Interiors are ever-changing and, thanks to the almost limitless options in surface treatments, the possibilities in terms of design are endless. High-pressure laminate (also known as HPL) is one of the few surface materials that perfectly combines robust durability with stylish versatility, perfect for all designs in any given space. Recently, new and innovative designs have been introduced, thus putting this material to good use and enhancing aesthetics.
WHAT’S TRENDING
One of the best things about laminate is its versatility – as architects, designers and clients can get the look of real wood or stone by using laminates at a fraction of the cost of the original material. Thanks to advancements in modern technology, laminates are now imitating the look of wood, granite and other stones, making it impossible to tell the difference between the real thing and the laminate version.
This quality provides designers and businesses with much more freedom when coming up with design concepts. Certain wood or stone styles may be unattainable due to budget constraints – but thanks to high-pressure laminates, the exact same look can be created effectively and affordably.
Commenting on the trending demands in the market, Parul Mittal, director, Greenlam Industries, says, “Wood patterns are always in high demand since they provide an extremely warm aura along with a natural touch. Custom laminates that have patterns digitally printed on them are also gaining demand in laminates, which can be used to make statement walls and are extremely easy to maintain. Veneers are also quite popular in the industry and give you a bit of flexibility to experiment with your space.”
