Sirris Smart Coating Lab has applied haptic coatings on the profiles to create a silky, warm, rubber or soft touch feel, given the profiles a luxurious feel upon touch. Several coatings were applied using different coating techniques resulting in different “feelings”.
Stillemans is looking into the option of implementation of a coating line in their production or the external application of the coatings by a jobcoater.
