These are only two of the eighteen new products and decors which also sees the addition of solid colours, stone patterns, woodgrains, and global award winning texture.

Laminex New Zealand Category Manager, Teresa Walsh, said the new range has identified the most popular designs and colours from Europe, and adapted them to meet contemporary design needs in New Zealand.

“This has resulted in a stunning collection of decors that offers improved design flexibility and relevance to the Formica Laminate range and makes it possible for designers and specifiers to explore new colour combinations across a wide range of interior applications, in both commercial and domestic spaces,” she said.

Following the 100-year Formica celebration in 2013, the Formica brand continues to provide solutions to create interior spaces that combine aesthetic appeal and durability. This is demonstrated by the release of the beautifully textured, truly design-leading Plex finish.

Exclusive to the Formica brand, Plex combines the colour and character of real metals with the practical, flexible properties of laminate.  Created as a texture on top of real metal foils, Plex achieves a textile feel with a low-gloss sheen.  Plex is a tactile laminate surface that exudes quality and helps achieve a fresh, timeless look for vertical applications.  With a globally recognised Red Dot award for design, this highly on-trend collection is perfect for both international and cutting edge New Zealand projects.

“Furthermore, the Magnetic Whiteboard and Chalkboard makes it simpler for designers to create fully functional, interactive interiors for offices, learning environments and retail spaces," Teresa added. 

Designed to endure the day-to-day challenges of interior environments, the Formica Laminate range is durable and easy to clean, and is backed by an impressive seven-year limited warranty.
