Laminex NZ's Wet Wall Panelling Solutions Deliver Trusted Performance

Click here to check out Laminex NZ's latest update to Seratone — Seratone AQUA PLUS — launched in September 2024

Whether lining hospital walls, a shower at the bach or fitting out a trendy new retail store, Seratone and Laminex Aquapanel from Laminex New Zealand offer a versatile range of wall paneling solutions that allow functionality and aesthetics to go hand in hand.

Seratone panels are pre-finished wall panels manufactured on lightweight, high-density fibreboard. The panels are produced using UV coating technology with paint containing no Volatile Organic Compounds and fully cured using UV light. Panels possess a tough glass-like finish which is stain, steam and moisture resistant. The UV cured surface offers improved scratch and chemical resistance when compared to similar two-pack paint systems.

Seratone carries BRANZ appraisal for specific use as a wet area panel. An antimicrobial silver additive in the UV clear coat protects all Seratone panels against microbial activity giving them long-term and effective protection from harmful bacteria and cross contamination. Seratone panels are also easy to clean, impervious to moisture and will not support mould growth, making them an ideal material for hospitals, restaurants, research facilities and other areas where hygiene is critical.

Seratone panels are available in two distinct ranges; Seratone Escape offers 16 ultra-glossy colour personalities, while Seratone Life is comprised of six traditional, fresh neutral decors, available in either satin or gloss finish.

Laminex Aquapanel is a melamine surfaced high-pressure laminate specifically designed for a wide variety of vertical wet wall applications in both residential and commercial bathrooms, laundries, shower and changing rooms, wall panelling and partitions and kitchen splashbacks. The innovative, strong and durable 2.7mm sheets feature a black core allowing the distinctive black edge to be exposed in applications.

A cost-competitive alternative to tiles and/or paint, Laminex Aquapanel is stylish, hard-wearing, rot-resistant, non-porous and grout free, allowing for easy cleaning in both domestic and commercial environments. Now available in three finish options — Tile, Ripple and the recently launched Polar White Gloss — Laminex Aquapanel can create a stylish yet functional wall solution for a range of applications.

To complement the finished panels, both Seratone and Laminex Aquapanel have colour matched aluminium jointers providing an elegant way to integrate panel joins.
