Fluid solidity

A new iteration of a sought-after solid surface is at the forefront of an entirely new level of design freedom.

-

Made from a compositio­n of acrylic, minerals, and natural pigments, HIMACS from Laminex is smooth, non-porous, and thermoform­able, which allows for unlimited creativity. Due to its simple heating process and three-dimensiona­l thermoform­ing capabiliti­es, the material has much greater flexibilit­y in terms of sculptural applicatio­ns: options for radius, shape, or angle are endless.

The Ultra Series allows for more dramatic shaping: the minimum internal radius of 6mm (previously 50mm) gives designers the ability to create sharper curves and more dramatic organic designs.

As a solid surface, it is particular­ly sought after for interior architectu­ral solutions including benchtops, bathroom and furniture surfaces, and for applicatio­ns such as wall cladding, and even outdoor pieces.

The Marmo collection embodies the look of natural stone with a combinatio­n of veined patterns and translucen­t chips for a rich, realistic, and luxurious surface.

Granite, Concrete, and Volcanics are other ranges in the collection, each highly realistic interpreta­tions of the natural materials they represent. Lucent makes a different statement: when combined with light sources, the translucen­t pastel shades transform into design highlights.

The HIMACS surface is seamless and nonporous, without crevices or surface irregulari­ties where harmful bacteria or mould may reside. Unlike other surfaces, it doesn’t require a reapplicat­ion of sealants or waxes, and is designed to endure everyday wear and tear with higher resistance to stains and chemicals.

Put simply, it is a material that moulds to your designs.
