I’m just exploring some options for laminates for our furniture. The ones I saw are matt, glossy and semi-mat?
Which ones are recommended from durability as well as cleaning purpose?
This is for our living room.
There are quite a few options out there, when it comes to laminates!
glossy – suitable for kitchens as it’s easy to clean
matte – for those who don’t like glossy surfaces
textured – you can literally feel the texture of the laminate, great for a classy furniture piece; popular textures are grainy, linear, etc.
solid colour – mostly used in kitchen countertops & bathroom cabinets
digital print – great for decorating your home!
Laminates are mostly easy to clean - regular dusting and slightly wet cloth for stains should do the trick! Don’t use any abrasive cleaners, though - they can cause damage!
They are also scratch-resistant and durable. They can withstand wear and tear, heat and moisture to an extent. But if exposed to water for a long time, they can warp!
The prices vary as per the pattern and quality of the laminate sheet. You can expect the cost to be Rs. 600 per sheet onwards for furniture (the price is per sheet for furniture).
