions business area is offering building owners and architects the opportunity to create natural-looking wood-look doors, even without butt joints, that look as though they were produced using a single piece of wood.

To create this option for the sector, Continental developed a special printing procedure at its location in Weißbach (Baden-Württemberg) that specializes in surfaces for the furniture and construction industry. The new surfaces will be available from the end of 2026, and visitors will get a first glimpse at Fensterbau Frontale, hall 5, booth 202, in Nuremburg, from March 24-27, 2026.

More colors for mattex surface materials

After the mattex surface material, which is based on powder-coated aluminum, made its debut at Fensterbau Frontale 2024, Continental's focus is now on offering even more options for this range as well as for the woodec range. The color palette for windows, doors, garage doors and facades will be expanded accordingly to include new variants. The main focus for the designers is to offer suitable options that pick up on current trends.

For example, additional options for matte looks or natural, earthy tones. When developing products, the experts at Continental follow the principle that the sense of home and comfort begins on the outside, and every building owner should therefore have the opportunity to create highlights in the facade design and express their own individual style.

Continental surfaces for the Exterior Living segment are specially developed for outdoor areas. These surfaces are permanently in use as industrial coatings for diverse building elements such as windows, doors, garage doors and facade panels.
