If you’re going for bold, there’s no better way to do it than with red. A red colour scheme – no matter if it’s a deep wine hue, a cheeky cherry red, or a bashful blush – takes confidence to pull off. It’s an undeniably sexy shade, giving a powerful pop of colour whether you use it for composite doors or work surfaces, washroom cubicles or office furniture.
If you don’t like being the centre of attention, it’s not the shade for you. It’s for those that want to make a statement or add some extra drama to their products or design schemes. This fiery shade can make a big impact used in a corporate environment, or for a wow-factor look in the home. Whether you go high gloss or textured, full-on red or just accent edges, if you’re feeling a little bit daring, this is the colour to choose.
Of course, once you’ve found your boards in that perfect shade of red, you need perfectly colour matched red edge banding to complete the look. That’s when you should come to us. The best place to start your search is over in our online shop. Simply type in your board reference and see what our Perfect Match Search can find. We have literally thousands of edge bandings, but using your reference will make sure you land upon the edge banding that’s made-to-match.
