Materials and finishes for soft laminates for furniture

When it comes to soft laminates for furniture, we often think only of color changes, but the real leap in quality lies in choosing the right material. In this article, we'll briefly outline the main types of films we use to cover doors, countertops, cabinets, and custom furniture.

Let's start by distinguishing between laminates designed for interior use and those certified for more high-traffic areas, such as heavily used kitchens or furniture in public spaces. The main differences are in terms of thickness, elasticity, material memory, and scratch resistance. It's not just a technical detail: choosing the wrong film can quickly lead to raised corners, marked edges, or difficult-to-clean surfaces.

We then enter the world of finishes. There are wood-effect films with highly realistic grain, ideal for warming up a dated kitchen or adding character to a dull cabinet. Light oak, warm walnut, and bleached ash decors are among the most popular when you want to lighten up dark spaces. For those who love contemporary lines, we offer super-matte, fingerprint-resistant finishes in pearl gray, greige, smoke gray, and soft black, as well as countless other colors. Smooth surfaces, 3D surfaces, and embossed effects—all finishes that radically change the perception of a piece of furniture.

We're also dedicating a space to concrete, stone, or brushed metal-effect laminates, perfect for transforming old countertops and cabinets into industrial-style pieces. It's important to understand where they're best used and where it's best to opt for more neutral finishes to avoid overwhelming the space.
