The finishing touches are what pulls together an interior design project. Laminates can get you those finishing touches all the time. Whether the project is residential, commercial, laminates can give you the best aesthetics, durability, and cost. But with the number of laminate options on the market these days, how do you choose?

We are going to outline the different types of laminates, explain the laminate sheets, talk about trends, and hopefully show you why Royale Touche is a fantastic surface solutions brand to work with.

What are Laminates

Laminates are multi-layer decorative surface materials, made from compressing layers of decorative paper and resin. Laminates can be used as a decorative surface protectant for furniture surfaces, panels for walls, wardrobes, or countertops. Laminates are versatile and available in a variety of textures, colors, and finishes.

Also, not all laminates are equal. The types of Sunmica, which is a well-known brand name in India and is often used to generically refer to laminates, will differ from one another in function and aesthetic.

Types of Laminates by Royale Touche

Below you will find types of laminate sheets by Royale Touche that cater to specific needs:

1. Textured Laminates
If you want a tactile experience and want to feel natural materials of wood, stone, or fabric, this is the option for you. Textured laminates are dimensional and great for adding depth.

2. High Gloss Laminates
If you are looking for a more high-end and glossy aesthetic, high gloss laminates are the solution. High gloss laminates are well-suited to spaces such as kitchens, wardrobes, or offices that have modernity and clean lines as a priority.

3. Matte Laminates
The understated and aesthetically sophisticated look of a matte laminate will suit people who are keen to avoid fingerprints and scratches. A range of matte laminate options are commonly the product of choice for family-friendly homes and commercial environments.

4. Digital Laminates
Customization is achievable with prints, graphics, or even your own images with digital laminates. This particular type of laminate sheet is frequently used for feature walls or galleries in brand-focused commercial spaces.

5. Anti-Bacterial Laminates
If you are looking for a type of Sunmica that is practical and functional, some choices also have anti-bacterial and hygienic properties for areas such as hospitals, schools, and kitchens. Royale Touche has laminate selections with anti-microbial properties.

6. Metallic Laminates
Whilst hardware implementation of metallic laminates can provide some very avant-garde combinations with metal finishes and laminate, metallic laminates are a good choice for upscale offices, retail stores, or high-end design features.

Latest Trends in Laminate Design

Trends can be a good influencer when it comes to making a lasting choice that is also on-trend:

• Natural Textures: Wood grain and stone finishes remain popular choices.
  
• Bold Patterns: Geometric and abstract layering design is emerging in digital laminate.
  
• Sustainable Options: Now even low-emission laminate sheets are commercially available.
  
• Two-Tone Finishes: Two-tone laminates are an emerging design trend in contrasting interiors.
  
• Ultra-matte Surfaces: Soft touch laminates resistant to smudges with a velvet feel are taking off.

Choosing the Right Laminate

Making a decision about the type of laminate seems overwhelming. Here are some professional tips:

• Use Function to Drive Form: Anti-bacterial or high-gloss types of laminate should be considered in kitchens, while matte or textured types of laminates can be used for bedrooms.
  
• Be Aware of Endurance: Areas with high traffic should consider the tougher laminate sheet types and/or the scratch-resistant types of laminate in surfaces like kitchen countertops where heat is a factor.
  
• Stay with a Theme: Choose the types of Sunmica that can be used in design whether it be minimal, vintage, or modern.
  
• Stick with Established Brands: Use established companies like Royale Touche that can guarantee and deliver quality and finish consistently.
