What is RESIN?
-
RESIN is the term used to describe polyester resins manufactured using a multi-layer process. Layer for layer, fibre glass mats are soaked and/or coated with RESIN (polyester). The final layer is the top coat which is composed of particularly finely layered polyester resin combined with the glass mat. This produces a very smooth surface that meets OBUK’s quality standards.
-
Can the glass be subsequently replaced?
-
Yes, the inner frames are snapped on using a special plug connecting technique, enabling the glass to be changed at any time.
-
What does the ornamental frame on wood decor panels look like?
-
Ornamental frames for wood decor panels are given a hand-painted and natural wood texture with pores, which is matched to the colour of the base plate. In doing so, we set real standards and guarantee the highest levels of quality.
-
Which models are also available with wood decor?
-
With the exception of a few grooved models, all models made of OBUKRESIN® and OBUKALUMINIUM® are available with wood decor or decor films. In the “Products” section, you can find a list of the variants that are available for each model.
-
What is the U value of an OBUK entrance door panel?
-
The standard U value of OBUK entrance door panels is 1.2 W/sqm K. Solid, leaf concealing entrance door panels made of OBUKRESIN® with a panel thickness of 85 mm achieve a U value of 0.36 W/sqm K. This makes them suitable for passive houses (front door in total: 0.80 W/sqm K).
-
Are OBUK entrance door panels free from CFC?
-
Of course! The insulating core made of rigid polyurethane foam is free from CFC, lead and cadmium.
-
What colours are available for the panels?
-
Any RAL colour you like (multi-coloured panels are also possible)
-
How are the external and internal ornamental frames mounted?
-
Special adhesive is used to homogeneously bond the external ornamental frames to the base plate before they are also bolted.
The internal ornamental frames are snapped on using a special plug connecting technique, enabling the glass to be changed at any time. -
How can I tell which wood decor is illustrated in the catalogue or here on the internet?
-
Reproducing the colours of a wood decor film correctly is virtually impossible on the internet and extremely difficult in a catalogue. This is why we recommend comparison with an original film. (Your specialist retailer can show them to you). Orders should please always contain the Renolit number.

All models are available both in OBUKRESIN® and OBUKALUMINIUM®.
