Difference Between Regular & Antiviral Laminates: What Should You Use?

High pressure laminates (HPL) have caught the attention of homeowners and professionals across the globe for their stunning beauty and convenience. Qualities like their inherent beauty, elegance and ease of use have propelled them to new heights of popularity in the interior decor industry.

There are broadly two types of laminates you can choose from: regular high pressure laminates and antiviral high pressure laminates. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of your options, read this blog to understand the difference between regular & antiviral laminates and which one you should choose for your next project.

THE DIFFERENCE

Regular HPL are laminates that are manufactured in the traditional process and are not specifically treated to have special properties. They are naturally resistant to bacterial, borer & termites and prove to be a good surface solution for your homes.

Antiviral laminates by CenturyLaminates on the other hand are HPL that have been specially treated during the manufacturing process to have antiviral properties. Made with patented and one-of-a-kind latest technology called ViroKill Technology, these laminates can kill more than 99% of viruses, bacteria, fungus and microbes that land on the laminate surface.

The antiviral properties are non-leaching, non-hazardous and valid for the lifetime of the furniture.

Apart from this, they are also highly resistant to scratches, scuff, water, stains and malodour. They are easy to clean and maintain and quite light on the pocket.

WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Antiviral laminates are an upgrade to regular laminates and have all the qualities of regular laminates and more. They help you maintain the highest levels of home interior hygiene without compromising on style. Not only that, these laminates eliminate harmful pathogens thereby reducing the number of times you would otherwise need to sanitise and clean the surfaces. They are easy to maintain and do not need much effort when it comes to their upkeep and prove to be the better choice when compared to regular laminates.
