Conti® mattex Shine – Probably the most stylish contradiction there is

The Arctic Circle’s midnight sun, a bittersweet comedy, or the entirely detested freezer burn – some things simply seem entirely incomprehensible due to their contradictory nature. And yet all these things prove not only that these characteristics are able to exist alongside one another, but also that this inner contradiction is their “certain something” that sets them apart. This is also the case for Conti® mattex Shine: a product that blurs the lines entirely between matt and glossy.

Nights when the sun never sets: a concept that is difficult to reconcile with our idea of day and night and therefore light and dark, and yet it exists in reality, with the residents of Norway experiencing this several times a year. The midnight sun is such an oxymoron – not only as a phenomenon, but with respect to the word itself as well. The Conti® mattex Shine plastic profile coating is just the same, since it combines two opposites that seem entirely incompatible: a matt finish, together with shine.

The premium surface achieves a particularly matt look, with an appearance reminiscent of powder-coated aluminum, yet it also has a subtle shimmer at the same time. It is this harmonious combination of two opposite characteristics that makes the product so unique. With its elegant appearance, the Conti® mattex Shine premium surface is a real eye-catcher for modern properties with that little something extra.

Opposites attract

The unique design with its scratch-resistant grain and sand-matt feel is just one side of the coin, however. The window profile coating from Continental knows how to impress not only aesthetically speaking, but through its inner values as well. Conti® mattex Shine has a special cover layer that makes the surface extremely temperature resistant, as well as more resistant to chemicals. The result: the plastic profile coating is particularly easy to clean and remains in top form in every sense, even after years of extreme weathering. Incidentally, its temperature-resistant properties are also beneficial during processing, as it means that neither welding nor bending will lead to any glare effects.

A premium material that keeps its cool

Conti® mattex Shine incorporates the cool colors technology that comes as standard for all Continental exterior coatings. Special pigments help to ensure here that heat-producing, near-infrared solar radiation is unable to penetrate into the profile. Instead, it is largely reflected, which means that the window remains cool and dimensionally stable.

In terms of both design and function – the plain film for window profiles is the perfect partner for modern properties with that little something extra. It is now also available in the new colors “beige Shine,” “dark graphite,” “white aluminum,” “gray aluminum” and “deep bronze.”
