Having the entire laminate catalogue placed in front of you can be a very overwhelming circumstance to find oneself in. The sheer amount of choices one can find in the Lucida Laminates by CenturyLaminates catalogue can go into the hundreds. There are many high-quality, good-looking, and interesting designs to choose from that may even captivating for some customers. It can be difficult for a customer to pick out the perfect one that can fit their exact needs.
Too many options can be very concerning, and since most want their laminate to stay for a long time, they would only take a decision they feel strongly about. Choosing the laminate is an important process, and to do so the following concerns must be put into consideration, most of these factors being provided by Premium High Gloss Lucida Laminates:
Colour
There are so many colours in the world of laminates. You could find a laminate of conceivably any shade. It is important to pick out the options that fit in with the exact aesthetic you are aiming to create with your kitchen. A sharp red might be a good choice for some, but for others, it can be a terrible option.
Remember the overall design and colour scheme of your home and make sure your colour scheme matches the needs of the home. If your home has little space, make sure lighter colours are picked out so that the space feels larger. This is an important choice for any decorative laminate.
The selection of the colours should be done after considering the size of the kitchen, the amount of natural light that can make its way into the kitchen, your cooking, and your taste as well. White and light pastels are colours that can make your home look very bright, but would be a little harder to keep clean. However, scuffs are more visible on the darker materials.
Make sure to keep all of these concerns into consideration while making the right choice for your home. The right choice can make or break the home design so this is a very crucial step.
High-Pressure Laminates
These are laminates that are bonded to the surface at incredibly high pressure. This makes them very durable to the various pressure and temperature issues that may crop out in a kitchen space. Kitchens have a great deal of temperature, moisture, and humidity fluctuations based on what is being cooked and at what heat. Making sure your kitchen laminates can withstand all of these fluctuations and don’t just peel off easily is very important. These are laminates are 1mm thick, and a larger thickness is often more resistant.
You do not want your laminate to peel off in time, so taking good care of it is important. Making sure you purchase a high quality and durable one is incredibly crucial and even with a high-pressure laminate, make sure there is no prolonged exposure to water and dampness, as it can still be damaged.
Virokill Technology Laminates
There are many innovations taking place in the realm of laminates, and one of these brilliant innovations has been the upcoming Antibacterial Laminates which are designed to have anti-bacterial properties. Lucida laminates have led the charge in the development and usage of this technology.
They are a great option for the kitchen as they can protect a lot of the food that is kept and cooked there. Anti-bacterial laminates are a great tool to discourage bacterial and germ buildup, and with regular cleaning, they can make your kitchen significantly more clean and more hygienic overall.
In the contemporary post-pandemic era, the reality of health and protection from these microbes has been put into sharp context. Taking any steps to ensure that your home is protected from them is important, and this laminate is just another tool that can act as a barrier from the diseases that are out there and can find their way into your food.
Fire Resistance
Kitchen spaces can be very dangerous, as cooking is quite often done on fires, and they can go out of control. It is important to make sure that the kitchen space overall is fire resistant so that it does not spread out of control and fire-resistant laminates are a great way to make sure that happens.
Flame-resistant surfaces do not catch on fire very easily and can be perfect for any kitchen space. They also tend to be resistant to smoke and heat overall, making them perfect to guard against any accidents that can cause a fire. This can be a very great addition to any home.
Making sure you pick the right design is just as important as making sure your laminate has the previously mentioned features. There are many design and finish options, but a one-point guide to them is as follows.
-
High Gloss Finish
Very posh design choice and light colours may even feel like a mirror. However, they do require constant cleaning and can be high maintenance.
-
Matte Finish
These are not as reflective, and certainly easier to clean than high gloss options. They are functional.
-
Textured Finish
Texture finished has various textures that can resemble other materials and can have a specific look that you want. They tend to be magnets for grease and dust, which might be an issue in the kitchen space.
-
Solid colours
Great options for kitchen space, and many vibrant options that can give a more muted look to the kitchen if a glossy finish is not the requirement.
Keeping all the options and the different finishes available in mind, it should be incredibly easy to pick the right one for your home.
