Interior Design

AIR-board® ECO and clear-PEP® ECO panels open up limitless possibilities for creative and sustainable interior design. They combine individual design freedom with responsible resource use – lightweight, durable and recyclable.

Whether translucent surfaces, exceptional forming, integrated lighting effects or custom-made formats, our panels unite creative freedom with ecological responsibility. A wide range of colors, surface finishes and special effects enables distinctive spatial concepts that are as inspiring as they are functional.

The result is interior spaces where architecture and atmosphere merge seamlessly – aesthetically sophisticated, highly versatile and a clear statement of sustainability.

Creating sustainable innovation together

Frequently asked questions about us and our products

What is the best way to illuminate the elements?

Backlighting is the most effective method. Satin-finished surfaces diffuse the light evenly, while high-gloss finishes emphasize the crystalline character. Side lighting is less effective.

Are the elements walkable?

Yes, for example with clear-PEP ECO PC stage in a thickness of 40 mm. Walkability depends on the structural design and applied loads; a structural calculation can be provided if required.

How sustainable are clear-PEP and AIR-board ECO elements?

For PMMA/acrylic, the facing sheets consist of 100% recycledR-MMA, while the polycarbonate (PC) facing sheets contain 83% bio-circular material.

What fire classification do the panels meet?

clear-PEP ECO PC clear and AIR-board ECO PC clear comply with fire classification B-s1,d0 and B-s2,d0 respectively, in accordance with EN 13501.

Can clear-PEP / AIR-board ECO elements be used outdoors?

Yes. For outdoor applications, clear-PEP with polycarbonate face sheets is suitable.

Is it possible to bend or curve the elements?

Partially. One-dimensional forming is only possible with clear-PEP panels featuring PMMA / acrylic facing sheets or acoustic panels.

Are clear-PEP ECO PC elements suitable for shading applications?

Yes. Thanks to their innovative core geometry, they provide effective shading performance.

Which panel sizes are available?

Standard sizes: 3,000 × 1,000 mm (colored) and 3,000 × 1,220 mm (clear).

Maximum size: Up to 4,500 × 2,000 × 40 mm available on request.

What thicknesses are available for the elements?

Standard thickness: 19 mm.
For flooring applications: 40 mm. Please refer to the relevant data sheet.

How can the side edges be sealed?

Depending on the application, up to six different edge solutions are available. Please contact us directly for further details.

How are the panels installed in outdoor applications?

Depending on the project, panels can be installed using profiles, point fixings or adhesive bonding methods. It is important to take the thermal expansion of the panels into account.

Sustainability & ESG – Innovation for a Future-Ready Economy

Sustainability & ESG

The location of our company inspires the entire team every day to actively contribute to reducing environmental pollution. Surrounded by unspoiled mountains and meadows, design composite relied on state-of-the-art ecological construction methods when building its new production facility in the Salzburg region of Pinzgau.
The measures implemented have resulted in a positive energy balance and enabled the sustainable reduction of a calculated CO₂ emission equivalent of 140 tons per year.

For us, sustainability is more than a goal – it is an integral part of our corporate strategy.
Through innovative technologies, a responsible supply chain, and a clear ESG focus, we develop sustainable solutions that meet the requirements of tomorrow.
