OBERFLEX PRODUCT RANGE
Oberflex
Oberflex is a high pressure laminate with a unique difference
– it features a real wood veneer finish.
Oberflex is a popular material for architects and designers
because it combines the aesthetic beauty of real wood with
the performance and durability of high pressure laminate.
This means a tough surface which is abrasion, impact and
scratch resistant and also resistant to UV light and cigarette
burns.
Oberflex is available in over 100 different wood species
ranging from dark woods such as Mahogany and Wenge
through to lighter Sycamore, Ash and Birch. There are
several tints available and the veneer slicing method used in
its manufacture gives specifiers the choice of straight-grain
or flowered veneer, as well as bookmatched or randommatched
finishes. It can be bonded onto most substrates to
provide a visually appealing and low maintenance backdrop
with long life cycle performance.
The range comprises several collections and included in the
UK offering are:
OBERFLEX AND PRESTIGE OBERFLEX –
Comprehensive standard range of pre-finished wood veneer
laminates, available in a vast selection of veneer species,
with matt, satin, brushed or relief textures and various tint
options.
CHIC AND POP – The new Chic & Pop Collection inspired
from current trends, combines two radically opposed styles.
The Chic Collection introduces new whitened, grey, natural
and chocolate tints applied on walnut and zebrano wood
veneers, together with a new Astrakhan finish. A classical,
timeless, elegant and chic collection. The Pop Collection
reveals the natural structure of the wood under new and
unexpected tints. These vibrant fluorescent tints, never seen
on natural wood veneers, are offering offbeat and daring
answers to modern, coloured and pop ideas.
TEXTURED WOODS – A highly effective collection of
nuances of white, black and grey combined with textured
veneers. There are various finishes available including a
tremendous pearlescent finish. This blend of silky and metal
effect adds more than ever an amazing lightness to the
gouged, clawed, sea, hammered, gator and sables wood
textures.
NATURAL SHADES – In addition to the already impressive
selection of Textured Woods, the Natural Shades collection
has been produced using a unique process adapted from the
gouged, sea-wood and gator patterns and combined with
veneer species. The end result is a striking shadow and
colour contrast with very natural nuances.
SPICED WOOD – A collection created using various
coloured tints on contrasting veneers which are then
processed to create a highly attractive striped two-tone
effect. The pepper, nutmeg, star anise, cumin, liquorice and
sesame finishes are complemented by a brushed texture
throughout the range.

OBERFLEX PRODUCT RANGE
Obersound
Obersound are ready-for-use panels consisting of a
substrate bonded on one side with an Oberflex real wood
veneer laminate, and counterbalanced on the other side. The
custom-made panels can be supplied entirely machined,
either plain or perforated, depending on acoustic and
aesthetic requirements. They are suitable for both wall and
ceiling installations and offer a particularly efficient surface
treatment which is resistant to scratches, abrasion, UV lights,
chemical products and fire.
Obersound 5.5
Oberflex appointed design agency ‘5.5 Designers’ to review
the Obersound panels and propose a new collection of
panels offering an entirely new response to architects and
specifiers calling for a range of acoustic panels manufactured
from Oberflex.
Acoustic products generally have standardised perforations,
with the patterns resulting from tools and production
constraints. They are often thought out for the sole purpose
of optimising costs and performances to the detriment of
aesthetic quality.
The development of new production tools in
collaboration with 5.5 Designers meant that new and
original perforation patterns could be created. Far and
above just a catalogue of acoustic performances, they
introduced a collection concept as done in the fashion
world. These proposals now offer an exciting real
potential for architects and specifiers, who are increasingly
sensitive to the details of their constructions.
Deck d’Ober
The Deck d’Ober Collection is a range of boat deck jointed
solid wooden strips. Deck d’Ober panels can be used to
achieve curved surfaces, such as a bathtub apron, or column
wrapping. It is available in four wood species, Teak, Wenge,
Bubinga and Doussie, and is generally supplied unfinished.
The strips are joined together on installation with a choice
of black or white mastic, according to the aesthetic
preference of the specifier. The Teak finish is also suitable
for external applications and for use in very humid
environments such as swimming pools or shower rooms.

ABOUT OBERFLEX:
The Oberflex Company concentrates its interests and skills
into the service of transforming a living material chosen for its
environmental qualities: wood.
Laminating wood veneer is at the heart of Oberflex knowhow.
As an industrial specialist in wood for more than 80
years, Oberflex offers a range of panels with technical highquality
and great aesthetic diversity.
Oberflex is now a solidly placed player in the field of interior
decoration. With the strength of its long experience, this
company offers the widest range of wood in the world, with
more than 500 references, for solutions suited for the various
sectors of construction (offices, public buildings, hotels,
restaurants, shop fitting, etc) and also for industry (doors,
furniture, kitchens, bathrooms etc).
OBERFLEX ® KNOW-HOW
The aesthetical qualities of Oberflex panels result from a
meticulous selection of the most beautiful species of wood
coming from suppliers from all other the world. Oberflex
panels fit with all kinds of interior layouts thanks to the
surface finishing obtained by the pressing of hot resin onto
the veneer. The panels are resistant to abrasion, impacts,
scratches, UV lights, cigarette burns and staining. The
Oberflex finishing guarantees a high technical quality range
of products, which are fire-resistant (type M1), can be
cleaned with soapy water and don’t require any surface
treatment.
THE TRADITION OF INNOVATION
Oberflex makes innovation a daily priority, a determination
expressed in permanent investment in research and
development. The company thus stands out each year by its
ability to modernise and enrich its offer with the twice-yearly
launch of new collections.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
For Oberflex, it is essential to
integrate environmental questions
into its industrial approach. The
company deliberately committed
itself to a citizen’s approach,
expressed over several years in a
policy that has radically turned to
ecology and Research &
Development work under the
influence of eco-design. For Oberflex, being supplied with
components and timber products from durably managed
forests – under controlled and monitored exploitation – is a
daily commitment expressed in the PEFC certification of its
products. Oberflex products also correspond to targets
frequently chosen on the occasion of HEQ (High
Environmental Qualities) projects.
Oberflex is exclusively distributed in the UK by Abet Ltd.
