Laminates ain`t just laminates no more!


 By Geoff Grover – www.geoffgrover.com.auFebruary 2013Another handy property tip from Mr. Mount Coolum Real Estate

High Pressure Laminate (HPL) is a popular choice for benchtops, formed around a thick substrate to make a laminate benchtop, which can deliver profiles from bullnose to more contemporary slab-like stone looks.


The look can be enhanced with a range of finishes from textured to high gloss, plus, a range of edging options offer the flexibility to create a colour matched square-edge without the black line at the join.
Printing technology now makes available a myriad of stylish and contemporary looks in a cost-effective way compared with other benchtop surfaces.
This i
ncludes solid colours, woodgrains,  modern abstracts & real stone patterns. Laminex recently released 180fx, which  replicates the striking colour variations,   intricate veining and sophisticated layers of real stone surfaces.



Another new product, Freestyle Curves, is a 100% thermoformable surface which has transforming capabilities & seamless edges
At a product launch it was displayed in a ribbon like format (pictured) to illustrate the flexibility it offers.
When planning that benchtop update, it definitely pays to shop around to check out  new technology.
