Laminex surfaces are designed for living Laminex
Designing a kitchen, bathroom or laundry can be a daunting process for anyone, particularly when faced with the multitude of products that are available, and that’s even before embarking on the process of selecting colours. Natural stone and painted doors might initially be on a homeowner’s wishlist, but upon considering how their family lives and the amount of wear and tear surfaces in the home are likely to sustain, they may look to an alternative. At once durable and stylish, Laminex laminates are resilient yet won’t compromise your desired look.
The home’s high-traffic zones, such as kitchens, are especially prone to surface wear and tear. Here, Laminex offers an ideal solution, thanks to its range of hard-wearing laminates that are scratch-, stain-, heat- and UV-resistant. The Laminex range is available in a myriad of textures and finishes, from smooth and natural to high gloss, as well as AbsoluteMatte, which features anti-fingerprint technology.
Further advances in laminate technology, including digital printing and textured finishes, mean that true realism is now captured in the range of Laminex laminates. Now, more than ever, laminate surfaces can evoke the tactility and appearance of natural stone, timbers or concrete. Increasingly seen in the home, the use of a singular, midtone colour over a large area can help to create a sense of warmth and seamless flow between adjacent rooms. These are among the many striking design schemes that can be achieved using laminates in hues drawn from the Laminex Colour Collection.
Reflecting a movement toward design that connects with our natural environment, the Laminex Colour Collection delivers a timeless colour palette to contemporary Australian homes. Including a new, stunning range of solid colours inspired by the Australian landscape, as well as wood grains, minerals and metallics, the collection offers a robust and beautiful surface finish that is sure to enhance the interiors of any home.
Design tips when using laminates:
1 If you would like the look of a stone benchtop, choose an eighteen-millimetre-thick top, which has a streamlined look.
2 For a more contemporary look, consider adding a contrasting edge colour – a timber grain can look great against a solid colour.
3 For an architectural look, opt for cabinetry with finger pulls or push catches, rather than handles. This will help to create a more seamless and stylish scheme.
