Transforming a residential architecture project with high pressure laminate

                       

Homeowners increasingly seek bespoke designs, creating living spaces that reflect their personality and individual style. Architects and designers are more and more turning to laminate as their go-to material of choice showing to the full array of uses laminate can offer.

High pressure laminate is a paper-based durable material that evades stains and general wear and tear that other, more costly, natural materials can suffer from. Maintaining laminate is as easy as using a damp cloth – no waxing, polishing or special treatments are required, plus the colour will remain looking as fresh as day one, for years to come.

Here are just a few ways architects and designers can incorporate laminate into a residential project:

• Doors

• Splashbacks and worktops
