Revamp Your Furniture with Lucida High-Gloss Laminates

Furniture tends to lose its charm over time with regular use and exposure to heat, light and other external factors. Replacing expensive interiors is not always an option. However, renovating your old faded furniture into shining laminated interiors is a sure-shot way to enhance the beauty of your home. CenturyLaminates brings you an affordable range of high-gloss laminates called Lucida to help you jazz up your house instantly. 

What are Lucida Laminates?

Lucida laminates are 1mm thick designer laminates made to be applied on kitchen cabinets and cupboards. With a glossy texture and mirror-like shine, they bring a premium look to any space. These laminates are highly durable, antibacterial, stain, scuff and heat resistant to ensure prolonged newness of the laminates and the safety of your family. Lucida laminates are ideal for interior decoration and can withstand daily wear and tear. 

The Lucida range comes with a huge catalogue of textured laminates, high gloss, marble, white, and other decorative laminate sheets that turn your boring furniture into luxurious, extravagant interiors that are envied by all. Lucida laminates are available in various designs and colours to make it easy for homeowners to match the interiors to their personal style. 

Features of Lucida Laminates

One of CenturyLaminates' most popular products, the Lucida collection is trusted for the wide range of features that it provides, including:

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Virokill Technology 

Lucida laminates are enriched with the revolutionary ViroKill Technology developed by CenturyPly. The technology uses nanoparticles that rupture after coming in contact with viruses, bacteria and other pathogens, effectively destroying them and safeguarding your family's health. The ViroKill technology kills 99.99% of viruses and bacteria and gives Lucida laminates antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties. The laminates create a clean, hygienic surface for you to keep kitchen utensils, food and other items without any worry.​​​​​​​

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Heat Resistant 

The kitchen is one area of the house that is constantly exposed to heat, which makes it crucial for kitchen cabinets, countertops and other interiors to be heat resistant. The Lucida laminates have been specially designed, keeping the kitchen in mind. The laminates can withstand extreme temperatures – up to 180 degrees Celsius so you can keep your pots and pans on the counters without any distortion or damage to the laminates. ​​​​​​​

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Colour Fastness 

Kitchen cabinets are often subjected to daily wear and tear, resulting in a dull appearance that is commonly accepted. However, unlike regular decorative laminates, glossy laminates designed for kitchen use offer excellent colour fastness. Lucida laminates have a special layer of unique overlay tissue, making the laminate highly resistant to Xenon arc light. It prolongs the colour's lifespan and prevents the laminates from becoming dull or matte after years of use.​​​​​​​

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ BWR-Grade

Much like all other CenturyLaminates, the Lucida laminates are Boiling Water Resistant. It means that the laminates can be used in high-moisture areas in the kitchen, like near the sink or bathrooms, and they won't suffer any swelling or warping due to water exposure.​​​​​​​

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Impact Resistant 

CenturyLaminates feature a unique top layer combined with sturdy construction, resulting in superior impact resistance. Lucida high-gloss laminates effectively shield surfaces from damage caused by heavy or falling objects, making them perfect for application over cabinets, tables, desks and more.​​​​​​​

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Scuff Resistant 

The high gloss Lucida laminates are resistant to scuffs, which makes them ideal for transportation and installation without causing any damage to them. This ensures that your interiors retain their immaculate appearance for years. ​​​​​​​

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stain and Abrasion Resistant

Although it is common among laminates applied in the kitchen to lose their glossy finish within a few years due to exposure to various elements like heat, water and cleaning solutions, Lucida laminates are immune to abrasion. After several scrubbing tests conducted to test their durability, Lucida laminates show 90% gloss retention, ensuring your designer kitchen cabinets remain stunning for years to come.​​​​​​​

Best Places to Apply Lucida Laminates

Lucida laminates can be applied to any area of your home, including your bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom. These laminates are 1mm thick to showcase the textures and designs in their full glory in living rooms. The heat resistance and ViroKill technology make them ideal for use in the kitchen to ensure hygiene. The BWR grade makes them perfect for high-moisture areas like the bathroom. The versatile Lucida laminates are an excellent option if you are confused or want to avoid using different types of laminates for different areas. Lucida laminates will add an air of luxury to any room in your home.​​​​​​​
