DOMOTEX is renowned as the definitive meeting place for market leaders from the global floor coverings industry and therefore provides the perfect opportunity for Jewel Blade to raise the company’s profile on an international level. DOMOTEX 2016 saw approximately 45,000 trade visitors from over 100 nations and 1,441 exhibitors from 59 countries reinforcing the reputation of this trade fair as a show which underpins the floor covering industry. DOMOTEX provides a great platform for Jewel Blade to present a wide range of their products for the flooring industry including their XL Premium Silver & Gold Blade Range, Professional Knives & Cutters and their ever increasing range of blades for the textile and fibre industries.  

The innovative XL Premium Silver & Gold Range of blades are designed, developed and manufactured by Jewel Blade in Sheffield England to the highest of industry standards using a high quality Premium 1.25% Carbon Steel which is utilised more commonly in the production of surgical blades. Jewel Blade are the ONLY UK MANUFACTURERS to use this premium quality steel to produce blades for use in the flooring industry. This superior steel can be heat treated to a higher tolerance effectively increasing the hardness and consequently improving both the durability and performance of the blades.  

The XL Premium Silver range with increased blade sharpness is designed to be longer lasting for the professional fitters. With a polished finish enhancing the blades slip factor there is reduced amount of drag generated when cutting through the toughest of modern day materials,  subsequently reducing user handling which in turn reduces the risk of accidental sharps injuries and tool downtime ensuring a more productive and cost effective blade.   

The XL Premium Gold boasts a Titanium Nitride (TiN crossbow) coating allowing the blades to remain sharper for longer with an increased cutting performance of up to 8 X making them ideal for use when cutting through those more abrasive materials like Heavy Duty Safety Flooring and LVT. All of these factors contribute to providing the fitter with a higher yield that ensures they ‘Achieve More with Less’.
