Formica 180fx Laminate offers inspiration on a grand scale with the introduction of beautiful new designs for use in residential applications such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundries, and commercial applications such as shop fit-outs, hospitality and office renovations.

The new additions – Ferro Grafite, Bianca Luna and Dolce Vita – take the lead from European design trends that tend to resonate with the New Zealand style, albeit with a unique local twist.

"These new designs will change the face of kiwi surfaces – providing the look of beautiful natural stone, combined with all the functional benefits of laminate and at a fraction of the cost," says Teresa Walsh, Laminex New Zealand Marketing Development Manager.

"Formica 180fx Ferro Grafite is sophisticated – offering class and style – whilst Bianca Luna is more traditional and then there's the showpiece called Dolce Vita which will be sure to turn heads and be the talking point of any space," adds Walsh.

Formica 180fx Laminate offers a range of surface finishes; GlossPlus, Matt and the new Satin – an exceptionally flat soft finish that adds a touch of class to any modern decor. Matching acrylic edging provides a highly durable and aesthetically pleasing profile for kitchen benchtops, tables and work surfaces allowing Formica 180fx Laminate to provide the look of a natural stone slab with a square edge.

Designed to endure the day-to-day challenges of interior environments, the Formica 180fx Laminate range is durable and easy to clean, and is backed by an impressive seven year limited warranty.
