Why Gloss Matters in Home Design

Glossy finishes catch light. They make rooms feel larger and fresher. A shiny surface adds a luxury feel even on a modest budget. When your home glows, it lifts your mood. Gloss also hides small flaws. That smooth, reflective look makes everything feel neat and polished. So gloss matters not just for looks, but for how your space feels every day.

Lucida’s High-Gloss Science: What Sets It Apart

Lucida is a 1 mm thick high-gloss laminate made under high pressure with special resin. This gives it a mirror-like shine. A special overlay layer adds gloss retention and resists abrasion, keeping 90% of the shine over time. Lucida’s gloss doesn’t dull with light or cleaning. It offers a glossy finish that’s both rich and long-lasting-without polish or wax.

Gloss Retention & Scratch Resistance

• It does not get dull, even if you use it every day.


• It does not get scratched easily.


• It is a good choice for homes where things are used a lot.

• It can handle heat up to 180°C.


• You can place hot pans on it, and it won’t get spoiled.


• Even after spills or cleaning, the surface stays smooth and shiny.

Built In Hygiene

• Lucida stops germs like bacteria and viruses.


• You don’t need extra cleaners to keep it safe.
